SOUNDWICH //
Soundwich is a device based on the sound of tact switches, hardware and PCB material. In part it’s a compact and sturdy form factor for interaction with piezo experimentation. The piezo disks are directly mounted to the undersides of the top and bottom PCBs creating a direct connection to the sounds of the tact switches. The two 3.5mm jacks can be used as either ins or outs. One is a momentary out and one is always on. The momentary output allows you to hear only the depressed click sound of the tact switches while the always on output allows you to hear both the depress and release of the tact switches amplified by the two piezos. When you shake the Soundwich you will hear the sound of six washers sliding along machine screws and colliding against the two piezo pickups. Using momentary out while shaking will only allow that sound to escape when disks are compressed. Compressing along the edges will provide different filtering amounts depending on where you press [the 7 stacked lines indicate greatest amount of filtering/attenuation with less and less filtering as your travel counterclockwise till there is nearly zero]. Routing audio or CV through provides a fast and tactile handheld momentary on device.
1 a simple passive piezo, tact switch and hardware based sound device which can expel audio or accept it
2 a piezo pickup with a constant output
3 a piezo pickup with a momentary output when disks are depressed in center point
4 a piezo pickup with momentary out through 8 different filter amounts when depressing disks along edges (volume is also attenuated)
5 an exciter for resonators and effects
6 a shaker using internal washers to strike the top and bottom piezos
7 a shaker with momentary out through 8 different RC filter amounts
8 a lo-fi vocal mic when pressed directly against the lips (and/or momentary on when using momentary jack)
9 a very quiet lo-fi speaker
10 a tactile momentary on switch when routing audio through it (in one direction)
11 a momentary on w/ lowpass filtering and volume attenuation when routing audio through (the reverse direction)
12 a momentary on plus attenuation of modular signal when routing through the RC filter
13 a shaker and clicky trigger source for some modular synthesizer modules without needing an extra boost to modular levels
14 When boosted to modular levels, clicks and/or shakes can be used to advance a sequencer for example
15 When placed on a hard surface each side can create different rhythm sounds when tapped

Shipping methods
All EU orders are shipped via UPS. We offer two service levels:
- UPS Standard – our default shipping option. Delivery times vary by country (see estimated delivery times below).
- UPS Express Saver – next business day delivery to most EU destinations.
Each product page shows the estimated delivery time for your location, so you'll always know what to expect before you order.
Estimated delivery times (Standard shipping)
The times below are estimates in working days from dispatch, based on UPS Standard service. Express Saver delivers by the next business day to most destinations.

| Sweden | 3–5 |
These times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Delivery may occasionally take a little longer due to customs processing, local conditions, or carrier delays.
Dispatch times
Orders placed before 15:00 CET (Central European Time) on a working day are normally dispatched the same day. Orders placed after 15:00 CET, or on weekends and public holidays, will be dispatched on the next working day.
If you have an urgent order, please email us at info@signalsounds.eu before placing your order and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch at info@signalsounds.eu if you have questions.
