Make Noise Pressure Points

Japanese Manual (pdf)It is.

Pressure Points (PP) is a manual controller that has enhanced keyboard functions by pressing a touch plate made of copper wire. However, this keyboard can "play" anything that is controlled by a CV, not a pitch.

In PP, pressthe touch plate,

• The voltage set by the three knobs on each touch plate is set from the three Tuned Voltage Out on the right, respectively.
• Gate voltage from Gate Out
• Pressure Out voltage according to the force that pushes the touch plate

and a total of five types of signals. When you release your hand from the touch plate, the voltage from Gate Out and Pressure Out is 0, and the voltage from Tuned Voltage Out remains the same.

To use it like a standard keyboard, you can enter Gate Out into the envelope generator and Out X into the oscillator's pitch 1V/Oct input. and apply it further

• Put Pressure Out in the CV in of the module where the sound signal passes, and patch it to change the tone with the pressed strength.
• Put Out Y Out Z in the pitch 1V/Oct input of the other oscillators and switch between three chords with one finger.

You can also use such, and a completely different usage is also possible in various ways.

As a switching device for memory, switching, and large expansion of presets The voltage coming out of Tuned Voltage Out is the X, Y, and Z knobs corresponding to the last touch plate, so you can send the destination to various CV in, such as switching three chords as written above for something other than the oscillator pitch.

As a simple example, the voltage from OUT X is switched instantly by making the X knob of stage 1 9, the X knob of stage 2 at about 3 o'clock, and the touch plate 1 and 2 are alternately switched, so it can be used to switch the module of the X destination on and off "2 states".

With all X-ZYou can switch between three voltages instantly.Gate Out and Press Out will also be output until you release your finger from the moment you switch ed further,Dramatic scene changes with one touchIt is also possible to patch to.

In addition, you can immediately use the entirely unexpected usage by changing the destination of the gate and OUT X, and changing the stage where Press OUT and Gate OUT are taken out.
Let's experiment!

To the sequencer in Brains Pressure Points is dedicatedBrainsTo match the clock signal by connecting the expander thatFour-Step Sequencerwill work as well. In that case,Play touch plate while syncing to the clockIt is also possible to.

Can be chained Pressure Points Can be chained up to fourscalable (up to two when connecting with Brains).
