LE BINÔME

SPACIAL CREATIVE PERCUSSIVE MACHINE

BINOME has a single, unique goal: to push its owner's creativity into unconventional territories through straightforward functions! !

BINOME's main function is to create percussive sounds, with the internal oscillator or by using external sound or a noise source like BOUCAN and shaping it with the EQ and filter.

It can also be used as a dual dynamic AD or ASR envelope generator, with special custom shapes that can be changed from exponential to logarithmic and with voltage control over the amplitude ( LEVEL ) and its length ( DECAY ).

The main input is connected to the EQ and the filter, then splits in 2 signals represented by channel A and B.

The filter is a strange one, let’s say that it acts more as a resonator than a classic filter. It will color and give the missing natural ringing to your drums when the resonance is lifted! You can choose between 2 modes: Highpass and Bandpass.

As it can auto oscillate, you can use it as a VCO, or as a fundamental sound source to make bass drums, toms or FM percussions, oh ohhh and you can add one more external sound source per channel as they both have their own input.

Indeed, both channels are totally independent with their own post filter input and controls, they can interact dynamically by using the center switch to CHOKE or FADE channel A with channel B.

With the odd configuration that LE BINOME offers, you can achieve some really interesting spattial results, like turning any mono VCO into a full stereo synth voice, rotating its sounds by using modulation from PARESSEUX or any cohesive or chaotic CV on DECAY and LEVEL of both channels. Same technique works with any audio signal, for example, in a stereo topology, LEVEL can also be seen as a panning function…these are just examples, there are so many possibilities in a yet straightforward and versatile interface that encourages exploration and experimentation…you will always find something new to do !

Creativity has no limits, LE BINOME has a lot to offer in any kind of situation and not only when it’s about percussion!
