Brain
This creation has been sold!
Brain is the SS-1's twisted cousin, with very similar circuitry but a very different look! It's got 10 LED's inside which show brain activity, and create quite a spectacle on stage! It's very hands-on and easy to use, while also capable of a huge variety of squeals and squelches. Watch the video above or

What the Brain can do
There are two modes on the Brain: body contact mode and body contact + oscillator mode. In body contact mode the SS-1 will not make a sound until you touch the two body contacts and make it squeal and groan to your your hearts delight. You can get full control over the squarewave with your hands by varying the amount you touch the huge body contacts. If you switch to oscillator mode, the SS-1 makes a constant squarewave. The ten LEDs will alternately flash in time with the speed of the oscillator. The left pot/dial controls the pitch of the first oscillator, and the right one controls the second oscillator. You can take the first oscillator down to a rythmic metronome-like pitch, or up to a high squeal. The second Oscillator is modulated by the first one, and at a slow tempo you can hear it getting gated on and off. When you tune oscillator 1 higher, and adjust oscillator 2, you get some amazing flangey, frequency modulation-type sounds. It's hard to explain these sounds exactly, so watch the video or download the sound sample below. You can get a huge array of sounds out of the Brain with minimal controls, and once you start adding effects, the possibilities are endless! You really have to hear it!
The Brain runs on a 9v battery kept in a holder in the base of the Brain (battery not included).
