Violent Expression Controller

Description

An Expression Pedal That Actually Expresses

Your feet can do more than just press a pedal—what if they could breathe life into your sound?

Traditional expression pedals are simple, functional, and predictable. Useful? Absolutely. Inspiring? Not always. So we set out to restore what the word “Expression” truly means.

This pedal combines a light-responsive Optical Sensor with an onboard LFO-based CV generator featuring 8 unique waveforms. Instead of just moving a rocker pedal back and forth, now you can shape sound using light, shadow, rhythm, and motion. It invites you to perform—not just control.

Whether you’re crafting ambient swells, evolving textures, modular synth movements, or glitchy rhythmic modulation—this pedal pushes your creativity into places your hands alone could never reach.

Two Independent Worlds of Control: 

1. 1. LFO CV Output (0–5V DC)

• Sends control voltage to Expression inputs on delay, reverb, modulation, or filter pedals

• Fully compatible with Eurorack, semi-modular synths, analog or digital keyboard synths

• Features Tap Tempo, so your modulation can follow the pulse of your performance

2. Optical Output (Light-Controlled Expression)

• Requires no power supply at all

• Simply move your hand, foot, or a beam of light over the large circular lens

• The LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) beneath it translates brightness and shadow into pure expression

Prototype — But Fully Alive

The first production batch is still in its prototype stage, but make no mistake—
this unit is already 100% fully functional, stable, and performance-ready.

What you’re holding isn’t just a draft. It’s the first chapter of something new—
raw, honest, and built for musicians who aren’t afraid to experiment.
Early users of this batch will experience the pedal in its most authentic form:
unfiltered, playable, and full of potential.
