Roulettophone

After collecting various wheels from pieces of furniture on the streets over a year, the Roulettophone was born. An unexpected wide range of sounds can be played with this device, going from smooth ambient rolling sounds to synthesizer-like percussive FX sounds.

FX Section

NEW! You can now choose between two models : Roulettophone or Roulettophone FX. The Roulettophone FX is slightly larger and includes an FX section with two freeze switches, vibrato, distortion, stereo delay, HP and LP filters and reverb! (See specs below)

ROULETTOPHONE FX

 

Body :
Aluminium enclosure with solid oak side panels // Various wheels hand-picked for their extraordinary sonic capabilities… // High quality stainless steel screws and bolts.
Enclosure: 432 x 254 x 76mm
Soul :
The sounds of the wheels are picked up by a large piezo microphone. The signal then goes through a custom built piezo preamp circuit (to get nice low-end), then into an Axoloti core circuit board in which it will benefit from deep sound therapy through various effects :
-Freeze 1 : Very short delay time with very long feedback  (on/off switch)
-Freeze 2 : Very short delay time (different than Freeze 1) with very long feedback  (on/off switch)
-Vibrato (on/off switch)
-Distortion (pot)
-Stereo Delay (time, ping pong, feedback and mix pots)
-Lowpass filter (cutoff and resonance pots)
-Highpass filter (cutoff and resonance pots)
-Reverb (size and mix pots)
The Roulettophone FX also features a stereo audio input (two 1/4 inch jack sockets) to plug any external audio source into its FX section. A mono external source and the internal piezo can also be used together.
Stereo output (two 1/4 inch jack sockets) + headphones out (stereo 1/4 inch jack socket).
Power supply (included) : 9V – 500mA + 9V battery for the piezo preamp circuit.
