Iota is a tone generator, which is to say, a synth for your pedalboard. It is designed to make playing easy: regardless of your skill level or familiarity with synthesizers, you’ll quickly be making fun sounds, and running them through all your favorite effects. Pick the character of your sound, some notes, and some parameters for how Iota moves through those notes, then set it in motion. Music theory? Sound design? Fret not, just have some fun!
Iota has:
Presets
Expression control over every knob
MIDI control over everything in the pedal, including tempo via MIDI clock and root note via MIDI notes
Mono or stereo output
Aux footswitch for manual triggering of notes, tap tempo, or preset switching
Controls include:
A bank of 12 pushbuttons to set your root note, scale intervals, or one of 12 onboard presets
Osc, Noise, Octave and Volume to shape the core sound
Rate, Range, and Direction to control the speed, range, and direction Iota moves through its sequence of notes
Skip and Hold to create random or patterned skips within the sequence
Bend, Glide and Swing to add a bit more interest to the way the notes move
Env Length, Shape, and Mix to set the way each note swells in or out
Scramble to shuffle the notes around
For more information, see the Iota manual available here.
Requires 9V DC center negative 2.1mm jack power supply capable of 250mA (not included).
