Strymon Mobius Multi Modulation

From Strymon:

Infinitely Organic.

Some might say we’re driven. When our engineers lock themselves in our sound design labs for months on end, you might say we’re obsessed. We have been dedicating ourselves to forging a collection of the most organic, luscious, expressive, and versatile modulation effects ever heard.

It was an enormous mission—we painstakingly studied the nuances of the legendary modulations of celebrated tremolo effects, phaser pedals, chorus units, and more from the last five decades. We didn’t stop at faithfully capturing these warm and lush vintage sounds—we expanded their vocabulary with extended versatility and sonic possibilities never before heard.

Open Up the History Books of Music.

Mobius gives you twelve legendary, versatile, and inspirational modulation machines, all in an easy-to-use package. Go from mouthwatering vintage chorus sounds all the way to syrupy psychedelic phasers. Get classic, pulsating tremolos all the way to warbling crushed bits. Mobius opens up the history books of music and provides new sounds and inspiration for all of your musical ideas.

We knew we must surpass what has been done—in sound design, audio quality, hardware design, and processing power. Utilizing an insanely powerful SHARC DSP, every drop of power is harnessed. Top it all off with 200 presets, full MIDI implementation and a unique Pre/Post Mode and you’re on your way to modulation ecstasy.

12 Versatile Modulation Machines

Mobius provides twelve studio-class, fully tweakable, and completely adjustable modulation machines:

Chorus

The Chorus machine features five distinct modes to cover all the classic chorus sounds, from the variable-clock warmth of the dBucket, Multi, and Vibrato modes, to the crisp and clean 80s sounds of the Digital and Detune modes.

Flanger

The Flanger machine’s six modes are designed to deliver the historic catalog of flanging tones with maximum ease of use. Choose from the color-coded Silver, Grey and Black (+ and -) modes for vintage stomp flanger tones, or go through zero back to the days of tape flanging with the Zero+ and Zero- modes.

Rotary

The Rotary machine captures the sonic swirling complexities of a variable horn and drum rotary speaker. A variety of parameters let you shape the system’s sonics and mechanics.

Vibe

The Vibe machine lives and breathes with the warmth and depth that discerning vibe fans will appreciate. Control over waveshape symmetry, low end response, and headroom allow for precise under-the-hood adjustments.

Phaser

The Phaser machine’s modes ensure that you’re able to easily dial in chewy 2, 4 and 6 stage phasers as well as swirly 8, 12 and 16(!) stage phasers. Each mode was painstakingly tuned for optimum sonic performance.

Filter

The flexible Filter machine gives you Low Pass, Wah, and High Pass filter modes, with resonance control and a host of cool waveforms, including envelope control, to allow for soothing sweeps, funky wahs, and futuristic bleeps.

Formant

Say what? The Formant machine does the talking for you. The Formant machine provides hours of fun as a host of selectable waveforms control the selected vowels. Select random vowels, and who knows what it’ll say next?

Vintage Trem

The Vintage Trem machine provides three historic tremolo sounds. Choose the rich complexity of the Harmonic tremolo, the soothing pulses of the Tube tremolo, or the surf and spy sounds of the Photo tremolo.

Pattern Trem

The Pattern Trem machine allows you to sequence up to eight beats of trem subdivision for some unique rhythmic sounds. Choose from a variety of waveforms, including smooth sinewaves, sharp saws, choppy pulses, and more. Easily re-trigger your pattern with a single press of the tap switch.

Autoswell

The Autoswell machine goes beyond the typical ‘volume swell’ effect, giving you four different types of swell curves to choose from, in addition to a wide range of rise times. The Depth knobs brings in a chorus/vibrato effect to the swelled signal when turned up.

Destroyer

The Destroyer machine combines bit-crushing, sample-rate reduction, and lo-fi filtering alongside vinyl scratches and warps. From an old-timey 78 record, to video-game nostalgia, to a heinously corrupted under-sampled buzz, the Destroyer machine has the power, flexibility and sonic pedigree necessary to really muck things up just right.

Quadrature

The Quadrature machine handles another spectrum of signal corruption. Choose from AM (amplitude modulation), FM (frequency modulation), or Frequency Shifting (single side band modulation) to go where few have gone before. This mode is highly flexible with a variety of waveshapes to modulate the modulation.

Front Panel

The Display can show LFO speed (in beats per minute), your preset name, or preset bank number. When editing a sound it will display your modulation parameters.
Value gives you complete control over modulation parameters, global settings, and fine-tuning of LFO speed.
- Each Modulation Machine type has it’s own set of easily tweakable effect parameters.
Speed provides coarse adjustment over your LFO Speed.
Depth sets the modulation depth for the current modulation machine.
Level adjusts the output level from -3dB to +3dB. Set to 12 o’clock for unity gain.
Type allows you to select your Modulation Machine type.
- Choose from Chorus to Quadrature and everything in between. Press to toggle the display between Bank and BPM. Press and hold to save a preset.
Param 1 is assignable to any parameter for the current modulation machine, saveable per preset.
Param 2 is assignable to any parameter for the current modulation machine, saveable per preset.
A Footswitch activates or bypasses your preset.
- Press A and B simultaneously to Bank Down through your presets.
B Footswitch activates or bypasses your preset.
- Press B and TAP simultaneously to Bank Up through your presets.
Tap Footswitch allows you to Tap to set your LFO Speed.
- You can also press once to re-trigger your LFO for Phaser, Filter, Formant, Pattern Trem and Quadrature. For Rotary, this switch is assignable to either tap or speed select.
