Zebra Synth has announced the Z506 Swiss Daisy DSP Module, a new multifunction DSP module for MU modular synthesizers, based on the Electro-Synth Daisy platform.
The Daisy is capable of the following functions simultaneously, in a single width module:
- Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA)
- ADSR Envelope Generator (with additional AR generator output).
- One of the following additional modes:
- Voltage Controlled Oscillator with multiple waveforms/modes.
- Voltage Control Filter – 24dB/Octave Ladder Filter
- 2 Second Digital Delay with voltage controlled delay time modulation.
- Digital Reverb with 12dB/Octave High Pass filter, 12 dB/Octave Low Pass filter (damping) and VC “size” modulation.
- Dual Resonant 6 dB/Octave bandpass filter with variable resonance and wet/dry mix as well as VC modulation of the first resonant filter center frequency.
Here’s the first demo of their prototype module:
Pricing and Availability
The Z506 Swiss Daisy DSP Module is currently under development. It is expected to be available in October 2020, priced at $325 USD.
What does it have to do with a “Swiss Daisy”?
The name did redden my cheeks a bit.
Electro-Synth Daisy + Swiss Army knife(muti-function) = Swiss Daisy?
I’ll bet “Daisy” has something to do with a certain AI from a classic late 60’s science fiction movie…
