Unit 07. Made in Japan, 1983. A single rack space that ended up on more records than most engineers could name if you asked them. Long modulated delay lines, 12-bit companding, and a feedback path that doesn’t just repeat — pushed past unity it self-oscillates, climbs, and holds a pitch you can play.
Captured across its full feedback range so the runaway is a control, not an accident. The launch lead of the collection: if you only hear one unit at the A/B player, hear this one push into oscillation and hold.
Hear it — dry / hardware / plugin
The same phrase, three ways, loudness-matched. Switch while it plays.
