Hover Beam Controller (Desktop)

Archaea Modular Hover

The Hover controller from Archea Modular is a standalone CV beam controller that lets you use the air as an extra control surface for your modular synth. Wildly flail, or subtly oscillate, to affect change in modulation and an added Looper mode lets you record and loop back even your wildest gesticulations. A CV output can be configured to run at any range from 0–10V while a multi-purpose Gate I/O jack can be used as a trigger to the Hover, or to send out to other devices. A simple, intuitive interface lets you adjust the button mode between Toggle, Hold, Zero, Sample, and Loop options, which lets you dynamically start, stop, freeze, or loop the value of the output. Archaea's Hover controller is truly one of the best iterations of the Beam controller: pick one up to try for yourself.

Hover Features

• Standalone CV beam controller
• Sensor Range: 0-300mm
• Output Types: CV output (0-10V) and Gate output (0/5V)
• Looper Function: Allows you to record and loop hand movements to create LFO-type signals up to 6.5 minutes long
• Includes toggle, hold, zero, sample, and loop modes to modify how the output behaves
• Both the CV and gate outputs can be inverted independently, and the gate output has a configurable threshold (0-100%)
• The gate can be configured as an input to trigger the button function or restart the loop from external sources like a sequencer
• Housed in a metal stompbox enclosure as a standalone desktop unit
