Coming later this year from OTO Machines, the makers of Biscuit, the Bim Bam Boum Effects Boxes:

"OTO Machines announces 3 new FX boxes:

BIM - Poetic Repeater

12-bit delay (up to 2 seconds in stereo) with modulation (several waveforms available), separate hipass & lowpass filters for the delay signal and the feedback path, extra FXs (Reverse, Flanger, Dual Head, Distortion,...).

True 12-bit converters, filters, compander & feedback paths are analog for a very warm and grainy sound.

TAP and FREEZE function. Delay can be synced to MIDI Clock.

BAM - Space Generator

Digital reverberator inspired by the early 80's 16-bit units (EMT250, Lexicon 224,...). Several algorithms including Halls, Rooms, Space, weirdos, springs, resonators...

Predelay is up to 1 second. A "Drive" pot let you distort the input of the reverb.

BOUM - Warming Unit

Analog Compressor with tube emulation, octave, soft and hard distortion, followed by a 3 mode-2 pole Biscuit filter.

The compressor have Mode, Attack and Release settings.

An envelope generator (normal or inverse) let's you create envelope filters or envelope levelers.

The distortion circuit is specially designed for synths, loops, drums,...and keeps the dynamic of the signal.

All units have stereo I/O, MIDI input (CCs for all parameters, Beat Clock, Pgm Change), true hardware relay bypass, 36 user presets.

Size is 145 x 145 x 60 mm. 2 lines of 8 white LEDS for displaying parameters, preset number, input vu-meter...

DER OTO

As you probably know, OTO updated the Biscuit recently from being an amazing 8bit distortion and effects device to also include a digital monosynth and 16 track sequencer with a firmware update available for free to existing owners. Here's one of the first videos I've seen of the new functions by duncanperson:


"Demo featuring the new OTO machines Biscuit update: DER OTO, and a bit of reverb and delay from the space echo. A really nice sounding digital synthesizer with the analogue filter on the back end! All sequencing done within the biscuit itself. This video also shows the new vinyl overlay for DER OTO - go buy one to support this amazing FREE update from oto machines." -duncanperson
