SYNTHWERKS PRODUCTS IN DEVELOPMENT
These products are currently in the development stage and will be released very soon to the public. They appear on this page only after the module has been designed, PCBs have been laid out, metalwork designed - basically the trigger just hasn’t been pulled and production has not started. In most cases we are waiting for funds to buy parts or for the distributors to take advance orders to stock them. These are not vapor-ware and are very close to be hitting the shelves at your favorite synth shop.
The Synthwerks FSR-1T Force Sensing Resistor Module with Toggle Switch/Gate
The FSR-1T is a single channel FSR module, based on the FSR-1N, but has a large square Force Sensing Resistor sensor that translates the pressure the performer applies to its sensing pads into a user adjustable scaleable control voltage, and an adjustable threshold dependent gate signal. The FSR-1T also adds a section with an electronic bi-directional switch that toggles one input/output between two other inputs/outputs (A & B) or visa versa. This toggle action is driven from the standard gate out from the FSR’s gate out. An internal jumper can choose whether the switch operates in toggle (on-off-on) or momentary modes. The electronic switch is bi-directional and able to pass DC and AC voltages. The IN/OUT jack is normalize to a +V and its output at A & B in toggle mode, will act as a toggling gate at one half the frequency of the standard Gate out. LEDs indicate the active state of all gate outputs.
The FSR-1T is 10HP in width and has a MSRP of $195 (US)
