Old Blood Iota Tone Generator Review

The Iota OBNE is a synthesizer built in pedal format, designed in collaboration with Andy Othling. It uses an oscillator and a flexible sequencer to create repeating note patterns based on your selected root note, scale intervals, octave, and range.

You can adjust the oscillator voice, blend in white noise, add pitch vibrato, glide between notes, and shape each note with an adjustable volume envelope. Skip and hold functions offer both random behavior and preset patterns, while swing adds rhythmic variation. With expression control, MIDI support, stereo output, and onboard presets, the Iota offers extensive control for pedalboard setups and desktop music production.
