GieskesSeagOut Hard Drive Motor Controller

Gieskes SeagOut

Spin up memorable signals with SeagOut from Gieskies, a unique module which amplifies signals from a SeaGate U series harddrive motor to generate audio and CV signals from physical movements of the motor. Featuring four outputs, SeagOut translates your flicks, turns, and wobbles of its central disc into multiple forms of useful synth signals. At the left, a softer audio signal is generated from the spinning, while another, brighter pulse waveform is available at the next jack. In addition to these audio signals, there is a gate generator which sends a trigger on each direction change of the disc, and a CV output for bipolar envelopes, with polarity dependent on spinning direction.

Hard drives are useful tools for any modern creative, and SeagOut from Gieskies offers a radical expansion of this common sense axiom, spinning sounds and CV in style for a unique modular synth control source you won't soon forget.
