The new Zerosum Inertia Cenotaph has just arrived!
The Cenotaph is device meant for processing modular level audio signals.
Line level or guitar level signals will work but need to be fed into a signal amplifier to get signal to modular levels before entering Cenotaph.
If low level signals are used the results will sound like a bit crusher and be less stable and predictable which sometimes sounds cool,
but overall it is recommended to stick with modular level signals like VCO waveforms straight out of the VCO.
The audio signal is fed into two 6CB6 pentodes then into a 4046 PLL and 4013 Divider.
Switchcraft 1/4” jacks and NOS military surplus tubes used.
Hand wired and through hole assembly, PCB manufacturing, enclosure drilling and metal work all done in USA.
For most stable results the left knob should be full clockwise/pointing to the right when third/right switch is in UP position. If center switch is in UP position then it doesn’t matter where left knob position is.
It is recommended to start with all 3 knobs in full clockwise position and all switches down.
Left knob controlls PLL level.
Left switch controls PLL behavior mode.
Center knob controls PLL frequency.
Center switch routes PLL INTO divider when up,
PLL and Divider are in parallel when center switch is down.
Right knob controls divider level.
Right switch selects divide down by 4 when down, divide by 2 when up.

Noisebug is an independent online electronic music store, synthesizer showroom and event space located in the Downtown Pomona Arts District in Pomona, California.
The space was the original Analogue Haven location, which was started in 2005, way back in the dawn of the Eurorack Modular explosion.
When the original AH partners split up in 2008, Noisebug was born and over the years it has housed the operations of Plan B, stocked the Moog Guitar and the Franz K Itar, served as the only USA showroom for Buchla product pre-BEMI, and has put on many concerts from the likes of Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Ezra Buchla, John L Rice, and many local electronic music artists.
We stock keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines, electronic percussion and desktop modules from all over the world. We specialize in Multi-Format Modular Synthesizers, including Moog Format (MU), Buchla Format, Eurorack, Serge and beyond. 2018 marks Noisebug's 10 Years anniversary as an independent electronic music retailer.

Steve Roach Live in Pasadena August 30
I am currently in the deep end of prepping my set for the Pasadena concert — my live return to Los Angeles. The energy is building as the memories of coming back to where it all started — Los Angeles in the 80s — adds to the excitement. For this performance, the wide dynamic range of my work will be experienced, including portions of 1988’s Dreamtime Return. The church’s large concert hall environment significantly adds to the anticipation of performing in Los Angeles; that’s combined with knowing friends-of-the-music from as far way as France are coming in for the set. It all adds up to a special moment in time.
I’m also looking forward to meeting old and new friends at a fun afternoon gathering at my favorite gotta-have-it-now synth shop, Noisebug in Pomona. That will be the day after the concert, August 31 from 1 to 5pm.
