Gamechanger Audio PLASMA Voice Synthesizer Eurorack Module

Step into the electrifying world of sonic experimentation with the Gamechanger Audio PLASMA Voice, the latest addition to the acclaimed PLASMA product line. This monophonic Eurorack synthesizer module breaks away from the norm by harnessing high-voltage electrical discharges in a custom xenon-filled gas tube to craft a captivating range of sounds, materialising as a striking blue electrical arc that adds vitality to your musical creations.

At the core of the PLASMA Voice is a proprietary ultrasound pulse-width oscillator, the driving force behind these mesmerising electric discharges. Yet, what truly sets this module apart is its remarkable ability to shape and mould these discharges, crafting an enchanting soundscape. The key lies in exploring predefined samples and envelope shapes, lovingly referred to as "SOUNDS." You have the power to select, trigger, fine-tune, and modulate these SOUNDS using sliders and CV inputs, granting you complete control over your audio sculpting.

The PLASMA Voice boasts a meticulously curated collection of SOUNDS, meticulously organised into BANKS designed for various musical facets. While these categories offer guidance, they need not confine your creative endeavours. The parameter sliders provide an extensive range of control over the PLASMA engine, empowering you to venture into uncharted sonic territories and explore exceptional and unconventional sounds. This is where your artistic journey takes flight.

What makes the PLASMA Voice stand out from its predecessors within the PLASMA product line is its self-sufficiency. In contrast to prior products, which primarily focused on distortion, the PLASMA Voice stands as a self-contained voice in its own right. By fully unlocking the potential of modulating the tube's driver, the need for an external sound source becomes obsolete. It emerges as an all-encompassing creative powerhouse, primed to unleash your unique sonic visions.

Prepare to infuse your music with the raw power of high-voltage discharges and dive into a world of limitless sound possibilities. The PLASMA Voice is here to electrify your musical journey and push the boundaries of your sonic artistry. Join us on this electrifying adventure and watch your creativity soar to unprecedented heights.
