Latvia has come up with an unusual use for lightning

As it turns out, a common natural phenomenon may well be useful... in the music industry! The Latvian company, EricaSynths, has released an outlandish musical instrument.

«Dirty» sound is very common in modern music, so performers often do various tricks to help distort the sound. EricaSynths, which released the Plasma Drive synthesizer module, uses electrical discharges to create all sorts of audio effects. It is based on concepts developed by the brand Gamechanger Audio.

The tool is equipped with a control panel with broad functionality. One of the possibilities allows you to enhance the signal up to three thousand watts, which significantly affects the audio track. The control knob can be turned back at any time and the sound will return to its previous characteristics. Thus, we get a real controlled lightning bolt which appears in such an unusual role. The cost of the Plasma Drive will be about $350.
