The ADDAC 124 Plectrums module is a component of the ADDAC Four Strings Series, featuring a servo per string allowing to pluck each string independently either from their dedicated push-buttons, incoming triggers or via MIDI.
In Pluck mode the servo will move about 20 degrees effectively plucking the string.
In Harmonic Mode the servo only moves about 10 degrees stopping at vertical position to lightly tap the string so that harmonics can be heard. For this to happen the user needs to place the module in specific locations, for ex. at half the string length, at 2/3 the string length or 3/4 of the string length.
For effective use: up to 3 modules can be daisy chained, one plucking the strings and 2 others to engage different harmonics.
To change between modes 4 switches features 3 states:
UP: disables triggers and MIDI inputs while still allowing push buttons to trigger the PLECTRUM.
MIDDLE: Pluck mode, all inputs are active.
DOWN: Harmonic mode, all inputs are active.
12 extra spare plectrums are provided. (.stl 3D printing files available from ADDAC per request)
Idle: +12V 120mA / -12V 20mA
Extreme Use: +12V 920mA / -12V 20mA
