PLASMA Voice is a synthesizer module that produces sounds by controlling 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 mesmerizing electric sounds that match the visual intensity of the blue bolt of electricity.
The electric discharges are driven by a proprietary ultrasound pulse-width oscillator. 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. This puts you in control of the electrical discharges and the resulting sounds.
Even though the selectable SOUNDS are organized into BANKS dedicated to specific musical parts, you can transform each one of them beyond the intended use. We invite you to explore the sonic possibilities both wonderful and strange.
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.
