Anyone ever heard of a company called Cymbaline? I have a very strange sampling delay rack made by them and i'm not sure if its some kind of prototype or someones built it in their bedroom. Its a digital delay but it has several CV and GATE inputs and outputs plus if you open up the case it looks suspiciously like a couple of modules from a modular synth mounted in a rack case with a load of other circuitry piggy backed onto it.
It has all kinds of wierd features like the ability to set up a delay, sample the delay internally then trigger the sample playback with the peaks of a audio input. You can use the Length, Start point and Decay knobs to loop and mangle the triggered sample in all kinds of wierd ways. Its like getting Alec Empire round to mangle an Amen break for you. You even have a knob to set the sample rate of the delays.
Anyway, if anyone has ever heard of these people or knows anything about them then please let me know. Whoever made this thing was obviously either barking mad or a genius or both.
