Argh I wanted one of those.
ReplyDeleteI hear the Gentle Electric module is the same potted tech in the Serge pitch->cv.
I totally need one of those to open the gates to Leviathan (that plane of existence gives the best massages).

Gentle Electric was headed by Carl Frave, a really nice guy. It was pretty much the best P2V at the time. Carl was willing to let people put his technology behind their front pannels. For example, Salamander made a custom module based on the Gentle Electric Pitch to Voltage converter.
ReplyDeleteOops, I meant to type Fravel, not Frave.

ReplyDeleteBut what the hell.
Maybe next time better.
It works the best on flutes etc btw.
