Synthesisers

Notes: PatchBox is a series of small Eurorack modular systems that are designed to accompany other standalone or computer-based audio hardware. These small curated systems are a perfect way to get started in modular without having to invest in more than you currently need. PatchBox systems are housed in Synthrotek's own Bus Cheeks and are powered via our USB power supply. PatchBox systems can be powered via a portable battery, computer USB jack or USB wall dongle.

PatchBox 20 - Beat Crusher

The Beat Crusher system was designed to augment rhythm making devises such as drum machines, Pocket Operators, Volcas and DAWs. The DLY and Roboto are at the heart of the sound expansion and destruction. The OBEY module can 'beat detect' and send an envelope and gate (or clock) to the RND module which in turn can send well timed voltages to the DLY and Roboto. The clocks and random voltage and then be patched back into the drum machines clock input, resulting in unique and abstract beat production.

Modules:
OBEY - Envelope Follower
Roboto
Passive Mult
RND - Random
DLY - Delay
Housed in a Bus Cheeks with a USB Power. Includes USB to USB mini cable.

Notes: The Synthrotek Bi-Translator is a new mini 44HP synthesizer system available as a completely built and calibrated system or as a do-it-yourself-kit. This versatile a system lets your translate your artistic voice bi-coastally and really anywhere in between.

The Translator’s powerful multi-waveform sound generation starts with the two fully analog VCO modules. Paired with the two channels of the Low Pass Gate Module, the VCOs can operate as two independent voices or can be used together for deep complex modulation.

ADSR envelope generation is produced by the aptly named ADSR module which is a powerful-for-its-size 4HP module that produces the heartbeat functions and LFOs.
The RND module is compact power station of variable random voltages, setting time signatures and esoteric timing anomalies.

The Sequence 8 is provides simple to complex sequencing when combined with the RND and other control voltage producing variables.
The Bi-Translator System 44 takes on the best features of West Coast synthesis with its insistence on organic percussion. This takes shape in the advent of the precisely crafted Synthrotek Dual Low Pass Gate Module, the LPG. Ear and hand selected vactrols provide organic earth-toned sonic variations from paleo hand drums to skin stringed instruments and beyond to cathedral bells.

Expansive and unique signal processing is provided by the DLY delay module. The DLY, like its predecessor the ECHO, takes full potential of its digital and analog topography by pushing the edges of what delay can do. The DLY performs 50s-era slap back, traditional repeats and even caustic post-industrial clock degeneration.

The 1U Stereo Output Mixer allows for internal signal mixing but also doubles as a performance mixer that allows you to incorporate other electronic music gear into your set.

Modules:
ADSR
DLY: Delay Module
LPG: Low Pass Gate
RND: Random Module

Notes: Extensive filth on offer here with built-in sequencing and a comprehensive array of noise, sound generators and effects. Synthrotek claim it'll help you "clear a room faster than ever". Challenge accepted?

Supplier's Notes:
Clear a room faster than ever with the West Coast Noise System. The amount of insanity you can create from so few modules is incredible. It's analog drums, 8bit crunch and noise married to a sequencer. Be sonically devastating or intriguingly melodic.

The West Coast Noise System is powered by Synthrotek's Case Power Mini Yellow, which has the following amperage specs: +12v @1A; -12v @ 0.5A; +5v @ 1.5A
