EarthQuaker Devices Rainbow Machine Polyphonic Pitch Mesmerizer - DSP Engine | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The EarthQuaker Devices Rainbow Machine Polyphonic Pitch Mesmerizer delivers real-time pitch shifting using digital oscillators and modern DSP technology for experimental sound creation. This re-imagineered pitch warping engine features extended delay time, deeper chorus tones, silent flexiswitch footswitches, and comprehensive Magic control for cosmic sound manipulation. Perfect for experimenters, adventurists, and noisemakers seeking synthetic glory and otherworldly pitch effects.
Product Overview
Welcome to the Rainbow Machine, in all its synthetic glory! This one is for experimenters, adventurists, and noisemakers. Totally not for purists and/or tone hounds. There are no "natural sounds" that come from this box. It takes modern DSP and uses it as a tool of future past to create real-time pitch shifting using digital oscillators.
The Rainbow Machine has been completely re-imagineered from the pixie dust-covered ground up to be more versatile, twice as loud as the original, with an extended delay time, deeper chorus tones, silent flexiswitch footswitches on both the Activate and Magic functions, and most of all, more Magic. The Rainbow Machine is built around a DSP pitch warping engine that's designed to be slightly imperfect; colored with digital remnants of the cosmic dust we've picked up across the multiverse.
The Pitch control adjusts the frequency of the polyphonic pitch-warped harmony from a fourth below your input, to a third above, and every atonal pitch in-between. The Secondary control adds an octave of the Primary harmony, while the Magic control creates aliasing by feeding the Primary and Secondary signals back on themselves for wild pitch take offs, chaos chorusing, shrieks, groans, gurgles, wizard-blessed wizardry, and general mayhem.
Ideal For
- Experimental musicians exploring synthetic pitch effects and digital manipulation
- Ambient and shoegaze artists creating otherworldly soundscapes and textures
- Electronic music producers seeking unique pitch-shifting and chorus effects
- Sound designers requiring controllable self-oscillation and signal transformation
- Adventurous guitarists wanting to push beyond conventional pitch effects into cosmic territory
Key Features
DSP Pitch Warping Engine
Built around a DSP pitch warping engine that's designed to be slightly imperfect; colored with digital remnants of the cosmic dust picked up across the multiverse. A cold digital beast made to pretend it has feelings for unique synthetic character.
Comprehensive Pitch Control
Pitch control adjusts the frequency of polyphonic pitch-warped harmony from a fourth below your input to a third above, and every atonal pitch in-between. Noon is the unison position, and pitch may also be controlled via expression pedal.
Magic Regeneration System
Magic control creates aliasing by feeding Primary and Secondary signals back on themselves, producing edge-of-oscillation pitch-shifting delays, chorus, metallic digi-flanging, ascending pixie trails, controllable self-oscillation, squalls of synthetic noise, whale song, and distortion.
Silent Flexiswitch Operation
Silent flexiswitch footswitches on both Activate and Magic functions allow momentary or latching operation. Hold down Magic footswitch to get weird temporarily, or press normally for sustained magical mayhem.
Re-Imagineered Performance
Completely re-imagineered to be more versatile, twice as loud as the original, with extended delay time, deeper chorus tones, and enhanced Magic capabilities for expanded sonic possibilities.
