robotum (now with mp3/clips/sounds/sloppy jamzzzzz)

[autopilot]

Robotum, it's a ring mod i hinted last year, its based in one of the prototypes i did around 2008 (when i tried to do a pedal called the antdroid). It has more robot tones than bell tones, it's the pedal the android should had become. The carrier is an square wave oscillator, (the carrier doesn't bleed when you aren't playing, so it's very quiet), the knobs are vol, carrier frequency (exp/cv externally controlled if you decide) and mix. It will retail for $115, videos later this week. There will be more stuff with 3 knobs and in that price range coming soon, plus other wacky full of knobs that I'm working/revisiting, since i have like 29 prototypes from around 2007-2012 that didn't see the lights, since there were some stuff around them that I couldn't fix/improve/achieve that now will have a better chance to become a reality.

I like robots, ring mods and comics. You've got my attention.

Robotum may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Robotum must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Robotum must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

Robotcum. Just consider it.

Looks great! Looking forward to hearing it!

Seems cool. I'll definitely want to see a demo with a Broadcast controlling the frequency.

[autopilot]

yes, broadcast / sequencer

Robotcum. Just consider it.

Oh hey, this is available already. Any clips, Adam? Does it do trem and stuff? Will it sound similar to the clips of the Android online? Almost bought it last night (twice), but kinda want to know what I'm getting into first. Still, at that price it's almost certainly a winner.

video will be shoot on the weekend, sorry i've been working on a new antenna2 and some custom orders, so that time has been difficult , but i can record a quick audio clip of it, probably i will just do that. The sound is more similar to the android than the planetoid, but it has more organic full sound than the android. The carrier wont go to trem, it goes to ultra fast trem, but its just a matter of adding a toggle or increasing the sweep range

Cool, thanks for the info. I guess the ring mod on the Bitquest already covers the trems and bells, so something different would be cool. I need to have a couple of beers and think it over. Then drunkenly order one.

Perfect Circuit Audio has them in stock and are running a 10% sale...

Thanks dude. Sounds great, specially the sounds between 1:30 - 2:00 in the first clip.

Love it (as usual) Adam! Quite a lot of range, and the expression opens up the possibilities lots. Going to be listening to a bunch of Robotum/Antenna/Planetoid clips as a ringmod primer.
