Description

The Mig Thruster is a difficult one to describe. It’s a noise source… but a very noisy noise source? Does that make sense? No? At the center of this module is a vacuum tube oscillator that is designed to be so unstable that the harmonic output is converted into chaotic noise. That chaotic noise can be surprisingly subtle or melt paint off the walls. The range of sounds that this module can produce are incredibly wide ranging. Paired with the right cv generation it can be an entire drum kit, it can be bitcrushed Nintendo sounds, and it can just be “noise” to mix in with your traditional 2 osc synth setup. Everything between and a whole lot more.
Give the demos a listen.
