The Octa-hedra is a custom synth by Ben Houston. This piece is part of a folktek series entitled "philanthropoid"". Also in the series on the site is the Mantis, dronescape sequencer, the moth, the growling insect, the bug, walking stick, pendulum translator and others. The sound is phenomenol and continues to amaze us. It is a sonic symphony of nasty and grimy sweetness, endless layers of sound possibilities emenating from High quality OSC originally based on high tech speech synthesis. Seemingly random bits can be rediscovered time and time again and then there are those moments that you will most likely never rediscover. This piece WILL provide sounds that you will not find in other synthesizers and will astonish you every time you turn it on.
This particular piece features four patchable knobs, two with common center points and a ten point patchbay. This allows you to determine function and provides tons of flexibility. In addition, There's are two more knobs (global control and power kill), glowing eyeball power indicator lamp, string button/switch, activate and freeze mode sections, reset, 1/4" output, built in battery pack, basic manual of function and layout. You'll be able to cipher through waveform and textures with extreme sensitivity in thousands of ways. Waveforms (individual, or multiple layers) can be captured and maintained, often intermodulating in beautiful and/or disturbing ways. Albums are waiting to be created here as the sound is quite different from anything else you'll find.. Super sensitive knobs let you filter through tons of sounds and glitchscapes.
Constructed in a sturdy custom made hardwood case Custom made internal battery pack, runs on 4 "AA"s.
