Shaped Noise Percussion Synthesizer Kit

US Rakit's Metal pocket-sized percussion synth features a modified Polivoks filter 13/11/18

Rakit has released Metal, which they describe as a pocket-sized percussion synth inspired by metallic noise generators of the past. They tell us that Three sound modes are fed through a modified Polivoks filter to deliver razor-edged sounds and lazer-guided oscillations - triggered by hand or external CV.

A spokesperson said, "The Rakit Metal synth has a built-in VCA to shape the contour of the sound, fed through an adjustable sweep function to give rise to twisted shimmers, pitched-up drones, and chunky electro chops. The multi-mode filter has band pass and low pass settings, with controllable filter cutoff and enough Resonance to self-oscillate into oblivion. Ideal for hats, toms, kicks, bleeps, and sweeps! It comes with a trigger input for live sequencing, CV control over cutoff frequency and an audio input to forge new sounds through its circuitry."

Metal will be available in DIY kit form and as a completed unit.
