Mu-Tron

Mu-Tron III+ Envelope Controlled Filter

MU-TRON III+® translates the envelope or “volume profile” of every musical passage, …automatically… into an easily-controlled, vowel-like sound, as you play.
Use MU-TRON III+® to create a variety of synthesizer sounds with most electrified instruments: guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, flute, saxophone, brasses, …. even microphone.

The sharper your attack and the more percussive your instrument, the wilder your sound will be.
Besides providing that inverted “snap” (perfect for funky bass), MU-TRON III+®also functions as an automatic “wah” pedal. Full instructions are included, but you decide how far you want to go.

DC POWER: Jack for H•A•Z Model PS-1 power supply.
CONTROLS
POWER: On-off switch.
LOW BATTERY/SWEEP LIMIT INDICATOR: Monitors the batteries’ condition and aids in setting the depth control.
RANGE SWITCH: Emphasizes high or low frequencies.
DRIVE SWITCH: Shifts the filter up or down for two totally different effects.
MODE SWITCH: High-pass, band-pass, low-pass or notch filter characteristics, for accentuating different regions of audio band, allowing four distinct tonal images.
DEPTH CONTROL: A sensitivity control for optimum operation from any musical source.
PEAK CONTROL: For varying filter “sharpness” from a subtle accentuation through a distinct vowel sound to high resolution filtering that “plays” individual overtones.
BYPASS FOOT-SWITCH: A true, passive bypass switch for routing the audio signal around the effect.
DIP-SWITCHES (internal): Permit you to customize your MU-TRON III+® to highlight your instrument and playing style. Two switches tailor the high and low frequency ranges. Three switches control the way the MU-TRON III+® follows the dynamics of your instrument. The last switch allows the Low battery L.E.D. to double as a sweep limit indicator.
