Direct-Drive Tape Flywheel Synthesizer

The Mechanics:

A 24HP Eurorack percussion and bass synthesizer module built around a high-inertia machined brass flywheel driven by a coreless DC motor. The flywheel physically governs the clock jitter, micro-timing swing, and pitch wobble of an onboard dual-voice analog wavetable oscillator.

Integrated arcade-grade tactile microswitch pads provide zero-latency finger drumming with mechanical tactile clicks. Velocity cv dynamically applies magnetic eddy-current braking to the flywheel, imparting visceral physical groove swing that mirrors human drummer micro-variations.

Utilitarian Value:

Brings visceral physical momentum and un-quantized groove dynamics to modular hip-hop production and live boom-bap performance.

Target Ecosystem:

Modular beatmakers, Eurorack hip-hop producers, live finger drummers, boutique hardware studios.
