DACS FwS FREQue II

The FwS FREQue II (pronounced “freak”) is a genuinely new and inspirational analogue effects processor.

The Effects:

With low frequency modulation inputs:

Simple to complex autopan effects, gating, amplitude modulation, flanging, spatialising

With mid frequency modulation inputs:

Vocoding type effects, adding tunable harmonics, both lower down to subsonic, and up to supersonic, second harmonic distortion (like valves/tubes), harmonising, retuning percussion, gating, general rich distortion, Sci-Fi voices (eg a Dalek)

With high frequency modulation inputs:

Transposition with distortion, adding glitter, air, sparkle etc when mixed back into original

With music or sounds into both inputs:

Vocoding effects, gating effects, fattening/thickening effects, spatial effects, weird transformations

Internal FM:

Frequency Modulation of modulation oscillator at all frequencies, giving effects ranging from slow pulsation to the classic FM generation of complex waveforms

External voltage control of oscillators:

Envelope follower effects, FM effects as above, randomised autopanning

Frequency shift:

Up and down shift of frequency with change in harmonic structure, with FM for sliding effects, using feedback loop to create filter type sweeps
