B00GA is a studio and live instrument designed to create experimental rhythms and tonal textures. Inspired by a rare piece of lab equipment, the Hewlett-Packard Word Generator 8006A, it offers an excitingly different way to sequence clicks, pulses, and noise.

 

Use it to create tight grooves, off-kilter beats, and forever shifting micro-sound patterns. Speed them up into rich drones and tonal structures. It comes with a suite of five vintage-flavored effects that allow for unique radiophonic effects. From brain-dance to the dance floor to advanced sound design, let’s B00GA!

The juvenile me is disappointed it wasn’t 8008a, but whatever.

Ahaha, loved the competition bit: he’s meme-famous for his sweaters, and the self-irony here is great. But yeah, there’s a whole community around him of people who are into test equipment, we find some at thrift stores and local marketplaces to see whether it can make any interesting sound. We call this practice “will it music?” And Hewlett-Packard is among the top 5 sought-after manufacturers out there. I was lightly hunting for this particular unit myself, and with these plugin releases Hainbach basically releases my pain. Also, there’s an additional discount for his Patreon subscribers that brings B00GA down to $30, but I won’t publish the code out of respect for everyone involved in making the product.
