PLASMA DRIVE EURORACK

HOW IT WORKS

PLASMA Voice generates sounds through the manipulation of high-voltage electrical discharges between two electrodes on a specially designed xenon-filled gas tube.
These discharges are converted to analog audio using a specialized rectifier circuit. The result is a mesmerizing electric sound that matches the visual intensity of the blue bolt of electricity.
The electric discharges are driven by a proprietary ultrasound pulse-width oscillator.

PLASMA VOICE - HOW IT WORKS

PLASMA Voice generates sounds through the manipulation of high-voltage electrical discharges between two electrodes on a specially designed xenon-filled gas tube.

The electric discharges are driven by a proprietary ultrasound pulse-width oscillator.

You SHAPE THE ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE

This oscillator is modulated by predefined samples and envelope shapes (or SOUNDS for simplicity’s sake) that you can select, trigger, waveshape and modulate with sliders and CV inputs.

EXPERIENCE NEW SONIC POSSIBILITES

The module features selectable SOUNDS that are organized into BANKS each dedicated to specific musical parts.

1 BASS
2 LEAD
3 PLUCK
4 DRUM
5 METAL
6 STATIC
7 SPARK

The SLIDERS allow you to modify each SOUND, often transforming it beyond the intended use defined by the BANK. We invite you to explore the sonic possibilities both wonderful and strange.

FULLY INDEPENDENT PLASMA VOICE

PLASMA Voice is the latest addition to our PLASMA product line. Although it shares the same technology, previous products were specifically designed as distortion units. Most of the sound shaping parameters were set at optimal sweet spots to ensure stable distortion.

By utilizing the full potential of modulating the tube’s driver, we have created the first PLASMA product that doesn’t need an external sound source. It is a fully independent voice on its own.
