Hypster

Four channel Chaos generator

Want to add a little more CHAOS into your life? Here’s just the thing!

Introducing the Hypster – Model 1720 —It takes orderly, mundane circuits and transforms them into a wild ride of unpredictable mayhem! Why settle for boring, consistent signals when you can have a chaos generator that truly lives on the edge? Designed for those who find comfort in confusion and thrive on uncertainty, this gadget will have your synth screaming for mercy.

Designed in close collaboration with the Chief Chaos Crafter and Elite Entropy Engineer himself, Ian Fritz.

Features include:

• Unruly Squiggles: Square waves? Sinusoidal? Yah! How about “It does what it wants”? The Hypster generates signals that even it doesn’t fully understand. Good luck figuring them out.
• Whacky Waveforms: Comes with it’s own limited 2 channel Lissajous oscilloscope that will have your eyes crossed and your head spinning. Touch screen control of trace length & thickness.
• Random Frequency Hopping: Is it 1Hz? Is it 10KHz? Who knows? The Hypster can help you slog through your synth frequencies like a snail on acid, or skip like a caffeinated rabbit on a pogo stick.
• Amplitude Anarchy: Say goodbye to predictable voltage. Every signal is a surprise—a rollercoaster ride of peaks and troughs that’ll keep you on your toes.
• Pseudorandom Personality: Switch between “Mild” or “Wild”, and “Curly” or “Squirrelly”. Turn up the “Rate”, “Gain” and “Damp” controls, and you’ll summon a signal so erratic, it might start communicating with the cosmos (no promises on what it’ll say).

Perfect for:

• Mad Scientists: Because who doesn’t want to create something that could inadvertently open a portal to another dimension?
• Frustrating Your Colleagues: Plug it into your synth setup, sit back, and watch the confusion unfold.
• Breaking the Laws of Physics (Probably): We haven’t verified it, but we’re pretty sure the Hypster bends reality itself.

Important Notices:

The Hypster does its best to keep the chaos under control, but some settings can overload the circuits, requiring a restart (power-down). Expect abnormality!
The Lissajous LCD display tries to keep up, but is only a CRT simulation using software. At faster rates the CPU can’t keep up and smooth curves turn to spider webs. Sorry.
“U” & “-U” Outputs have larger P-P voltage swings by design.
Order now because your synth —and your brain—need it!
