Asteroide

The Asteroide by OPFXS is a versatile sampler and harmonizer pedal designed for guitarists and musicians seeking innovative sound manipulation capabilities. Below are the technical specifications and features of the Asteroide:

- Controls:
- MIX: Sets the master level of the sampled signal.
- FUNDAMENTAL: Adjusts the level of the sampled signal at the fundamental frequency.
- LOW OCT: Sets the level of the sampled signal one octave down.
- HIGH HARMONICS: Adjusts the level of the sampled signal at higher harmonics.
- 2nd HARMONIC: Sets the level of the sampled signal at the 2nd harmonic.
- SINGLE/DUAL: Toggles between single-note and dual-note sampling modes.
- BYPASS: Bypasses the pedal and erases the sampled note.
- SAMPLE: Samples the note being played.

- Sampling Modes:
- Single/Dual Notes Sampling Mode: Allows for the sampling of single or dual notes, with the ability to play back two sampled notes simultaneously in dual mode.

- Additional Features:
- Continuous Sampling: Allows continuous sampling while playing, similar to a standard octaver pedal.
- Infinite Sustain: Sustains each newly sampled note indefinitely until a new note is sampled or the bypass is pushed.
- Envelope Follower Mode: Tracks the input signal, playing back sampled notes when the user is playing and stopping when they stop.
- Tracking Setting: Offers options to help low-tuned guitars cope better with the Asteroide and to increase or decrease the tracking range.

- Output:
- Mono/Split Output: Allows for the separation of dry signal from the effect signal using a Y jack cable, enabling the connection of two amps or independent signal processing.

- Specifications:
- Powering: 9V DC with center-negative DC Jack 2.1mm (BOSS™ standard).
- Current Consumption @ 9V DC: 100mA in split mode.
- Input Nominal Level: Instrument.
- Input Impedance: 1M Ohm.
- Output Impedance: 600 Ohm.
- Bypass: Transparent buffered bypass.

The Asteroide is designed to sample the note being played, memorize it, and play it back following the input envelope or applying infinite sustain in hold mode. It also allows for the addition of lower and higher harmonics to create a fat bass sound or organ-like timbre. The pedal's dynamic capabilities make it useful for creating bass lines, harmonically complex riffs, or chord progressions.
