Analogue Solutions | Black Coffee (Phobos)

Description

The Black Coffee system is a small monosynth. Through the use of routing through 6 switches and 10 pots, an wide variety of sounds can be produced. 

MIDI allows you to play the black coffee from a MIDI keyboard or sequencer. MIDI channel can be selected and you get control of pitch, gate (note on/off), filter cut-off control (via MIDI controller 1/mod wheel), TB303 style `Slide' on/off (activated by overlapping notes) and Accent on/off (a velocity of over 64 will briefly increase the filter cut-off).

There are three parts to this system: the actual black coffee module, the case (part number AS0018) and the MIDI to CV converter (MCV). All 3 parts together are called the black coffee system. Parts can be bought separately to allow choice of units you need for your requirement.

The black coffee module will fit into a Concussor, Integrator and A100 modular system rack so can be integrated and used with a modular synth system. When housed in the AS0018 case, it becomes a totally self-contained analogue monosynth. Add the MCV it now becomes a MIDI analogue synth!

The black coffee uses true analogue voice circuitry for a fat and warm sound. By switching the VCA to `THRU' the unit can be used as a versatile analogue effects unit for guitarist and vocalists.

Velocity As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. Aftertouch Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel.
Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise.
