Hakai Labs Turbocharger High Speed Glitch Switch

Turbocharger is finally here!

Turbocharger at its core, is just a simple super high-speed switch (not a VCA) between 2 inputs. This sounds boring, but the switch is run by a CMOS switch IC capable of switching at extremely high speeds. This, paired with its internal oscillator, with PWM controls, makes for some fun experimentation. The best part is you don’t even have to use the internal oscillator. There is an external clock input that you can patch in your own pulse wave to control the switch.

Turbocharger is an idea that I (Scott Danesi) have had for some time now. After watching a presentation by Jon Sonnenberg (artoftravelogue.blogspot.com) back in the day at one of the early Knobcon conventions in Chicago on Wave Replacement Synthesis, I thought, I could do that in one module but make it crazier. So, what started out as a simple “Turbo” gate for the NT Controller module, now turned into this monstrosity.
