Happy Saturday and please excuse the xposting...

The Model 24 Heisenberg Generator is a dual random voltage processor - one
side producing smooth (as Ezra Buchla put it - wiggly) random voltage, the
other side doing stepped random.  It runs off it's own random source, or can
be used to process external signals, meaning it can operate as a VC Sample
and Hold or Slew Generator.  I slipped this one into production  when no one
was looking, -  there was no advance notification.  PCBs and faceplates are
already on order, most of the parts are already here. Shipping to our
dealers will commence in about a month's time.

The M24 uses an Amtel 2051 micro-controller to generate its triggers and
internal gate signals (which in some cases are processed into noise in the
same manner as the extinct MM5837 noise chip).  There are specific reasons
why I elected to use a microP for these functions.  Details are on the EAR
site.

As a further note, shipments of the Model 10 Polyphonic Envelope ($185
retail) and Model 14 Dual Processor ($225 retail) will commence next week.

There are three other products coming in short time.  One is long overdue -
the four channel stereo mixer/panner.   The Model 16 Spectral Mutliplexer is
next.  The other one has not yet been announced and I'm going  to keep it
under my belt for a bit longer.  All I can mention is it's an Evil Twin.

Evil twin of what will remain a mystery...for now!

peace,

- P
