Blacet Dark Star Chaos 2000

Voltage-Controlled Synth Voice

We acquired Blacet research in 2019 after the unfortunate passing of its founder, John Blacet. We will continue to make Blacet products available and support the FRAC format. 

We are DELIGHTED to have the Dark Star Chaos back in the catalog again! For anyone who lived near a Radio Shack and 'discovered' the experimental possibilities of the TI SN76477 synth sound chip when it came out---  this module is for you!

"Dark Star Chaos is a modular voltage-controlled sound generator optimized for producing an unusual variety of noise-based sounds. A wide-range digital noise source and filter modulate a pulse wave VCO making this a unique (for its time) device. It can serve as a stand-alone module or be used in conjunction with old and new modular synthesis equipment. 

The DSC2000 includes a voltage-controlled digital noise source clock allowing the speed of the noise to be set from 'Off' to a random step to a rush of white noise. A VC Noise Filter controls the depth of the noise moulation of the vCO. A VC triangle wave modulation generator (LFO) can also be used to moulate the pulse width of the VCO pulse waveform. 

A basic Attack/Decay Generator and audio level stage allows control over the audio envelope. "
