An electro-mechanical synth pedal with real-time pitch tracking.
Blurring the boundaries between analog mechanics and modern synthesis, the Gamechanger Audio Motor Pedal electro-mechanical synth voice and harmony pedal introduces a revolutionary way to create and control sound. At its core spins a real brushed DC motor, physically generating tones in perfect sync with your instrument’s pitch to produce an electrifying blend of organic vibration and futuristic texture. The result is a living, breathing instrument that responds to your touch with glitchy growls, resonant drones, and soaring harmonic layers. Equipped with five distinct synthesis engines—including cross-modulated oscillators, coil resonance, and a 24-band vocoder—the Motor Pedal invites players to explore everything from cinematic ambience to raw mechanical chaos. A spring-loaded expression pedal offers hands-free control over acceleration, braking, and pitch movement, giving you the sensation of "driving" your sound in real time. Handcrafted in Riga, Latvia, and built to withstand years of creative exploration, this pedal isn’t just an effect—it’s a full-fledged instrument for artists pushing the limits of what a guitar, bass, or voice can become.
Revolutionary Electro-Mechanical Synth Voice
At the heart of the Gamechanger Audio Motor Pedal is an actual spinning electromotor, designed to generate sound by matching the pitch of your input signal. The motor spins at a rate that mirrors your playing, creating a raw, electromagnetic output unlike anything you’ve heard before. This is not digital emulation—it’s real-time, physical sound production, bringing an organic and tactile character to your music. Expect glitchy tones, growling effects, and a captivating mechanical undertone that makes every performance unique.
Versatile Sound Engines for Unique Textures
The Motor Pedal comes packed with five distinct synthesis engines, each offering a new layer of sonic manipulation. From raw motor sounds to cross-modulated textures, hard-synced oscillators, and a 24-band vocoder, the pedal is designed for creative freedom. The innovative coil mode generates resonant, nostalgic vibrations, while the motor interval selector lets you shift pitch by octaves, fifths, or fourths. Whether you're crafting cinematic soundscapes or experimental tones, these features unlock endless potential for sonic experimentation.
Dynamic Foot Pedal for Real-Time Control
The Motor Pedal’s spring-loaded expression pedal provides intuitive control, offering modes like accelerate, brake, clutch, drift, and volume swells. This innovative design allows you to add pitch bends, control volume dynamics, or temporarily disconnect the motor for sustained drones. The tactile feel and responsive operation ensure a seamless experience, letting you focus on your creativity and manipulate your sound on the fly during performances.
