POM-400 is a home-build analogue synthesizer with 3 oscillators, noise, random generator, 2 envelopes, 2 VCA’s, LFO, filter, mixer, speakerbox, power pack and a 1-16 step sequencer. A Complete kit with powder-coated chassis, 16 modules, 15 patch cables, screwdriver, and an illustrated build guide.
Each kit comes with all of the parts needed to build the project. Included in these flat packed synthesizers are everything from a powder coated aluminium chassis to an illustrated build guide with instructions and bend angles. When bending is complete, move on to mount the modules, snap the wire connectors and finalise your build with knobs and rubber feet. Remember, think twice and double-check the angles before bending.
MEET THE MODULES
M-1 square square oscillator Rich in odd harmonics, the square wave oscillator is great for hollow basses and screaming leads. The pulse width modulation (pwm) input makes it possible to generate a faux two oscillator detune sound.
M-2 saw sawtooth oscillator Containing both the odd and even harmonics, the sawtooth is great for string types of sound. The linear frequency modulation input (fm) easily brings you into the sci-fi domain.
M-3 sine sine oscillator With no overtones the pure sine wave is a jack of all trades. From pure bass to dub sirens, it's the army knife of a modular system. The linear frequency modulation input (fm) easily brings you into the sci-fi domain.
M-4 filter low pass filter Shape your sound with the 24db/oct low pass filter. Get lost in space while tweaking the resonance and frequency pots.
M-5 env envelope A classic. Attack, decay, sustain and release. Give your sonic creation the contour it deserves. Triggered by any signal that crosses the two volt threshold.
M-6 vca voltage control amplifier Automate your volume! Feed it control voltage and your signal will adapt accordingly. Best friends with the envelope for classic configurations, and your oscillator in wired configurations
M-7 mixer 3-channel mixer A necessity in all modular systems. Three inputs, one output, with volume control over both the individual inputs as well as the master output.
M-8 noise 2 x noise The white noise contains noise equal over the whole spectrum. The saw output is a perfect companion for the sample and hold.
M-9 rand Randomise your music with the sample and hold. Any input is sampled and then presented at the outputs. Rate can be controlled both externally and internally, but always needs an external signal to sample. Experiment with both receptive and random sources as the sample input.
M-10 lfo low frequency oscillator Generating both square as well as triangle waves, the low frequency oscillator is the perfect tool to spice up your patches. Great in everything from automated filter sweeps to syncing the clocks.
M-11 speaker amplifier+speaker bellow Cables goes in, sounds come out. Show off your amazing patch to the rest of the world. Let them hear it. Warning: never connect headphones directly to the outputs! You can damage your ears and your headphones.
M-12 sequencer 16-step sequencer Sixteen steps of control. Override the internal clock with the clock input. Send clock out or PO Sync out. Make it go backwards with the arrow input. Jump to the first step, the second, fourth or eight step with the reset and binary.
Note: There is no power supply included. If you want to run the units on wall power you need an adapter with the following specifications (sold separately):
AC/DC adapter 12V, min 1A (12 watt) Polarity: center negative Plug: 4.75/1.7mm Warning: Make sure to remove the batteries from the battery holder before connecting the DC-plug to the external AC/DC adapter.
Use separate battery charger to charge re-chargeable batteries.
