Description

Edit description

Unlock a world of rhythmic possibilities with the Clock Manipulator! This modular synth marvel allows musicians to explore the dimensions of time in their compositions like never before. With its trio of creative effects—Humanize, Improbability, and Swing—you can infuse your sequences with a natural groove or orchestrate delightful chaos.

The Clock Manipulator is perfect for those looking to break away from sterile, robotic beats. By randomly delaying clock pulses with the Humanize feature, or holding back pulses using Improbability, you can inject a human touch into your tracks. The Swing function offers a classic twist, delaying every other pulse to add that infectious rhythmic lilt.

Whether you're working with an external 5V clock source or tapping into the device's own internal clock, the Clock Manipulator seamlessly integrates into your setup. It features an intuitive speed control for the internal clock, automatically deferring to an external source when connected. The interface is clean and straightforward, with two LED indicators to keep you informed: one for original pulses and another for manipulated ones.

Built in a robust aluminum enclosure, this device is as durable as it is innovative. It's powered by a 9V battery or any 9V Center-Negative DC adapter, with a smart power-switching mechanism to preserve battery life. Designed and meticulously hand-built in Oakland, California, the Clock Manipulator is a testament to craftsmanship and creativity.

Key Features:

Three unique clock manipulation effects: Humanize, Improbability, and Swing
Compatible with external 5V clock sources or internal clock generator
Speed control for internal clock, overridden by external source
1/8″ clock in and out jacks
Durable aluminum enclosure
Powered by 9V battery or 9V Center-Negative DC adapter with automatic switching
Handcrafted in Oakland, California
