the prsspnt music synthesizer module is a controller in which several signals are generated by touching the printed copper wire at the bottom of the instrument. touching prsspnt, you become part of the circuit, generating a total of four simultaneous signals
(two cv, two gate).
the basic function of prsspnt will be familiar to anyone who has used pressure points or 0-ctrl. it could be seen as a single "souped-up" channel of one of these devices. since it is a single channel, the tuned voltage outputs are not relevant, and instead are
replaced with more playable sensitivity controls and alternate pressure and gate outputs.
features:
momentary gate output remains high as long as it is being pressed
toggled gate output goes high and low with each successive press of the plate: press it to make it go high, press it again to make it go low
pressure output generates a positive control signal proportional to the amount of pressure applied, further tailored by the sensitivity panel control
smooth touch function recreates the useful patch of sending a pressure output through a carefully tuned slew limiter for extended function generation
turning up the slew amount will allow for larger than life functions with very long decay to be generated by hand.
all four outputs available simultaneously
