Welcome to The Mothership 2

Welcome to the realm of Pigtronix! The Mothership 2 pedal is a pitch-
tracking, 3-voice analog synthesizer featuring portamento and oscillator sync.
This instrument is capable of tracking both guitar and bass guitar as well as
keyboards, vocals, horns, drums and virtually any other monophonic sound
source.
While the Mothership 2 will track only one note at a time, it tracks that
one note very well. The Mothership 2's pitch recognition system controls
triangle, square, and sine wave (sub octave) voices, that can be combined
to output a huge variety of analog synthesizer tones. These voices can be
animated using the on-board Glide (portamento) and Sync functions as well
as the external Expression / CV input jack.
In keeping with Pigtronix tradition, the controls on the Mothership 2 have
been tuned to provide the fattest possible tone and the widest range of mu-
sical possibilities. The Mothership 2 was born out of a passion for analog
synthesis and versatile, expressive musical effects; it is built to last and de-
signed to inspire.
