You can count on Land Devices to harness the very best studio / audio grade components to generate superior tones and textures. And this Moonbow combines dual hi-fidelity resonant filters across a cutoff frequency range of 20Hz to 5kHz.
You can further use a CV input to control the cutoff frequency more dynamically.
And finally you have an Overdrive circuit based on the Land Devices control strip with a 33dB Gain Range, running from -13dB to +20dB.
With those 5 key controls you can generate a variety of harmonic outputs, the Overdrive is particularly appealingly textured to my ears.
Controls - Gain (-13dB > +20dB), CV In 0-5V, Cutoff Frequency (20Hz > kHz), Resonance, Level, Filter : HP / LP.
This is one of those really neat simple circuits with maximum textural impact. It really is beautifully calibrated. When the formula is this right - you don’t need a load of extra controls. I guess Land Devices are all about quality in simplicity!
The Moonbow is very aptly named as it cleverly manages to conjure up soundscapes suggested by its moniker. It’s available for pre-orders right now on the Land Devices Webstore - where it goes for $249 and equivalent (€242 / £201). The first batch sold out very quickly but there should be more along fairly soon!
