February Update: Schlappy Patching with Stazma, Eric Schlappi live set in Portland

Posted by Eric Schlappi on

It appears to be a new year without any updates so far. Our main focus for the past month or so has been powering through prototypes with a mind to what we will show at Superbooth this year. Nothing to show publicly yet but we are testing a new analog module as well as several CMOS logic modules to expand on the four bit logic subsystem we started with the Nibbler. We are excited to announce that our friend Julien, perhaps better known as Stazma the Junglechrist, will be making a couple videos for us each month with the first...

The Nibbler is now available to order (also new shirts and an EP)

Posted by Eric Schlappi on

Hello all! The Nibbler is s a module about exploring the musicality of counting in binary. and it is now available for order on our website. We have a video overview below And our friend Stazma has one on his channel: It is a CMOS based four bit accumulator (which means it counts from 0 to 15 in binary) with separate gate outputs for each of the bits, an output for the carry signal, and two stepped analog outputs made from adding the bits together. It also has inputs for each bit as well as a built in shift register....

November Update 1: Bries extensive playthrough of the Three Body

Posted by Eric Schlappi on

Bries has just uploaded his "extensive playthrough" of the Three Body, and by that we mean a feature film length deep dive on the Three Body with some really nice patches and a few features I'm not sure have been covered anywhere else.  He has done more than a few videos on the Three Body already actually, mostly short and highly musical patch breakdowns which you can find in a playlist here.

October Update: Brooklyn visit (Synth Expo and NYMS show) and production progress

Posted by Eric Schlappi on

So I've been back in Portland for a week plowing through production and prototyping tasks and am already about to leave again, just for a few days to Brooklyn. I will be playing a set at the Murder by Modulation event by New York Modular Society and the Trans Pecos on October 20th with several other fine modularists, then on October 21st and 22nd I will be attending the Brooklyn Synth and Pedal Expo in Greenpoint. For the expo I will have the new modules to demonstrate and I will have a selection of our current modules available for sale....

September 2023: Knobcon, updates

Posted by Eric Schlappi on

How did it get to be September already? Well, that means it's time for Knobcon! I (Eric) won't be there but Jay will, he has the Nibbler and Dual Vector Foil to show and all the other modules for sale. The new modules will be there, still no ETA, the modules have been functionally done for a while but I've been chasing my tail doing revisions mostly intended to make them easier to build and also easy to repair. This is your yearly reminder that coming up with an idea is like 5% of the work, making a working prototype...
