New Tube Filterbank from Metasonix

October 21, 2000

The TS-22 is another unique and distinctive all-tube electronic music product from Metasonix. It consists of four bandpass filters, wired in parallel and driven by a special optocircuit, so that they will sweep simultaneously.

The filters sweep a one-octave range, and are offset from each other by one octave, starting at A=55 Hz. Unlike any filter on the current market, each filter in the TS-22 has its individual tune knob - each calibrated in equally-tempered intervals, from A to A. Each filter also has its individual RESONANCE control, to allow disabling each filter or cranking it up to oscillation. And the final output tube is usable as a VCA, optionally.

By using the TS-22 with the TS-21 and (soon to come) TS-23, it's possible to build a complete synthesizer voice, of great complexity and all-tube construction. Insuring a totally different sound from what you've experienced before.

Applications:

Perfect for subtle effects or for gross mangling of any signal: guitar, synth, vocals, etc.
sound design in a recording setting
studio effects
big, big sound!

Size: 19" EIA rackmount cabinet, 2U height.

Oonly readily-available tubes in Metasonix products. The TS-21 is hand-made and hand-wired, point to point style, in the USA.
