Modular synthesizer enthusiasts looking for a monster distortion unit will be impressed with the erica synths Plasma Drive, a high-voltage distortion Eurorack module with a unique distortion / signal-clipping flavor. Developed in collaboration with Gamechanger Audio, the Plasma Drive boosts your audio signal to 3000V and transforms it into a series of continuous high-voltage discharges in a Xenon-filled tube. The signal is then converted back to an analog audio signal, producing a quick, responsive, and heavy distortion with tons of character.

The Plasma Drive provides CV control over distortion levels and the dry/wet mix, and gives you oscillators that track one octave up, and one and two octaves down, adding even more harmonics to the original signal. Tracking oscillators can be switched on/off manually or via trigger signals. The module includes a power ribbon cable and a set of mounting screws.

Unique Distortion / Signal Clipping    High-Voltage Xenon-Filled Tube    CV Control: Distortion and Dry/Wet Mix    Assignable EQ (Pre or Post Effect)    1 Octave Up Tracking Oscillator    1 and 2 Octave Down Tracking Oscillator    Module Depth: 1.8" (45mm)    Includes Power Ribbon & Mounting Screws

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this work on the L-558 meter?

A: No, the Sekonic RT-GX Godox Transmitter Module will only work with the following models. Lowepro DP Kit Sekonic Speedmaster L-858D-U

Q: 2. will this attach and work on either side meaning both the right and the left sides of the DJI RS2?

A: Yes, it can be mounted to either side of the RS2.

Q: 3. Before I buy this, I need to know if this will work with the Sekonic L-358? I see someone said yes, but when I did a search online everything I'm seeing it only works with the L858D-U.

A: No, The following unit is designed and made for the speedmaster L-858D-U Light Meter. Not the L-358.

Q: 4. Does this unit provide connection to Broncolor Grafit & Verso power packs equipped with original RFS system?

A: I contacted Sekonic concerning your inquiry. According to Sekonic, the original RFS receiver found in the older packs such as the older Broncolor Grafit A4 RFS Power Pack and the Broncolor Verso A2 RFS Power Pack work on 900 Hz radio frequency. The new transmitters/receivers which are found in the newer kits work on RFS 2/2.1/2.2, which use the 2.4 GHz radio frequency. As such, the newer radios cannot directly communicate with the older wireless radio system, and the Sekonic RT-BR Broncolor Transmitter Module would not talk to the power packs you own. As a work-around, you may purchase a Broncolor RFS 2 Receiver, B&H # BRRFS2R, and connect it to the sync terminal on your older power packs. While you will not have power control capability, you will be able to trigger the older power packs from a Sekonic meter with the installed RT-BR Broncolor transmitter module.

Q: 5. The Specifications says the interior dimensions are 43.18 x 27.94 x 5.08cm. My 17.3 laptop measures 42cmx28cmx2.5cm. So in principle my laptop should still fit into this however, ion the description it says it fits up to 15 . Has anybody tried fitting a 17.3 laptop into this case?

A: I would trust PortaBrace on this. It might be a very tight fit in the width. you will need to try it for yourself. it may become very difficult to insert and withdraw the computer.

Q: 6. What comes in the box for the Zacuto Tornado Grip for Z-Drive? If I purchase the Zacuto C100 EVF Recoil will I be able to attach the Tornado to it or will I have to purchase a bunch of other items?

A: What you see is what you get. You'll need the z-drive and 15mm rails to mount that to. Z-drive is good...tornado grip is not necessary. You'll also need focus gear rings if you're using dslr glass.

Q: 7. Will this trigger a Canon ST-E3-RT?

A: Unfortunately, it will not. This is for the Godox X wireless radio system.

Q: 8. is this drive the same one used in the AJA Ki Pro Recorder or do they use different drives?

A: They may be different ..with other models

Q: 9. The included Edelkrone focus ring adapters bump into the module during calibration. If I were to put something like a Tilta Follow Gear Ring adapter around a Canon EF lens, what would happen during the Edelkrone's app calibration? Would the lens spin forever because there are no hard stops? Or would it find it.

A: Typically during the calibration process you would be able to stop the rotation at the lens's focus end points and the motors will digitally mark the end points, knowing the min and max focus throw.

Q: 10. does the focus module fit with with Pan + Tilt (Dual HeadONE)?

A: The HeadONE is not listed under compatible products. This focus module is compatible with the HeadPLUS and the HeadPLUS PRO.

[7 x 4.3 x 3.7"] The Novation Circuit Tracks is by far the greatest groovebox ever built. I bought the original Circuit the week it came out in 2015, fell in love instantly, and over the years trained myself to sequence better parts. The Circuit Tracks is a fantastic follow up with two additional MIDI lanes, newly added scene functionality, and an expanded sequencer featuring step duration for each individual pattern. The sound engine appears the same as on the original Circuit but the original Circuit had a bit of digital hum to it and that has completely been removed. The delay and reverb effects are quite useful at low settings for creating ambience and at longer settings quite useful at creating washes of sound. All the knobs make real-time tweaking a joy and all the macro knobs can be recorded in your sequences for looped use. The Novation Components editor is quite good for patch design and as a librarian for backing up your sessions. I wasn't able to use my microSD card with this, as it wouldn't usually stay in and, when I did get it in, it would not copy my entire session to a new session slot. I do think this was a defect of my unit and not a consistent hardware error. This thing is great for the studio and perfect for DAWless jams but my dream is to really get nitty gritty with it and tour with it. I believe that's what Novation would want.

[16 HP] I already had a virtual Moog from Arturia Software, but it's great to have physical knobs to twiddle!

[20 V p-p ] I own a LOT of saturation plugins. They all serve a purpose but FabFilter's Saturn takes saturation to a whole different level. Everything from subtle mastering to wild tape effects and everything in between, Saturn 2 has you covered.

[Eurorack Power] I have been using this as a source for automated modulations and a sweeping sweet-spot finder in my patches, overall it frees up some sends for me and I find cool sounds faster

[Eurorack Power] Easy to get classic overdrive and muddy modern tones. Somewhat lead tones can be achieved by pushing mids with a tube overdrive pedal or eq. Great pedal overall.

[0.92 lb] I haven't even watched the videos on how to properly use this groovebox yet, and I'm already having so much fun. It's my first after researching different samplers and grooveboxes. A video online helped me decide on this one as a beginner and I have zero regrets. I also appreciate that B&H matched a discounted price.

[Eurorack Module] I preordered the VL2 based purely on my enjoyment of Pittsburgh's previous Taiga synth. The VL2 is a completely blank slate for you to dive in, experiment and tweak/build to your hearts desire. The new waveform/folding options are deep and the sequencer on this system is amazing. Create anything from polyrhythms and percussives to full on melodic arrangements, all complete with chance/scanning/scrubbing/fills/slides etc. The middle blue row (shared by both sequencers) is a terrific idea that opens up your modulation options in really fun ways that you may not fully realize until you get your hands on the system. Florist chorus/reverb and a longer delay (than the Taiga) are welcome effect additions to add flavor to any arrangement. I LOVE this synth. It's big, it's easy to touch and play and it sounds amazing. They nailed it once again.

[Black] Great keyboard, works as intended - and a good amount of options under the hood. Will your keyboard be a bit messier looking? Sure..but a really cool way to customize exactly what you want your perfect 4-voice poly/paraphonic instrument to do. And yes you can go beyond 4 voices using its midi outputs. All in all a pretty cool way to incorporate a case and keyboard in one.

[Black] Works great and really intuitive to use. There's plenty of video reviews and demos on the net to help learn the workflow for noobs like me. It's portable and great for spur of the moment ideas and helps get started learning electronic music without too many distractions.
