Description
Oradea [ˌɔraˈdɛa] is a quadruple voltage controlled analog resonator. You can use it to enhance external audio or to generate tones. It can mimic the resonant characteristics of physical objects or spaces. Oradea’s frequency response can be tuned over the entire range of audible frequencies with V/oct response. The module offers precise control over the resonance of each band up to extremely high values with long response to pinging. Oradea is additionaly equipped with four individual trigger inputs for exciting its filters with internally generated, uniform, and finely tuned impulses.
Individual outputs allow you to externally process each band separately. Resonant frequency gain compensation prevents uncontrolled distortion (the gain at peak does not increase with resonance). There is a VCA and a polarity switch in each channel, so you can remotely shape the overall amplitude and manually change the phase response.
Features
- Four independently adjustable bands
- Manual and voltage control over tuning frequency, resonance, and level
- Joint and individual CV inputs with calibrated V/oct tracking
- Dedicated trigger inputs for exciting individual channels
- Individual outputs and mixed output
- Signal polarity switchable for each channel
- Signal level indicators with multi-color LEDs
Technical details
- Eurorack synth compatible
- 20hp, 40mm deep (incl. ribbon bracket)
- Current draw: +210mA / -190mA
- Reverse power protection
Expandability
Expandable with Arad Resonator Commander, offering three additional features. It has direct audio inputs for individual channels. There are manual buttons and gate inputs for clickless muting and unmuting of the channels. Another group of four buttons acts in parallel to the excite inputs of Oradea, allowing for manual triggering.
