Description

ASHIKO is a quad stereo/ping-pong VCA designed to create multi-directional stereo sounds starting with mono sources.

Instantly create a stereo image with a mono source and a single CV input. CV switch a sequence and send it alternatively to two different oscillators or direct the movements in a quadrophonic system. Control up to 4 sources with independent CVs and send them to 8 different outputs.

Ashiko pairs well with:
LFOs – perfect as CV inputs.
Oscillators – to enhance them in the stereo field.
Delays – instant ping-pong effect.
Samples – manipulate their presence in the mix with addition modulations

Features

• 4 Stereo full range VCAs.
• Transistor based CV inputs designed to give the best results with LFOs.
• Individual toggle switches to activate mono or stereo mode.
• Selectable hard/soft switching curve.
• Inputs and CV are normalised and they flow top to bottom when no jack is inserted.
• Works with audio and CV sources.
• “Whatever” power connector a.k.a. don’t mind the polarity.

Specs

• Width 6HP
• Depth 25mm
• 85mA +12V
• 70mA -12V
