A new unit from a brilliant new designer – exclusive to Soundgas – we absolutely love this wild and unpredictable box which can create stunning sounds and rhythms from pretty much anything.
The BOU is a characterful and unpredictable audio sampler, designed for experimentation and improvisation. please feed it a wide variety of sound sources including but not limited to field recordings and household objects, acoustic instruments, synthesizers and electronic equipment, songs by your favourite recording artist (or your least favourite…).
There are no menus, sub-patches, presets or save functions. The BOU is immediate and imperfect.
Please note that these are handbuilt and hand-finished units; some imperfections to the finish and knobs is to be expected.

Record
The capture button records for the length that it’s pressed for (maximum 3 seconds), recording from the built-in microphone, unless a line input is connected on the back in which case that source is captured. the looped sample begins to play back immediately.
Mix
There is no overall volume control for the BOU. both of the playback samplers have their own level control, as does the fragment space and occult emanation parameters which are routed as pre-fade effects.
Play
There are two sample players which behave differently: particle and fragment. each has a control for length, speed and level.
There is additional control for pitch and direction of particle, whilst fragment can be sent to space.
Occult emanation should be used liberally with caution.
Power supply:
Requires a 9v centre positive supply (not included).
Brand new product.
