The Hot Hand Concept

The Hot Hand provides a new way to control effects. It is no longer necessary

to stand over a pedal board. The movement of the picking hand becomes an

expression pedal. The control follows the rhythm of the music without con

scious effort. It is also possible to move the hand much quicker than a pedal

can be moved. The potential for additional showmanship in live performance

must not be overlooked.

Some other possible places to put the Hot Hand sensor besides on a ﬁnger of

the picking hand include shoes, a headband, the guitar headstock, your drum

mer’s hand, your singer’s hand…

OK, maybe the singer isn’t such a good idea.

The Controls

The Hot Hand Control Box is where all of the effects are created and con-

trolled. The product contains

7 different Phasers and 7 different Flangers.

Some sounds are classics, others are new, and all have been carefully

modeled and created by real musicians. And by using the presets, you can

switch between

FOUR of those sounds without ever bending down to tweak

a knob on stage.

Note that the Hot Hand control box uses rotary encoder knobs and

LED

rings. This allows you not only see the knob locations in low light situations,

but you can also jump from one preset to the next and see the setting of each

knob quickly.

The product also gives you one control over each effect:

FREQUENCY for

the Phaser, which shifts the range of the Phaser sweep, or

DELAY for the

Flanger, which scales all the delay times. This control will greatly change the

sound of the effects. It is independent of the modulation source selection.

In addition to using the Hot Hand to translate hand motion into a signal to

sweep the effects, other modulation sources that may be used are a Low

Frequency Oscillator

(LFO) that provides a periodic back and forth sweep,

a Sequencer that generates a repeating series of control levels, and an

Envelope Follower, which responds to the level of the guitar input signal.

The MOTION/SPEED control adjusts how fast all of these control sources act,

and the DEPTH control adjusts the range of the effect sweep.

There are three other features related to external “expression” control. First,

the EXPRESSION IN allows you to control the effects in the Control Box with an

external expression pedal. The

EXPRESSION OUT allows you to take the ﬁnal

effect modulation signal and use it to control other effects boxes that have an

Expression Input feature. Finally, the

SENSOR OUT jack allows you to send the

Hot Hand signal to other Source Audio Hot Hand products and control them

with a single motion sensor.

The ON/OFF pedal switch puts the effect in or out of the circuit. Another way

to toggle the effect state is to use the special

KNOCK mode. Tapping twice

in rapid succession with the knuckles of the hand wearing the ring sensor

will switch the effect from On to Off, or from Off to On. The taps should cor

respond roughly to a rate of

180 BPM. (The time between the taps must be

greater than ¼ of a second, and less than ½ second.) It is not necessary to

actually tap the ring itself on a solid surface. If you are wearing the sensor

on a headband, we do not advise using

KNOCK mode. KNOCK mode may be

enabled and disabled with a Back Page parameter.
