ADDAC310

This module expands our line of expressive controls, it follows the heritage of wind/breath controllers with one major diference: the pipe has no air escape creating pressure inside the tube controlled by the user’s mouth. For a seasoned woodwind or brass musician this working principle may sound unorthodox, however this way pressure can be controlled for longer without the need to breath in or learning circular breathing techniques. It’s relatively easy to control the pressure in your mouth while still breathing through the nose.

The module is provided with a standard melodica pipe which connects to an air filter (providing a receptacle for condensation to form and isolate the sensor) and lastly connects to the module frontpanel.

The signal captured by the sensor is then sent to two independent sections with exactly the same functions as seen in the signal flow diagram below.

As an example the two sections can be used with diferent settings to independently control the VCA and VCF of any standard analog voice patch.

PIPE
We’re using a standard Melodica pipe into an air filter that will keep condensation away from the sensor. The air filter is then connected to the frontpanel sensor input using a silicone tube.

SENSOR CALIBRATION
[RESPONSE] is the main control to calibrate the pressure curve, the knob goes from exponential to logarithmic with linear at 12 o’clock. Exponential will be more reactive to high pressures, logarithmic to lower pressures.

HOLD FUNCTION
This feature allows to hold the current voltage value with the hold is engaged (button led on), the state can be changed either by the push button in a latching manner (push to change state) or via the gate input in a momentary manner (hold on while gate is on)

EXTRA PIPE
Extra Pipes are available for 15€

In case you're wondering: Sure! We can get you a custom coloured front panel for the ADDAC310.
It has an additional cost and takes 4 to 6 weeks to be ready.

It can be done in either Red, Green, Blue, White, Silver Gray, Yellow, or Gold.

Please note: we don’t stock custom coloured panels. For every custom order we need to make a single panel order from our panel provider. This explains the panel price and lead time.

Thanks for your interest in the ADDAC310!
