Key Features
Product Ref: 149302
Future Sound Systems have created an exciting range of Eurorack Modules based around ‘The Greistleizer’, a coveted effects unit used and adapted by Chris Carter of Throbbing Gristle. The Greistleizer is seen as a vital component in the pioneering sound of Throbbing Gristle. This has led to four separate Eurorack modules being created, combining iconic components with modern features, allowing you to develop your own sound.
Built to replicate the original functionality of the Gristleizer's oscillator section, several modern features have been added to the TG2 Generator to produce a stable, Eurorack module. One benefit to the modern design is 1V/Oct tracking. This is crucial to ensure the module maintains tuning through various parameters. The original ‘Greistleizer’ was notorious for being able to operate at below audible frequencies, creating an ultra low bass oscillator. This has also been achieved with the TG2, whilst still retaining all the characteristics of a fully-fledged LFO.
The shape control parameter of the TG2 Generator ranges from a descending sawtooth, through triangle, to an ascending sawtooth shape. This is used to alter the output of the shape-variable ramp generator at the core of the TG2. This signal then becomes the variable input of the wave-folder. The output of the wave-folder, both fold and pulse waveforms, can be varied depending on the gain and offset control settings. The shape control knob is once again used to alter the pulsewidth of the original ramp waveform being sent to the clock output.
The gain, offset and frequency of the TG2’s wave folder are all voltage controllable. This is achieved by utilising the attenuated and 1V/Oct control inputs. This allows the TG2 to create exciting harmonics. You can also use external sources to reset the TG2 via the sync input.
