It's a palette for playing with sound, sketching melodic sections and building evolving tapestries. It moves between cinematic washes, percussive pizzicatos, and atmospheres worn smooth through ambient processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eInspired by live modular techniques, Etches is built upon classic synthesis and tape music traditions. Etches’s main engine includes a complex oscillator, a splice recorder and built in space processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe designed Etches to be performed. Every control is on the surface, and every gesture is audible the moment you make it. There are no traditional envelopes or filters here. You shape the timbre as you play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePick a root note and choose from twelve scales and modes and the pads stay locked to that key while you move. It's hard to play a wrong note, which means you can focus on phrasing instead of finger positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the center is a monophonic voice generator and a splice recorder with overdub, so you can layer sounds into something bigger than individual patches. An internal LFO moves against each splice, modulating where the recording starts and ends. It's a behavior we first used in our LAPS and JOTS pedals. Around all of that: a tape-style delay, and a stereo space processor you can get lost in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEtches Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Four articulation pads that control contour, timbre-shaping and animation\u003cbr\u003e• Musical overdrive with soft clipping\u003cbr\u003e• 80-second multi-splice recorder for capturing ideas and layering sounds\u003cbr\u003e• Stereo space processor with tape-style delay and a pristine reverb.\u003cbr\u003e• Stereo output\u003cbr\u003e• Runs on a standard Boss-style 9V power supply\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the Etches user manual for in depth details, sound design tips and more:\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/ec2.puremagnetik.com\/Etches_User_Manual_v1_0_1.pdf\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDownload the Etches User Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1.5px solid #333; padding: 18px 22px; margin: 28px 0; font-size: 0.92em; line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 10px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt in the open.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eEtches is two PCBs joined by standoffs.
