Sampler, Modulator, Delay and Looper Modular Synthesizer.
Cocoquantus fast facts by Peter Blasser:
- it comes from a series of 8 bit digital delays, starting with the ambrazier, srine, and tranoe, then the cocolase, and most recently the cocostuber. all had two inputs and two outputs, for two separate digital delays (stereo)
- the digital delay being made from discrete silicon chips, it is "2012 ready:" with no flash memory 2 B erased by solar flares. as a discrete device it also offers unique possibilities for clock modulation of your samples.
- it incorporates something from each of the previous COCO incarnations, but also stands on its own as a new synthesizer.
- materials include: Walnut, Sassafras, Ash, Cherry, circuit board, transistors, capacitors, and resistors. It is RoHS compliant.
- the face of the instrument is an esoteric, Washington DC, spell, consisting of two obelisks and one pentagon in the middle.
- inside each obelisk is a little "counting computer" that samples your inputs and "loops" them.
- your inputs for each obelisk (COCO digital delay) can be a piezo via high impedance piezo input, microphone via XLR, or a low impedance synth input.
- speaking of synth input, it is designed to go very well with the stereo gesture output of the Sidrazzi organ
- the COCO devices on this version are the most fully tricked out ever. they include a standardized "dolby" filter to reduce silence-noise, which also can have a side effect of punching silence into that which is looped. alongside the dolby filter are verso and inverso VCA inputs for both input and feedback. speed knob, sp.af node (control of clock frequency), and affect knob, that allows you to dial how drastic or subtle to modulate. "iron cross" output node, that is a sort of "universal" frequency readout of the actual digital circuitry itself. flip and skip inputs, as always. sample switch enables the device to loop any sample FOREVER as long as power is continuous.
- the QUANTUSSY in the middle, a pentagon design of oscillators, can demonstrate serious chaos, at low frequencies as well as audio rate... thus it is specially designed to give many options for modulating the COCO

How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK it's normally around £4 for order values under £150, and free above that. Shipping to mainland EU is typically between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of Parcelforce, DPD, Royal Mail and UPS for the UK, and for international orders it's either Royal Mail, UPS, DHL or FedEx depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 15:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes FedEx or UPS may come a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Shipping times
Since April 2020 the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer.
There is absolutely nothing we can do about this unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Saturday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 15:30 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday delivery (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). The success rate with DPD is about 95% so it's worth a punt most of the time. Please note that if you select Saturday shipping on an order placed earlier in the week, we'll wait until Friday to ship it.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
