FREQ.+ FACTORY= NOISE-A-GO-GO
What is the Freq Factory?
It is the worlds first portable electronic scratch music instrument.
Who makes it?
We are the Opus Frequency Labs, an independent designer of DJ and electronic music instruments and toys. Opus Freq Labs was founded as a collaboration between the Opus X dj crew, and Scientist Mike from NASA research. OFL was created to provide DJ's and electronic musicians an independent outlet for custom equipment. It is their belief that in an art form where the equipment dictates the type of musical expression available it is absolutely important for artists to take an active role in designing and building their instruments.
How does it work?
The Freq. Factory is a portable battery powered instrument. By combining an adjustable synth tone, and a digitally sampled scratch sound, with a cross-fader and a vinyl scratch control, users are able to practice and create new music anywhere.
What kind of options are available?
Freq Factory v 2.1 comes standard with:
*Headphone Out (1/4")
*Battery Power (1x9volt)
*Pitch Adjust Knob
*Scratch Pad
*Cross-fader Reverse
*Use on both sides (left/right side scratching)
*Digital Display
*User changeable 5" vinyl record
*Small Size(~7"x4"3")
*On-board digital "ahh" sample
*Pitch Guide Display shows the exact note being scratched (C, Db, D, E, ....)

(Future versions will be more customizable.)
