Plankton Nutone dual tube VCA 1/2: demo + explained (LMS EE)

The Plankton Nutone is a dual tube VCA based on the Korg Nutube: compact fluorescent displays re-engineered to act as micro vacuum triode tubes. Its easy-to-use interface include controls for each stage to be fed back into itself, as well as for each stage to be fed to the other one. It can be used as normal VCA with minimal distortion, as a tube VCA with distortion only on the envelope peaks, or as a saturation device. At high feedback levels, it will self-oscillate and generally freak out in interesting ways. In this movie, I give a no-talking demo of using the Nutone, and then look at how it changes the incoming sound: 00:00 demo 01:53 overview 02:46 setting up 03:50 triangle/sawtooth variations 06:24 using as a VCA vs. saturator The other movie demonstrates the Nutone in use as a VCA, as a saturation device, and as the two put together – including performance control.
