About ENGAGED: Switchboard Synth
ENGAGED is a semi-modular synthesizer built into an antique tin toy telephone exchange. Red handset on top. Rotary dial. Patch bay with cords. Four yellow push tabs. Flip the box over and the engineer's panel is waiting on the back. Type a message and ENGAGED sends it in Morse code. That Morse code is your sequencer. The timing is real: a dot is one step, a dash is three, and the gaps are proper too. Each letter plays the note of the dial hole it sits under, so ABC is 2 and WXYZ is 9. The old phone keypad is the scale. LIFT THE HANDSET: Handset up, the message transmits. Handset down, the voice is yours to play from MIDI, the dial or the BUZZ tab. A DIAL THAT ACTUALLY DIALS: Drag to the finger stop and let go. It runs back at 10 pulses a second like a GPO rotary dial, and the pulses come out of a socket you can patch. Dial out of this world while you are at it. 627 (M.A.R.) goes to Mars. 836 (V.E.N.) goes to Venus. 728 (S.A.T.) goes to Saturn. Each planet changes the sound. 999 brings you home and clears stuck notes. PATCH IT OR LEAVE IT ALONE: Every socket is pre-wired inside, so ENGAGED makes noise with no cords at all. Push a cord in and it replaces the wire. 8 SEND sockets: OSC A, OSC B, LFO, ENV, TONE, NOISE, MORSE, DIAL. 8 RECEIVE sockets: PITCH A, PITCH B, CUTOFF, METAL, VCA, DELAY, DAMAGE, CLOCK, each with its own amount knob. Hit OPERATOR and an exhausted operator jams cords in at random. Hit DROP and every cord comes out. Patch anything into CLOCK and it steps
