Description

Unleash your creativity with the Rucci Auto-Step Synthesizer, a compact powerhouse that bridges the gap between vintage charm and modern innovation. Perfectly tailored for DJs and electronic musicians, this tabletop synthesizer offers a unique sound palette thanks to its stepped-tone generator with a sweeping LFO. This feature gives your music a dynamic, automated looping effect, transforming any soundscape into a vibrant auditory experience.

Crafted with precision in Oakland, California, the Rucci Auto-Step is built to withstand the rigors of performance with its durable die-cast aluminum casing. Alongside its robust construction, this synth offers intuitive controls. Tweak the LFO speed, frequency, and pulse length on the fly, while the low-pass filter and volume knobs give you precise control over your sound’s texture. Whether you’re aiming for serene ambient tones or aggressive, pulsating beats, this synthesizer delivers.

The connectivity options are as versatile as the sound design, featuring a 1/4" output jack for seamless integration with amps and recording gear. The inclusion of 1/8" sync out and sync/CV in jacks ensures compatibility with other 5-volt clock equipment, allowing you to expand your setup effortlessly. Power it up with the included 9-volt battery or any standard 9-volt center-negative DC adapter, ensuring you’re always ready to perform or create.

Can't get enough of Michael Rucci Hand Made Gear

Perfect for the unique additions in my Ableton compositions in the studio. Playing Live, I never know what I am going to break out. The Rucci gear always has the ability to run through another piece of gear as a pseudo FX module, or to add another layer of mysterious noise in a complex tapestry of Electronic music. Hat's off to Michael! If there were only more like him.... or maybe not! If only Michael made ten new units a month, perhaps!
