Technomage LIFE 2


"L2 will be available in several formats. It will follow the concept of the first incarnation of LIFE in the form of a hand held device. There have been several requests for a rack mount version (to be compatible with the modular synthesiser systems available from other manufacturers). We hope to make this version available as well. Versions of L2 (as pictured on the left) have been undergoing field trials. Feedback has been very positive and comments received are being used to finalise the design. Further details of the control surface on L2 are listed below. Please note that the control knobs and surface finish of the production version of L2 will differ to those shown in this image.

Rotary Controls:
Clock Speed - LFO Speed - LFO (positive or negative) to VCO - VCO Manual Frequency - LFO (positive or negative) to VCF - VCF Manual - Frequency - VCF Resonance 'Q'- EG (positive or negative) to VCF - EG Decay - EG to VCA - Combined Drone and Power Switch.
