Alexander Pedals Superball Kinetic Modulator
Alexander Pedals · pedal
The Alexander Pedals Superball Kinetic Modulator is a digital delay pedal whose repeat envelope is physically modeled on the bouncing of a superball — each successive repeat decays with logarithmic energy loss derived from actual slow-motion footage rather than a linear or exponential approximation. Sixteen editable parameters across LFO, SEQ, HI, and LO banks enable pitch sequencing, modulation, filter sweeps, and combined effects within the delay tails. The sequencer is tied to delay time producing pitched note sequences from echo tails. Purpose-built for ambient, experimental, generative texture, and sound design applications.
