PIGTRONIX GLOAMER

DUSKY DRAMA

Gloamer is an all-analog, polyphonic amplitude synthesizer that alters the attack and decay time of any sound source without sacrificing the fidelity of the original tone. Its attack function provides a pick-triggered volume swell: a cinematic "slow gear" effect that is smooth and controllable with variable timing from extremely fast to very slow. The volume swell cycle can be reset at any moment by muting, allowing players to craft bowed string-like lines and chords with ease. Gloamer also features a powerful optical compressor that can add subtle punch or extreme sustain, helping to maintain a smooth volume swell effect even with very long attack times. A Volume knob controls loudness at the peak of the attack cycle, while a master Blend control allows players to layer an uncompressed clean sound in with the volume swell effect. Additionally, when activated, the Decay function causes notes to fade out once the attack cycle is complete. When the decay cycle is completed, an auto-reset function causes the attack to begin again immediately, as long as there is audio input. This allows you to create a wide range of undulating, asymmetrical tremolos at slower settings as well as pulsating stutter effects when using faster attack and decay times.

A Hi-Fi Attack and Decay Master

Gloamer was designed to allow players to change the nature of their attack and decay while maintaining pristine, hi-fidelity audio. Easily swell blooming single note lines or full, lush chords and become the string section you've always wanted to hire but can't afford.

A Living, Breathing World

After successfully taming the rambunctious world of Star Eater, Marvin was truly relieved to encounter Gloamer, a zenlike planet that breathes in the cosmos and exhales wisdom. "Gratitude" is an understatement for how we feel about the meditative tones he brought home.

TONE MAPS

String Theory

With Gloamer's pick triggered volume swell function front and center, beautiful violin-like sounds are at your fingertips.

Blended Swell

This tone map takes advantage of the Blend function, adding a volume swell on top of your clean sound for dreamy drama.

Triggered Tremolo

Shorter Attack and Decay times provide a pick triggered tremolo effect that follows your playing, retriggering after each complete cycle. The front side and back side of the tremolo waveform are individually adjustable using the Attack and Decay controls.

Stutter Pulse

The shortest possible Attack and Decay times create a rapid stutter effect with the Blend function increasing the choppiness of the effect as it is turned clockwise.

Long Swell & Fade

Turning on the Decay function causes your sound to decrease in volume smoothly once it hits the peak of the Attack phase. Once the Decay cycle is finished, the Attack cycle will restart once again.
