Gating audio signals is an incredibly fun and expressive way to make music, but it’s usually confined to software sequencers. The Super Smash Button is a hardware audio gate which uses an arcade button to trigger sounds – simply run any signal through the box for rhythmic stutters, staccato drones and chopped melodies. Anyone familiar with button-bashing arcade games will love using this; finally your Track and Field skills have a practical use!
The Super Smash Button allows any audio signal to pass when the arcade button is pressed – from a tiny nanosecond to as long as you want to hold it. It has applications for many sonic/musical elements, including drones, vocals, drum machines, transistor radios, foley recordings, electromagnetic microphones and pretty much anything else you can think of! Add some delay effects or a loop pedal for an extra dimension of experimental sound.
There’s a toggle switch letting this stay connected for times when you want to continually pass the signal. The Super Smash Button comes in a strong aluminum enclosure, and it’s ultra responsive, reliable and long-lasting. It comes fully constructed and boxed by midierror who’s based in Brighton, England.
