Softpop

Softpop-front

Explore extensive organic reconfigurability The softPop can be played on its own, or it can process an external audio source through the filter, intuitively synchronizing to the incoming signal using the envelope follower. An extensive mini patch bay offers many possibilities for reconfiguration, and the 3 jacks A, B & C can be used to Softpop

Waver

I/O Waver has 7 inputs for mixing and modulating multiple signals. On the output side, it has a shape output and a pre-shaper mix output. All inputs and the mix out are DC coupled, meaning that the waver can also function as a powerful CV mixer with built-in offset, inversion, modulation, and feedback capabilities. Mix Waver

Softpop SP2

❤️ & 🧠 The heart of SP2 is an analog, modular synth replete with lush tones and a chaotic disposition. Its brain is a complex digital sequencer and quantizer that brings (some) order to the chaos. The analog heart and the digital brain support each other while also pushing their behaviors out of normal routines Softpop SP2

Ikarie

Two parallel filter cores can be modulated in sync for work in the stereo realm, set apart for unique stereo effects (with either mono or stereo signal at the base), or chained together to make a 24 dB filter. With only the mono output of the filter used, Ikarie behaves as a dual peak filter, Ikarie

Dark Matter

A Little Crazy. Untamed. Evocative and Deep and kind of Awful and Totally Beautiful It’s inspired by “no input” mixer feedback techniques that explore the complex natural behaviors of amplifier circuits pushed beyond their limits. Dark Matter brings this behavior to the modular synth, adds voltage control to everything, plus tons of patching options and Dark Matter

Aikido

In a modular system, Aikido is a central mixing hub and a powerful utility. Thanks to the envelope followers, it allows signals to interact and mix in new ways. Because the VCAs are DC coupled, Aikido can be used for flexible modulation routing as well. As a martial art, Aikido teaches you how to harness Aikido
