schippmann ebbe und flut price : $1,999.00

the ebbe und flut is a high quality analogue signal processor with two very fat and very precise vcfs, each with 12 different functions at their core. a very effective automatic soft-knee compressor controllable with only one knob and with very good adjustment properties is part of the device as well as a really musical distortion unit. the signal chain is completed by a vca controlled by either envelope generators or a noisegate.

each filter has its own envelope generator (with the modes attack, hold and release) and is additionally controlled either by an lfo (with waveforms triangle, sawtooth or rectangle), sample & hold or by the envelope follower control voltage. in addition, an external footpedal can modulate each vcf independently. the resonance can also be modulated. moreover, from the input signal a very reliable and flutter-free trigger will be generated even under difficult signal conditions. any modulations are adjustable in both directions, normal or inverse.

a lot of external signal and modulation inputs and outputs provide very flexible and extensive linking possibilities to your studio.
