Rare semi-modular analog touch synth. Ouroboros Electronics no longer produces synths.
Alea 2-voice semi-modular synth but with a new aesthetic and touch plates for added crypticness.
Ouroboros designed it to offer gestural control and influence over the instrument. Placing your fingers generates voltage through the area of skin contact and pressure, and you can then patch that into different aspects of the synthesizer. It could be dynamics, pitch, modulation, adding rhythm, or setting drones.
Alea Taction has two voices with sine wave oscillators, wave shapers, low pass gates, LFOs and a Stochastic shift register-based sequencer. Ouroboros Electronics says it’s capable of everything from generative melodies and morphing drones to psychoacoustic percussion, silky sub basslines, esoteric techno, tactile improvisations and much more.
The Alea Taction is housed in a 15” x 9’ x 2” bamboo boat with a matte PCB front panel.
Patch cables and output cables not included. 18v center negative DC power adapter not included.
