Synth modules crafted on an outlying island

Every rack should have room for a pitch follower. That’s why we designed Pitcher as a compact 2hp module. You plug in an audio signal – be it from an oscillator, an external instrument, or your voice – and Pitcher gives you three signals back:

1. V/O following the pitch of the incoming audio.
2. Another CV following the envelope and timbre of the audio. Pitcher’s envelope follower has a personality of its own: first, its internal fall time follows the pitch of the audio, to allow fast decay of high-pitched notes without making the envelopes of lower ones wobble. Second, it is tuned to give more emphasis to overtones than to the fundamental, giving a CV that is higher when the incoming sound is brighter.
3. A square or saw wave following both the envelope and the pitch of the incoming audio, with an optional offset of one or two octaves up or down. In other words: an octaver.
