2hp Blur Spectral Processor

2hp-Blur-Spectral-Processor-PRODUCT

Specifications

  • Width: 2HP
  • Depth: 46mm
  • Power Consumption: +12V=85mA, -12V=7mA, +5V=0mA

Product Usage Instructions

  • Time Control:
    • The Time control adjusts the amount of spectral time stretching applied to the audio signal.
    • When fully to the left, the playback is quick. When fully to the right, the audio is stretched out x16 the original speed. Center position matches the original playback speed.
  • Mix Control:
    • The Mix control blends between the dry and wet signals. The dry signal is to the left, and the wet signal is to the right.
  • Vibe Control:
    • The Vibe control adjusts the frequency spread of the incoming signal. Turning it fully to the left closely matches the timbre of the input, while turning it to the right creates a reverb-like pad effect.

Module Installation

  • To install your 2hp module, locate a space with the appropriate HP in your rack for instal-lation.
  • Next, connect the module’s power cable to your power supply. The cables on this end are keyed, though you should make sure to align the red stripes on both connectors to ensure safe and proper connection.
  • Our illustration uses a flying bus cable, though the same action applies to busboards/alternate power solutions.

See the figure below for reference:2hp-Blur-Spectral-Processor-FIG-3

  • Next, make sure your module’s power cable is properly connected to your module. For 2hp modules, confirm that your cable’s red stripe aligns with the white marker line on the module’s PCB, just above the power header.
  • You may notice that even though there is only 1 row of 5 pins on your 2hp module, but 2 rows on the power cable.
  • You can use either row of 5-pin connectors on the cable with your module, so long as the red stripe is properly aligned.

Module Pairings

  • Blur is an incredible sound design effect that perfectly fits in any part of the signal path.
  • Here are a few recommendations to elevate your spectral experience!

PluckPluck

  • Pluck is a great candidate for grabbing sharp transients and intriguing harmonics and blurring them into a wash of sonic ambience!2hp-Blur-Spectral-Processor-FIG-5

VerbVerb

  • Want to make your spectral time stretch even bigger? Throw a Verb on it!
  • And since Verb is a stereo effect, it makes all the more sense to place 2 Blurs before it (or after!).2hp-Blur-Spectral-Processor-FIG-6

SwarmSwarm

  • Massive hyper-saws and pulsewave oscillators are the perfect playground for Blur to smear. Synth pads are about to get a whole lot more lush.2hp-Blur-Spectral-Processor-FIG-7

PitchPitch

  • Pitch shift your blurred spectral signal! It’s a no-brainer to turn any audio source into a v/oct tracking bed of sound.2hp-Blur-Spectral-Processor-FIG-8

FAQs

Can Blur be used in stereo effects setups?

Yes, Blur can be used in stereo effects setups by placing 2 Blur modules before or after a stereo effect module like Verb for enhanced spectral effects.

What are some recommended pairings for Blur?

Some recommended pairings for Blur include Pluck for sharp transients and harmonics, Swarm for massive hyper-saws, and Pitch Bitcrush for pitch-shifting blurred spectral signals.
