Cutting Room Floor V3
THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR WAS DESIGNED TO EMULATE THE SOUND AND FUNCTIONALITY OF
VINTAGE REEL-TO-REEL TAPE OVERDRIVE AND ECHO.
This eurorack module reaches into the 21st century with customized features
that traverse the world of modulation and delay. Imagine an abandoned factory
with a fluttering tape machine left on repeat.
The Cutting Room Floor provides beautifully marred saturated tape tone, and
ethereal repeats in a streamlined 6hp interface. Other features include a
freeze button that traps any tone while still playing and CV control for time.
Hand-wired in Seattle, WA. Includes a limited lifetime warranty. 6hp, 43mm
deep, 150ma current draw.
Controls
TAPE LEVEL
Controls how hard the dry signal hits tape. Turning clockwise will increase
drive and volume.
DELAY LEVEL
Controls the level of tape delay
DELAY TIME
Controls delay time
WOW
Controls level of melting modulation
FLUTTER
Controls level of tape flutter, to be used in conjunction with Wow
SHAPE
Controls shape of the flutter, from triangle to square wave
IN
Mono audio input
OUT
Mono audio output
CV
Voltage control for delay time (+/- 5V)
S/R
Single or repeat modes for delay signal
STABILITY
Up position turns Flutter on, down position turns Flutter off
FREEZE
Momentary loop playback head. This mode alters the behavior of the Delay Level
function and sets 12 O’clock as zero. Rotating to the left models
characteristics of Ampex 456 tape. Rotating to the right model characteristics
of Ampex 499 tape.
More Details…
STABILITY
Stability injects flutter, or what is essentially an LFO to the Wow parameter.
The level of Wow will determine the amount of flutter. This s a subtle effect.
It’s more noticeable
on longer delays, ambient or lighter signals. It’s intended to modulate the
downward melting Wow, and give it some shape.
DELAY LEVEL
The delay level increases in volume as moved clockwise, modeling the
characteristics of Ampex 499 tape.
Engaging the Freeze button moves zero to 12 O’clock. Moving clockwise will
increase 499 level, moving counter-clockwise will increase 456 level. This
adds interesting and useful elements to live performance.
Miscellaneous…
The Cutting Room Floor prefers to be powered up without CV interference.
If you experience no response in Delay Level or Wow when powering up, simply
unplug CV connection to the unit and reboot.
