Earthquaker devices Towers

At the heart of the Towers is an architectural marvel of sonic alchemy: your input signal is sent through a network of infinitely repeating micro-echoes, creating dynamic generative pulses that feed a huge cathedral-like reverb. This reverberant base is then interwoven with a resonant low-pass filter that crosses delay and reverb paths at several points, shaping a massive, unearthly sound that transcends the limits of traditional hardware. The result is not simply an effect, but an experiential journey through sonic space.

The Towers incorporates a resonant low-pass filter, reminiscent of those on many famous vintage synthesizers, generating warm, vibrant tones that bring layers of dark atmosphere to reverberant echoes. The filter frequency becomes your spectral guide through these hazy worlds, with three distinct modes of navigation:
In Manual mode, you are the master of your frequency. By turning the Frequency control, you can create opposing movements between left and right channels.
Envelope mode transforms playing dynamics into filter movements where every string attack becomes a catalyst for harmonic resonance, while the Frequency setting maintains appropriate sensitivity. LFO mode entrusts control to a slow oscillator that sweeps the stereo field, and the Frequency control adjusts the speed of this movement.

Towers can be further stretched in space and time thanks to the extraordinary phenomenon known as Stretch. This fascinating function doubles the duration of the reverb by slowing down the processor speed, creating a lo-fi effect that dissociates delay lines while blurring the filter and lowering frequency responses. Sonic surprises and unexpected musical imperfections emerge, creating unique atmospheres that become the ultimate parameter for setting a musical mood.
