Dave Smith Instruments DSM02 Character Module

Rack-mountable digital effects module for modular synthesizers that is a sound designer's tool kit of five unique digital effects for shaping, twisting, and mangling sound in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. These effects, Girth, Air, Decimate, Hack, and Drive form the Character section of DSI's acclaimed Prophet 12 and Pro 2 synthesizers and contribute to their distinctive tone in a big way. "Girth" provides low-frequency harmonic enhancement for adding weight and density; "Air" provides high-frequency harmonic enhancement for adding definition and presence; "Decimate" performs sample rate reduction for adding lo-fi grunge; "Hack" is a bit crusher capable of trashing an otherwise clean signal nearly beyond recognition; and "Drive" adds overdrive and saturation, with warmth at one end of the knob and harmonic overload at the other. This module provides interconnections made using 3.5 mm phone jacks, including two independent audio inputs and two independent audio outputs with shared control allow mono or stereo operation. A 24-bit, 96 kHz resolution digital signal path provides uncompromising signal fidelity. Mounting screws and ribbon cable for power connection are included. Dimensions: 70.8 x 128.5 x 30.1 mm. Width: 14 HP.
