{"product_id":"jomox-m-brane1-1","title":"Jomox M.Brane1_1","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo analog T-bridge oscillators become electronic membranes. Why? Because they can be coupled. And because their dampening can be controlled. Then add a little noise, add a little envelope, and the brand new \u003cstrong\u003eJomox M.Brane1_1\u003c\/strong\u003e electronic percussion synthesizer is ready.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBut because this would have just been too simple, everything is storable again and controllable by MIDI. You can use this small box either in a live setup driven by a hardware sequencer or in a production as very versatile synth in order to create incredible analog electronic percussions.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA T-Bridge oscillator is actually something like a band pass filter which is working close to the resonant frequency. Because it becomes an actual sine oscillator at perfect tune-up, you call the deviation of ideal resonance dampen. In this case, the oscillator decays in form of an attenuated vibration if it's exited - similar to a single membrane that is hit.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn the M.Brane1_1 there are two of such T-OSC. The dampen can be either negative (as just described) or positive. Then it really becomes a steadily vibrating oscillator. The more negative the dampen is, the more the T-OSC becomes a filter with sharp q-factor (quality). This can be useful at e.g. snare drums or hi hat-ish sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLooking at the skins of an acoustic drum, there are 2 membranes positioned that modulate and interact with each other by the coupling through pressure waves of the content air. That produces the typical sound of a drum. By resonance and counteractive interference new frequency bands and overtones create.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSimilar to that the parameter Coupling works at the M.Brane1_1. Both, in the first place independently vibrating T-OSCs, can attenuate or gain the vibration of the partner by means of negative or positive coupling on either ways (1_2 and 2_1). With light fingered tweaking you get these interesting membrane-like dampened sounds, especially by cross-wise positive\/negative coupling.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe values can be very close to another. Therefore it is a great advantage that the M.Brane1_1 allows for storing the parameters, because sometimes tiny value changes can cause great sound changes if the system is close to a chaotic state.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe M.Brane1_1 is definitely something for sound nerds - less for preset-twiddlers, as the manifold and sensitive modulation settings want to be explored and played with.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn Split Mode 2 both the T-OSCs can be played over the keyboard, which again causes creativity to rise.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe LFO can either modulate a choice of one T-OSC or both. It always restarts with the note trigger and works like an additional pitch envelope. Two frequently asked questions may be answered here: No, the LFO cannot be MIDI clock synchronized, and: No, the LFO isn't very fast. Both things would absolutely make no sense in this product (percussion!) and are also for technical reasons not possible to realize.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn order to create snare drum-like sounds, the M.Brane has a noise generator with an own envelope. A part of this signal is fed into the T-OSC to excite the \"membrane\" with the noise signal. The noise can be wether white noise or metal noise.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe length of noise decay and the decay of the resulting tone are controlled by two different envelopes that are commonly controlled by the parameter Decay.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMembrane Oscillators: 2 T-OSC, each of tune and dampening adjustable, both couplings in either direction adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresets:  110 (10 User RAM, 100 FLASH)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSound Engine: Fully analog with storeable parameters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnvelopes:    2 analog envelopes for membranes and noise that are controlled by one parameter (decay)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNoise: White Noise, Metal Noise with 65535 different noise pattern combinations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGate: Trigger gate time 0.5 - 10 ms, up to 4 times multi-trigger possible\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLFO: 8 wave forms: Saw ±, Sine ±, Tri ±, Rect ±, modulates the pitch of one or both the T-OSC, starts always synchronous to the note trigger and is pitch envelope at the same time\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDisplay:  LED 7 segment 3 digits\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMIDI: MIDI In, MIDI Out\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUser Interface: 1 data wheel, 1 potentiometer, 5 buttons, 16 LEDs for parameters and functions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutputs:  1 mono out 1\/4\" RCA jack\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutput Level: About 0dBu\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInput External: Analog trigger input, sensivity adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePower Supply: External wall wart adapter 9V DC\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.5 kg, 1.1 lb\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jomox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450125611111,"sku":"80003","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/jomox-mbrane11_80003_1_a5476728-ae2a-4bcf-9745-1f61d7bdd432.jpg?v=1787091800","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/jomox-m-brane1-1","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
