ADDAC124 Plectrums — Four Motorized String Pickers for the ADDAC120 Four Strings Series
The ADDAC124 takes care of the actual plucking in ADDAC's Four Strings System. Each string gets its own servo-operated plectrum, which you can activate from the front-panel buttons, incoming triggers or MIDI. It's a wonderfully literal approach to sequencing a string instrument — instead of triggering an electronic voice, you're mechanically plucking a real string.
There are two playing modes. Pluck mode produces a conventional picking action, while Harmonic mode moves the plectrums more gently to touch the strings at specific positions and bring out harmonics. The plectrum heights can be adjusted, and up to three modules can be chained together to combine normal plucking with harmonic playing at different positions. A particularly interesting way to connect rhythmic sequencing with acoustic sound generation.
Features:
- Four independently controlled motorized plectrums
- Individual servo for each string
- Triggering via front-panel buttons, trigger inputs or MIDI
- Pluck mode for conventional string excitation
- Harmonic mode for lightly tapping string harmonics
- Adjustable plectrum height
- Three-position mode switch per string
- Up to three modules can be daisy-chained
- 12 replacement plectrums included
- Compatible with ADDAC125 Strings Mute
About the ADDAC 120-Series
The 120-Series brings real vibrating strings into Eurorack, crossing the worlds of modular synthesis and electro-acoustic instruments. Its four strings form a customizable instrument somewhere between a lap steel guitar, a zither and an automated string machine. The headstock and bridge form the foundation, while additional modules capture the sound, mechanically pluck or mute the strings, excite them magnetically, add frets or even turn the strings into a physical audio resonator. Combined with Eurorack sequencing, CV and effects, you can build anything from a manually played instrument to a fully automated string setup.
