We say...

Kyle uses one of these in his system and he says it's the most expressive module he owns. It is insanely deep (97mm!) though, so please do check the depth of your case!

Manufacturer's description

Three axis performance controller with three metre retractable string.

The joystick has CV outputs for up/down and left/right, and pulling the ring varies the third CV output.

This module works well as a pair - six axes of control for two hands!

Overview

There have been a couple of these in the Nervous Squirrel 5U modular for a number of years. Always popular at parties! Patch the CV outputs to something interesting, then hand the strings to friends to explore.

Different sounds are created depending on the position of the end of the string in 3D space.

After receiving a few requests for a eurorack version, this batch was put together.

Note that by necessity the module has a depth of 97mm - please measure your case before ordering.

Features and controls

X, Y & Z RANGE: Sets the output voltage range for each axis.

X, Y & Z OFFSET: Sets the starting point for the voltage range of each axis.

X, Y & Z CONTROL: Move the joystick and pull the string to change the output voltages.

X, Y & Z INVERT: Reverses the response of each axis (direction to increase voltage becomes direction to decrease).

OUTPUTS: 3 no. CV outputs

Technical details

Width: 14HP

Depth: 97mm behind 2mm thick panel. Please check your case depth before ordering.

Current @ +12V: 22mA

Current @ -12V: 20mA

Output level: -3.3V to +10.6V depending on range and offset settings.

String length: Approximately 3m

String pull force: Around 1N to start pulling the string, 2.5N near the end of the reel.

The string doesn't require a great deal of force to pull, but make sure your modular system is suitably anchored.

  • Width: 14HP
  • Depth: 97mm
  • Power: 22 mA +12V / 20 mA -12V / 0 mA 5V

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.
