The Dave Smith DSM02 Character module’s effects, Girth, Air, Decimate, Hack, and Drive form the Character section of DSI’s acclaimed Prophet 12 and Pro 2 synthesizers and offer a unique and distinctive tone.

  • “Girth” provides low-frequency harmonic enhancement for adding weight and density.
  • “Air” provides high-frequency harmonic enhancement for adding definition and presence.
  • “Decimate” performs sample rate reduction for adding lo-fi grunge.
  • “Hack” is a bit crusher capable of trashing an otherwise clean signal nearly beyond recognition.
  • “Drive” adds overdrive and saturation, with warmth at one end of the knob and harmonic overload at the other.

The DSM02 is a 14 HP Eurorack-format module with interconnections made using 3.5 mm phone jacks. Two independent audio inputs and two independent audio outputs with shared control allow mono or stereo operation. A 24-bit, 96 kHz resolution digital signal path provides uncompromising signal fidelity.

If you’re looking to take your modular system into new sonic territory, the DSM02 is the way to go. It’s a fast and affordable way to inject your system with some serious mojo from two of the world’s most in-demand synths.
