          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/doboz/dvna/">&lt;p&gt;DVNA is a compact synthesizer built for creating rich harmonic textures with minimal effort. Play a single key and get a chord, or intervals of your choice across its four oscillators — monophonic input, polyphonic results.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A built-in note quantizer locks your pitch to any of 25 scales, while the tuning modes let you dial in everything from fixed chord voicings to free microtonal tuning. Oscillator mixing and stereo panning are controlled through morphing systems, so a single knob sweep transforms your entire mix at once. The signal then flows through a stereo multi-mode filter, overdrive, and a choice of reverb or delays.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 12-key capacitive keyboard responds to finger contact area, generating a continuous pressure signal that can be routed throughout the instrument. DVNA also accepts MIDI over TRS, syncs to MIDI clock, and responds to MIDI CC for external control. 128 presets capture all parameters, keeping your favorite patches ready to recall instantly.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <title>Quord</title>

          <link>https://synthesizer.garden/soundworkshop/quord/</link>
          <guid>https://synthesizer.garden/soundworkshop/quord/</guid>
          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/soundworkshop/quord/">&lt;p&gt;Quord is a four-voice sawtooth drone synthesizer and &quot;harmony exploration machine&quot; designed for ear-based tuning. It features a resonant filter that acts as a fifth voice, a distortion circuit, and long-throw sliders for precise manual control over harmonic intervals.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The long sliders control four pitches. Carefully slide them to find pockets where two, three, or more voices sit together - either with ease or with tension. The pitch ranges of the oscillators are limited from bass to alto to allow for some tuning precision by hand. Quord lacks a traditional keyboard. Instead you play it by tuning the oscillators. If Quord were an acoustic instrument, it would be like a guitar that you play by retuning the strings.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The four short mixer sliders combine the sawtooth voices into one sound stream. The mix flows into a filter (yellow) followed by a distortion (red). The filter tames the sound before the distortion adds edge, highlights beating rhythms, and glues the sound together.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Surprisingly, the resonance works great as a fifth voice. At the right settings, it latches onto overtones of the blended sawtooth waves, combining to make a new musical scale that always complements the drone. Simple melodies can be teased out for ancient campfire music.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/soundworkshop/wiggler/">&lt;p&gt;Wiggler is an expressive monosynth that aims to bring the emotional gestures of acoustic instruments into the world of synthesizers. Think of it like a synth that evolved from a wooden flute instead of a piano. The keys can wobble for vibrato and push for dynamics. Its main purpose is to play melodies with emotion.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wiggler&#x27;s design is inspired by standalone instruments like the Minimoog and Microbrute. It has just enough features to make it immediately fun, and all the outputs to take expressive control of your favorite synthesizer. All parameters live on the surface of the panel, with dedicated controls and no button combos.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The diatonic keybed has 8 touch-sensitive keys in a single scale plus an upper octave root note, with sharp&#x2F;flat buttons for accidentals and three programmable scale presets. A flexure-mounted keybed with hall effect sensors enables 2D expressive control — wobble for vibrato, push for volume. The firmware runs on an STM32-based Electrosmith Daisy Seed with octave buttons spanning bass to guitar range.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

Dubbed &quot;Beauty and the Beast,&quot; this unique filter box combines the precision of a smooth analog recreation of the classic 2045 Lowpass filter with the bold, dynamic character of Stylophone&#x27;s proprietary GEN R-8 filter.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The DF-8 is much more than a dual filter box. It&#x27;s a sound design tool, equipped with two white noise sources, a sample-and-hold modulation source with adjustable slew, and a crunchy PT2399 delay with modulation. It serves as a versatile sound source capable of everything from subtle atmospheres to all-out sonic chaos.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With two channels and eight filter types — including Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass, Notch, and three hybrid modes (Bandpass +, Notch+, Bandstop +) — the DF-8 delivers an expansive tonal range, from smooth sweeps to snarling distortion.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like all CPM units, the CPM DF-8 is designed for portability and flexibility. Stylophone&#x27;s unique enclosure design with side ribs allows multiple CPM units to be locked together, for stability like a large modular, and for easy insertion into a Eurorack desk. It also features a built-in 2W speaker, 6 AA battery slots, and multiple 3.5 mm in&#x2F;outs.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/melancholytron/melancholytron/">&lt;p&gt;The Melancholytron is a book and a synthesizer, developed around a single emotional state — melancholy. It comes as a large, coffee-table-style book of 72 pages containing stories, illustrations, and poems that explore melancholy from different angles, alongside a brief introduction to the phenomenon and its translation into sound.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The included synthesizer features 25 non-velocity-sensitive keys, 5-note polyphony, and approximately 300 shades of melancholic sound. Each preset consists of individual samples for each key, with a minimum of 25 samples per preset. Some presets extend across a wider range of octaves through additional sampling.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The sounds are shaped using eight real-time controls — Darkness, Context, Waiting, Linger, Clouding, Stress, Weight, and Focus — adjusting qualities such as weight, brightness, darkness, depth, and the way a sound emerges and lingers over time. A looming volume slider allows for gradual swells and careful placement within a musical context.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Connections on the back include MIDI In, MIDI Thru (configurable as MIDI Out), mono jack audio output, and 9–15V DC power input.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Eight real-time controls — Darkness, Context, Waiting, Linger, Clouding, Stress, Weight, and Focus — allow nuanced shaping of each sound. A single volume slider provides direct control over the output level. The instrument is MIDI-controlled via MIDI In and MIDI Thru (configurable as MIDI Out), with a mono jack audio output and 9–15V DC power input.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each preset maps dedicated samples to each key, with samples lasting 3–16 seconds, creating a deeply expressive and contemplative playing experience.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/neutrallabs/luna/">&lt;p&gt;Luna is the first serious Lunetta synthesizer, a semi-modular instrument based on exposed CMOS logic chips. Inspired by the subterranean DIY culture of the 1970s and 80s, Luna channels raw digital chaos into musical sound through 5 oscillators, a chaotic array of logic blocks (XOR, NOT, AND gates, shift registers, counters, multiplexer), and 3 organic low-pass gates that transform binary noise into percussive punches, bongos, and basslines.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The exposed CMOS inputs and outputs let you physically intervene in the synthesis itself — patch, bend logic, and rewire the brain of the synthesizer. Audio output passes through 3 low-pass gates with adjustable decay and trigger mode, plus gain and tilt EQ. A suite of 13 effects (drive, delay, reverb, 6 filter types, bitcrusher, phaser, chorus, comb filter) can be freely assigned to 2 effect slots running in series.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Available as both a desktop semi-modular synth and a 42 HP Eurorack module. Features CV control for effects and 2 oscillators, MIDI control over 2 oscillators, and 2 sequencers with up to 64 steps syncable to clock or MIDI.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/nystrom-instruments/hum2/">&lt;p&gt;The HUM 2 is a sensory, multi-timbral synthesizer designed for expressive performance and sonic exploration. The synth provides three independent voices that allow you to create complex textures and control three separate sequences simultaneously.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each voice can be assigned independent synthesis engines, with a wide range of synthesis modes including subtractive synthesis, FM, wavetables, organ and experimental engines. All three voices are controlled with touchpads for expressive control.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The HUM 2 features six built-in sensors — distance, light, tilt X&#x2F;Y, and touch 1&#x2F;2 — mappable to any knob for interactive modulation. Three independent 64-step sequencers create generative patterns or fixed loops, with generated notes quantized to one of 17 scale options. Four LFOs are mappable to any knob, with independent sends to built-in delay, reverb and overdrive effects.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Connectivity includes 3 CV outputs, 2 CV inputs, sync in&#x2F;out, MIDI in&#x2F;out, headphone out, L&#x2F;R line out, and MIDI + audio over USB.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/pure-magnetik/etches-soundscape-palette/">&lt;p&gt;Etches is a layered soundscape synthesizer designed for performance-based sound design. It&#x27;s a palette for playing with sound, sketching melodic sections and building evolving tapestries. The instrument moves between cinematic washes, percussive pizzicatos, and atmospheres worn smooth through ambient processing.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Inspired by live modular techniques, Etches is built upon classic synthesis and tape music traditions. Its main engine includes a monophonic voice generator, a complex oscillator, a splice recorder with overdub capability, and an internal LFO that modulates splice behavior. Built-in spatial processing includes a tape-style delay and stereo reverb. Musical overdrive with soft clipping rounds out the signal path.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Control is designed around direct performance interaction rather than traditional synthesis parameters. Four touch-sensitive articulation pads provide control over contour, timbre-shaping, and animation. A touch keyboard accepts note input, while eleven scale and mode options keep performance locked to the chosen key. The 160-second multi-splice recorder captures and layers sounds for evolving compositions.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Etches is built as exposed PCB hardware — two PCBs joined by standoffs — keeping it affordable while showcasing the instrument as the object itself. It runs on a standard Boss-style 9V power supply and features a 3.5mm stereo output.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/recovery/larking/">&lt;p&gt;Larking is a 4 voice polyphonic ambient drone synthesizer that redefines what a playable synth can be. Pitch is quantized, with each voice locking to a selectable key and one of eight musical modes for consistent harmonic control.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is built for immediate tactile performance and sound exploration, functioning as a sound design tool, performance instrument, and central voice in effects-based setups. It integrates easily into pedalboard systems and complex signal chains. Without traditional keys, it shifts focus from fixed patterns to guided harmonic discovery. Voices can be triggered via onboard controls, MIDI, or CV&#x2F;gate triggering, supporting hands-on playing, modular systems, and sequencing.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each voice features independent pitch control that snaps to scale degrees, enabling open-ended melodic movement within a stable musical framework. At its core is a morphing tonal engine. The Shape control moves each voice from a warm sine-like foundation into harmonic saturation with analog style overtones, grit, and complexity, delivering a deep resonant low end with strong weight and bass response. Attack and Decay shape voice response from percussive rhythmic strikes to slow evolving swells that dissolve into space.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A global LFO modulates pitch across all voices, from subtle drift to extreme instability. Onboard reverb expands everything into a deep spatial field and atmospheric wash. The result is an instrument between a melodic synth, drone machine, and experimental performance tool, grounded in musical structure and open to pitch-based exploration.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Designed and assembled in Seattle, Washington. Operates on a standard 9Vdc Boss-style power supply (not included).&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/distropolis-goods/great-conjunction/">&lt;p&gt;GREAT CONJUNCTION is a generative sequencer and synthesizer that utilizes a vintage Yamaha YM2413 FM sound chip for onboard sound reproduction.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It creates melodic, chaotic, rhythmic, glitchy, soothing, hypnotic, curiously evolving atmospheres and polyrhythmic puzzles.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;General Features include:&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3 independent, 1-32 step generative sequencers&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;random, euclidean &amp;amp; cellular automata algorithms for event distribution&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;8 parameters per sequencer (with additional sub-parameters)&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;variable evolution, per parameter, per sequencer&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;independent sub-division for each sequencer&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;monophonic or 3-note chord modes for each sequencer&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;free running or MIDI re-trigger modes for each sequencer&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;external key mode with 9 note polyphony&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;full control over YM2413 FM synth parameters&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;100 presets synth sounds&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;10 save slots&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;full MIDI implementation for sequencer &amp;amp; synth parameters&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;independent MIDI In&#x2F;Out for each sequencer&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;12 knobs, 5 buttons&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;20×4 backlit LCD display&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;TRS &amp;amp; USB MIDI IN &amp;amp; OUT&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Send or receive MIDI clock on USB or TRS-A&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3D printed, semi-transparent enclosure&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;GREAT CONJUNCTION is NOT a deliberate instrument.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You cannot intentionally place notes or events in a sequence.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead, sequences are generated algorithmically using one of three methods (pseudo-random, euclidean or cellular automata).&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sequencer events trigger the internal YM2413 FM sound chip, and can trigger MIDI output.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Yamaha YM2413 chip is only capable of producing one custom sound. The three sequencers can send conflicting data to the YM2413, causing it to manifest tones that would be difficult or impossible to program directly.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/neutrallabs/scrooge/">&lt;p&gt;Scrooge is a sequenced malfunction generator, available as a 42 HP Eurorack module or semi-modular desktop synth. While you can convince it to deliver boomy kick drum sounds, clicky hi-hats or metallic snares, it would much rather be making glitchy artifacts, hollow crackles and horribly distorted growls. It contains a sophisticated and performance-oriented step sequencer with parameter locking and the possibility to control all steps across multiple tracks at once. Its 5 distinct and fully analog voices are made up of special circuits that work without dedicated power supplies, scrounging power from the sequencer control signals instead, which gives them an organic and unstable quality. As a bonus, it means you won’t have to power the unit itself if you sequence it from external gear.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;5 distinct analog voices&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;device can work passively without a power supply if sequenced from external gear&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;each voice can be routed to either of 2 main outputs (headphone compatible)&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;individual voice outputs&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;individual voice CV inputs that respond well to audio signals&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2 modulation tracks, individually routable to voices&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2 modulation CV inputs&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;onboard step sequencer&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;can sequence external gear&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;sync output&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;sync and reset inputs&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MIDI input (TRS type A)&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Scrooge is available as an assembled synth or Eurorack module, as well as a DIY kit. You can see more videos and photos on Instagram.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/tangible-waves/vmix-10/">&lt;p&gt;The VMIX-10 R2 is the successor of the popular VMIX-10; a mixer made especially with the Korg Volca series in mind; it offers the following features:&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6 mono input channels with minijack sockets each
2 stereo input channels with stereo minijack sockets for each
click-free mute buttons per channels
per channel: level, pan and two FX-send knobs
2 FX send-return sections (send mono, return stereo)
master level control
stereo headphone output with separate level control
four DC isolated 9V power supply outputs, for Volca synths or other devices. The DC isolation suppresses noise especially when powering Volcas from the VMIX-10 (an annoying effect caused by a design detail of the Volcas when powered commonly with the VMIX-10).&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The case size is identical with the Volca series, so the VMIX-10 should fit exactly in the Volca stands that are available from different suppliers.
It includes a power supply adapter with snap-on plugs for EU, UK and US (AU on request).&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/decadebridge/cadence/">&lt;p&gt;Cadence is a 4 oscillator, square wave generator. It can perform several different functions. Cadence can be used as a drone synth&#x2F;rhythmic drone synthesizer using the 4 onboard oscillators. Each is run through a “count” control that acts as a divider before passing through several logic gates and then into the, CV controlled, low pass filter before the main output. Oscillators can be synced to create more interesting timbres.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each oscillator can be routed to it’s own individual, or grouped, output bypassing the filter for separate processing. At low frequency rates (using count) these individual outputs can be used as gates for external&#x2F;modular equipment (creating interesting beats&#x2F;clock signals&#x2F;envelope triggers etc) but will also reset&#x2F;sync the synth’s other oscillators at the same time.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/df-audio/nano-e/">&lt;p&gt;NANO E is a low profile expression slider and CV attenuator, suitable for modular&#x2F;semi-modular gear and any synth or effects unit with an expression pedal input.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Designed with ergonomics in mind, NANO E sits neatly on the side of a keyboard at a comfortable height, so it can be played just like a mod wheel.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It ships with a B50K slider installed and a spare B20K slider that can be easily swapped out (no soldering required). This allows you to get the perfect response curve for you synth and playing style.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For additional control, engaging the PAD switch puts the input signal through a 25K resistor, which can be particularly handy when using NANO E with CV.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With an A10K slider (sold separately), NANO E can also be used as a simple volume control.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/df-audio/nanopatch-m/">&lt;p&gt;NANOPATCH M is unique among DF Audio patch bays in that it does not require insert cables for connecting to external gear (although this is also an option).&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It has eight 3.5 mm jacks on the back&#x2F;side (four TRS and four TS) which correspond to eight 3.5 mm TS sockets on the top panel, and normalling switches.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NANOPATCH M is ideal for connecting to instruments and a mixer when used together with NANOPATCH X, and is a great companion to MINIBAY V2 (to connect to small instruments with minijack  audio outputs).&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It also works with CV, so it can be a useful tool for instruments with patch points in hard-to-reach places (e.g. Moog Grandmother).&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It has four 6.35 mm TRS sockets on the back, each of which break out to two 3.5 mm TS sockets on the top panel (identical wiring to the MINIBAY V2 FX rows).&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Use insert cables to connect up to four effects pedals via the rear sockets and get patchable access to the ins and outs on the top panel.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It can also be used as a breakout box for devices that output CV over TRS sockets.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/toggleboss/crunch-e/">&lt;p&gt;Crunch-E is a keychain form factor music-making platform that is both limited and limitless. The current software supports 4 tracks, 10 synth instruments, and 2 drum machine banks, but who knows where developers will take the open-source software next?&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Crunch-E hardware comes in a few flavors. You can build it yourself on the cheap or use the schematic to design your own PCB.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Crunch-E hardware consists of an ESP32 microprocessor, a MAX98357A I2S sound amplifier, 4 LEDs, and an LM1117 power regulator. It can be obtained in a fully manufactured and very sleek form, or it can be built out of development and breakout boards (ESP32 dev boards, MAX98357 breakout boards, and Arduino keypads can all be purchased on AliExpress or Amazon for a reasonable price).&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/poetasterstonetoys/keep/">&lt;p&gt;The keep, though mini, contains a self-sequencer and two voices. The first voice is a simple pulse, from a Hex Schmitt-Trigger, fed through a vactrol (diy) which can be modulated. The second voice is the result of the two FM inputs of an XR2206 which can be switched (quickly, too!) chained, amplitude modulated and tuned between sine and triangle output. So, two voices the second of which can quickly switch character!&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The sequencer is the primary pulse wave fed into a 4040 binary ripple counter. And mixed, or tapped at each output. 4 of the higher frequency outputs are mixed via two pots. Which you can add more inputs to. Or tap. Using a simple linear pot means that you can create patterns consisting of multiple 4040 outputs overlapping.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In short a &#x27;nearly&#x27; digital cousin to the kastle.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/timelessgarden/horizon/">&lt;p&gt;Horizon celebrates a world of ambiguous dualities~~ harmony&#x2F;chaos, smooth&#x2F;stepped, intuitive&#x2F;practiced, manual&#x2F;automatic. Built around an invertible heirarchy of pinged-filter cores, and a resonant garden of delays and filters. A rapid and responsive playing surface, smoothly blurring between textures or precisely sculpting a spectral landscape. Honed musicians and freeform experimentalists alike will find their own personal expressions within.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At centre, two Mountains of pinged filters, cross-coupled with smooth and stepped frequency modulation. These pings flow into a resonant filterbank and stereo delays, guided and recirculated by Tide sliders. The filterbank follows the path of 5 Bird sliders, collecting resonances from a playful just-intoned scale generator. Between these worlds flow Currents controlled by the touch surface, capable of wrangling chaos into pure tones or latching into sequences for otherwise busy hands. As the Tides ebb and flow, sequence &amp;amp; delay times are modulated in rhythmic&#x2F;harmonic steps transforming relationships and shifting priorities.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sitting proudly at the centre of a performance, or nestled into a larger setup with Eurorack CV i&#x2F;o. Process external sounds, or use global feedback for an added layer of unpredictability.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <guid>https://synthesizer.garden/jolin/avalith/</guid>
          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/jolin/avalith/">&lt;p&gt;AVALITH is a drone synthesizer with a matrix of 100 raw oscillators in an open design configuration framed by a four-pole analog lowpass filter&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;100 Transistor-Based Oscillators with 20 different oscillation frequencies divided into 10 banks of which all have a control wheel potentiometer, starve input, dedicated output and an assignable performance-oriented button.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A Dupont patchbay with 200 access points for an open design approach.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;4-Pole resonant variable state lowpass filter with dedicated CV controls.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Master Starve control with CV input.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Global envelope and peak CV output.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hi-Z Preamp with pre&#x2F;post filter switch for auxiliary input.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;High-quality headphone driver – 3.5mm stereo jack.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Standalone with a custom black aluminium riveted case.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Flexible power solutions to enhance portability: USB C power delivery (20V) or barrel brick (18-24V).&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It can power another small compatible eurorack case or pod (male-male cable included)&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Eurorack ready with front-panel selector switch.&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AVALITH operates on the principle of utilizing transistors in a state known as negistors, which is similar to the concept used in its predecessor, Tabor.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fundamental aim of Avalith is to produce a dense and immersive &#x27;wall of sound&#x27; by manipulating pure electrical signals. This involves incorporating waves of various amplitudes and frequencies and then combining them to create a monolithic undertow. With 100 open and amorphous oscillators, Avalith seeks to recreate the creative environment that led to Tabor&#x27;s inception, allowing users to patch them individually or in banks.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These oscillators are grouped into sets of ten, each featuring frequency controls, internal patch bays, dedicated I&#x2F;O sockets, and arrays of performance-oriented buttons for customizable functions.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &#x27;starve&#x27; control regulates voltage entering the transistors to induce the negistor state, adjustable at both individual bank and master levels via control voltage.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Its filter system includes an analog variable state 4-pole lowpass filter with resonance and frequency controls, complemented by dedicated CV inputs and an attenuverter for external control.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Avalith also includes a built-in input preamp with routing options, enabling users to incorporate external audio sources into their sound design process. This feature expands the creative possibilities of Avalith by allowing the blend of external sounds with the synthesized signals generated by the oscillators.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a standalone desktop unit, Avalith boasts an innovative hybrid power supply utilizing USB-C Power Delivery (20V), with the DC barrel plug doubling as an output to power another compatible eurorack case, making it perfect for outdoor use with a PD power bank. Additionally, Avalith can also accept power from a standard power brick (from 18V to 24V) if USB-C Power Delivery is not available.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When integrated into an eurorack system, Avalith is 68HP wide, with the power selector toggle also serving as an on&#x2F;off switch.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/landscape/ferrous/">&lt;p&gt;Made to resonate steel stringed instruments. Ferrous’ spinning disc contains six strong earth magnets. Adjusting the rotational speed of the disc will change which strings are most affected and their harmonic content. If the disc is spinning slowly lower strings resonate; if the disc is spinning quickly higher strings will resonate louder. The results can sound like an unknown instrument in a reverberated physical space, floating sine wave tones, or feedback. Fluctuation of rotation speed by using the thumbwheel, rev button, touch-plate or control voltage input can create a soft strumming effect across multiple strings or shifts in harmonic content. New harmonics and overtones can emerge from both lower and higher strings as the disc spins faster. The distance at which Ferrous is held from strings affects how strongly they will resonate and their harmonics. If Ferrous is placed near guitar pickups you will hear the heavy sounds of the magnets and the motor with the resulting pitch based upon the disc’s RPM.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/bastl/thymeplus/">&lt;p&gt;THYME+ is a digital tape machine that transcends typical delay effects and spans across various multi-effect categories. Though proudly digital, THYME+ operates with the metaphor of an analog tape delay machine, offering adjustable tape speed and positions of the read heads. Multiple read heads (multi-tap) enhance density and complexity, while feedback and filters govern the richness or darkness of the echo tails.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each sound effect parameter comes with its own dedicated Robot, offering a modulation source that extends beyond an LFO with envelope follower, external CV modes, and waveshaping. Yes, that means 9 parameters and 9 modulations – a universe of sounds to explore, whether through manual tweaking or with the assistance of finely tuned randomizers.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THYME+ adds a lot of unique spice and texture to your audio sources, capable of transforming them into a sound designer&#x27;s dream. Integration into larger setups is a breeze with MIDI, analog clock, and CV inputs. THYME+ even brings in a footswitch input for instrumentalists.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At its core, THYME+ features 8 preset buttons that store custom effect settings of its flexible processing chain. The presets can be played manually like an instrument or sequenced by the onboard sequencer. Therefore, not only are the presets interesting, but also the transitions between them!&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THYME+ represents an updated and innovated version of the iconic THYME released in 2017. Alongside improved connectivity, a better audio codec, and a few firmware tweaks and refinements, the new version’s hardware is enhanced with a compact metal enclosure, larger knobs, and a sleeker faceplate.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/poetasterstonetoys/rampart/">&lt;p&gt;Rampart is a mini-modular synth and experimental box built around the Arduino Nano or the slightly faster and better equipped LGT8F328P – LQFP32.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rampart is designed to allow you to build synths that can be controlled with CV input or produce CV. It has audio&#x2F;clk input and output, the input being pocket operator compatible. The kit includes a lgt8f328p which has slightly better features than the original Arduino Nano.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’ve been making the original variant for years as a means to creating small synths to interact with other small synths like &lt;a href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;synthesizer.garden&#x2F;bastl&#x2F;&quot;&gt;bastl’s&lt;&#x2F;a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;synthesizer.garden&#x2F;bastl&#x2F;kastle&#x2F;&quot;&gt;Kastle&lt;&#x2F;a&gt;.

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/hexhaus/row/">&lt;p&gt;HEX row is an analogue dual resonant filter with versatile routing capabilities, sidechain&#x2F;envelope follower and mischievous character, stemming from (mis)use of transistors as variable resistors in the signal route.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are two channels, each controlled by three potentiometers: GAIN (2), RES (3), FREQ (4) and sidechained by CENTER (5). Both channels have the same topology. Inputs •| and |• are fed into each channel’s gain stage and then passed to their filters. The input signal level can be adjusted by setting the GAIN which can either attenuate or amplify a signal x20. Note that the amplification affects the filter’s behaviour—high GAIN disrupts self-oscillation, conjuring PLL-esque harmonics and other sound design artefacts. FREQ and RES are used to manipulate individual filter’s cutoff frequency and resonance. Each channel has a side-mounted switch (6) for selecting low-pass or band-pass filtering. Touch the golden touch pads (1) to manually route the flow of audio and control voltages.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SIDECHAIN – Left channel’s (•I, •O) post-gain signal is filtered and fed into an envelope follower. Envelopes polarity and amplitude are adjusted by using CENTER. The adjusted envelope is then mixed in the right
(|•, O•) channel’s FREQ parameter. Left half of the CENTER causes the filter to “duck” and the right half produces a gating response. In the middle position, the sidechain effect is inactive.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was frustrated with my pocket operators and got some inspiration from picokore. Because I’d like to swap things in the design I decided to make a slightly bigger thing where you can actually get at all the pins. Also, I decided to make a design where you can swap the use of the SDA&#x2F;SCL pins between a DAC and a display. I also wanted to add a way to move the grooves when chaining with Pocketoperators without the hassle. With scarp, it’s a few simple movements to modify the groove while your playing live.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Ten discrete send and return channels for effects and instruments&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Additional main instrument channel switchable between two effects chains&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;TRS connections support stereo, mono, and balanced audio signals&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Includes twelve custom 10-inch mini patch cables (TRS)&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Passive design for routing all types of signals&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Patchulator Pro is an evolution of Boredbrain’s iconic desktop and pedalboard patchbay, purpose-built for experimental signal routing of guitar pedals, effects, synths and more. The patchbay has ten individual effects channels, plus a main instrument channel capable of switching between two parallel effects chains or bypassing them entirely.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;atchulator Pro’s ten numbered channels are primarily used for pedals or effects processors, and allow chains of effects to be created on-the-fly using a few mini patch cables. First, the inputs and outputs of pedals and effects are connected to the send (gray) and return (black) 1&#x2F;4-inch jacks on the rear of the patchbay. Then using the top 3.5 mm jacks labeled SND and RCV, signals can be routed freely through the effects channels to make a chain.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, instrument sources (and destinations) can also connect to any of these ten channels for direct patch access if the dedicated MAIN I&#x2F;O instrument channel is not enough.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Eight pairs of ¼-inch send and return connections&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Eight pairs of 3.5 mm patch points for signal routing&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;TRS connections support stereo or mono applications&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Passive design accepts all types of signals including CV&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Includes eight 6-inch mini patch cables (TRS)&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Patchulator is the ultimate tool for quick experimental signal routing of guitar pedals, synths and more. The patchbay is designed to easily re-order audio effects, swap effects between instruments, and make quick changes to the flow of signals.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is your pedalboard brain-dead? The Patchulator provides a tangle-free way to change the order of your effects to create new tones using little to no brainpower! With the provided mini cables, just patch signal from your guitar or bass into (and out of) each effect, then back out to your amp or mixer. Invent new and interesting sounds while your synapses are firing, simply by rearranging the sequence of effects! All your gear and cabling stays put. Oh, and any effect not patched is “truly” bypassed… Genius!&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are your cables giving you a brain freeze? In the world of electronic music, the Patchulator desktop patchbay becomes a powerful nerve center for your instruments, allowing you to share and swap effects all around your setup, without needing to solve a brainteaser. Just connect your keyboards, synthesizers, samplers, drum machines (or any sound source) to a few channels, then fill the other channels with your effects’ ins and outs. Using the mini patch cables, you can then route any of the effects into and out of the signal path of any instrument, just like a real patch bay! Hmmm… what will you mastermind?&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the world of modular synthesizers, the Patchulator is the brainstem between your modules and outboard gear, since it uses both standard and mini phono plugs. So if your brain tissue needs some electro-stimulation, simply inject control voltages and audio signals directly from your modular into effects units and chains. Better yet, use two Patchulators and seriously expand your cranial capacity! Whatever it is that you can brainstorm – guitar pedals and studio effects, synths and samplers, grooveboxes and drum machines, modulars and modulation signals, mixers and recording interfaces – the Patchulator allows it all to interconnect.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <title>HEX cor</title>
          <pubDate>Fri, 24 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
          <author>synthesizer.garden</author>
          <link>https://synthesizer.garden/hexhaus/cor/</link>
          <guid>https://synthesizer.garden/hexhaus/cor/</guid>
          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/hexhaus/cor/">&lt;p&gt;HEX cor is a digital polyphonic synthesizer with a capacitive keyboard, potentiometers for signal modulation and an adaptable looper that through its unusual shape explores new ways of interaction and sound synthesis.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Touch the golden capacitive pads to trigger the tones. There are many ways of playing – slide your fingers over the pads and try touching multiple pads at the same time (to generate chaotic clouds of sound).&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are three potentiometers dedicated to sound manipulation. OCTAVE, DECAY and WAVEFORM settings can be adjusted to produce sounds ranging from thick drones, bass stabs and 8-bit bleeps to techno hi-hats.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are two selectable scales that can be chosen by rotating OCTAVE to min position. Scales are then chosen by positioning the WAVEFORM—left half selects C major and the right C minor. To exit scale choosing mode rotate OCT out of the extremities. By default cor boots tuned to C major.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;RECORD &amp;amp; TWEAK
By now you have probably played some improvised melodies and want to start recording. HEX’s looper has a total length of 256 steps. Use the LENGTH potentiometer to adjust the desired length of the loop window – ranging from 8 to 256 steps (in increments of 8). The blinking LED on the left side of LENGHT indicates the tempo&#x2F;sync pulse (it blinks on every second step of the loop) while the LED to its right indicates the end of the loop.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I &#x2F;O
The switch next to the 3.5mm stereo jack (10) sets the output to either dual mono or sync (R) + mono (L) mode. This enables other sync-able devices to sync to HEX.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;POWER
HEX can be powered via the USB C socket (11) using a USB power adapter&#x2F;power bank.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/hexhaus/lag/">&lt;p&gt;Hex lag is a digital sound processing instrument with signal modulating potentiometers and an interactive tactile surface for direct sound control. It digitally simulates analogue bucket brigade delay chips (typical of chorus, flanger and karplus-strong), but also enables pitch-shifting, downsampling, etc.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is a triple header row next to the input jack for interfacing with external control voltages. The top pin is connected to GND, the middle to SPREAD and the bottom to RATE potentiometer. Both SPREAD and RATE expect a unipolar signal 0-5V.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/critterandguitari/201pocketpiano/">&lt;p&gt;At the heart of the 201 are six sound engines providing a wide range of sonic texture. Use the shift key to select an engine. There is a little bit of everything: chiptune style waveforms, analog style filters, drum samples, realistic physical instrument models, and even a human vocal synthesizer. Use the three center control knobs to further explore the sounds. Dial in the right amount of sustain, or adjust the tone. Or turn the &#x27;surprise&#x27; knob if you are brave!&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Play directly on the keyboard or turn on one of the pattern generators. From simple octave arpeggiation to randomizing polyphonic patterns you will be inspired by the notes coming out of the 201! Use the first control knob to set the pattern&#x27;s tempo.
The pattern generators also work great for creating drum beats using the drum samples!&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you like the way something sounds, recording it is just a button press away! There is a handy metronome that you can play&#x2F;record along with. When the sequence is playing back you can endlessly change the pattern and synth engine. When you get it just right, hit the save button. You can save &#x27;unlimited&#x27; sequences (well... not really unlimited, but many thousands).Then recall saved sequences easily using the navigation buttons.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/recovery/ghostwriter/">&lt;p&gt;Audio to MIDI Device&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ghost Writer is a pedal that transforms the notes you play into MIDI data. This means you can connect to a synth and literally play your synthesizer from your guitar. You can also trigger phrases or samples, and add functionality to your MIDI-equipped pedals.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Independent controls allow you to toggle audio and MIDI signals or use both. The monophonic MIDI data is automatically assigned to MIDI Channel 1, and transmitted through a &lt;em&gt;3.5mm TRS MIDI cable&lt;&#x2F;em&gt; on the back of the pedal. The audio is processed through a high-quality buffer stage to ensure no loss of signal.
.
Ghost Writer provides a simple way to interact with your synths and MIDI-equipped gear as you play. It’s an essential tool for creative musicians who are on the search for innovation.
Designed and assembled in Seattle, Washington. Operates on a standard 9Vdc Boss-style power supply (not included). Includes a one-year limited warranty if registered within 30 days of delivery.
.
You will need a 3.5mm &quot;Type A” connector. Some connectors do not specify if they are “Type A” or &quot;Type B&quot;, so we recommend using the Recovery-branded and tested cable that we offer. Type A cable sold separately here: Recovery MIDI cable&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/bastl/softpop2/">&lt;p&gt;Softpop SP2 is a radical subtractive synth under the influence of unconventional digital control. It’s a rare beast that excels at both melody and noise in equal measure.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SP2’s favorite sounds include bassline bangers, angelic chord progressions, distorted beats, and water droplets. Softpop also has an external input with enough gain and saturation to process any sound thru the filter and VCA.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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 in surprising ways.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Four independent channels with 1&#x2F;4-inch in-out and send-return&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Half-normal configuration for copying and replacing signals&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Compact design with top-mounted patch points&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;TRS connections support stereo or mono applications&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Terminal adds routing flexibility to signal chains of guitar pedal effects, electronic instruments and other audio devices. The half-normal patchbay is designed to easily copy signals, insert effects into primary signal paths, and re-route signals to alternate destinations.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This simple but very useful design was originally a custom project for musician Tycho, who is using Terminal in his studio and live rigs to quickly patch between sections of pedal and instrument chains. Community interest in the product led Boredbrain to produce Terminal in limited batches, and then due to its popularity, it has now become a mainstay.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Bastl Midilooper is an experimental device that will help you do just that. It listens to control information about notes, dynamics, and other parameters, and it loops them in a way an audio looper would process pieces of audio. Since the MIDI loops remain in the control domain, many other processes can happen simultaneously on top of them - so you can explore timbre modulation, envelope adjustments, and way more.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/oficinadesonido/eskite/">&lt;p&gt;Eskite is a granular synthesizer based on the Auduino synthesizer. His heart is an Atmega 328 microcontroller and is programmed using the Arduino platform.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Using the technique of granular synthesis, the sound is generated by playing the same noise (&#x27;sound grain&#x27;) repeatedly at a very high speed. This merges into a tone that is an audible hybrid of the repetition rate and the original grain. It sounds quite similar to an oscillator with two resonating bandpass filters, although the different architecture means there are lots of additional interesting noises at parameter extremes.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The grain consists of two triangular waves of adjustable frequency, and adjustable decay rate. This is based on FOF synthesis model, but using triangle waves instead of sine and using a rectangular window.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The repetition rate is set by another potentiometer. Eskite has six different modes or scales: logarithmic, diatonic, C major and minor and C pentatonic major and minor switchable between modes by a button which cycles through them and differentiates by blinking an LED according to the mode number. The sound also controls a LED that allows the output signal to be displayed.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/boredbrain/intrfxv2/">&lt;p&gt;Eurorack FX interface&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;INTRFX facilitates effects processing between eurorack, guitar pedals and electronic instruments. Inside this small pedal-sized device are three channels of level and format conversion, voltage-controlled effects mix, and a unique mode switching feature for flexible operation.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3 channels of send &amp;amp; return level conversion&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Per-channel selection of eurorack thru pedals or instrument thru eurorack&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;FX blend control with CV input&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Capable of FX feedback and linear VCA functionality&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Small tabletop form-factor&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Want to connect outboard gear to your eurorack synthesizer without taking up valuable HP in your case? INTRFX allows eurorack-level signals to be processed with pedals and&#x2F;or outboard effects, and also allows line-level instruments to be processed with eurorack modules. Each of its three channels has an Interchange Switch to swap this mode, as well as an FX Blend parameter which can be controlled via CV. And because of its compact physical design, the INTRFX can be placed almost anywhere and connected to eurorack systems with 3.5 mm patch cables rather than bulkier 1&#x2F;4-inch cables.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Feedback effects can be achieved by switching into the “wrong” mode, sending the FX return back into the FX send, while still allowing for dry signal blend and modulation. Channels can also be patched into one another and toggled between modes for experimental routing. Conveniently, each channel can operate as a reversed linear VCA for both audio and DC signals when no effects are used.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whether you’re patching eurorack through classic guitar pedals or running a drum machine through your gnarliest modules, INTRFX makes these connections easy and flexible.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/landscape/hc-tt/">&lt;p&gt;The HC-TT is a compact cassette manipulation device which allows you to manually play a cassette with your hands. The resulting sound can be incredibly similar to scratching a vinyl record. Sound will only be produced while your hands are turning either of the large playback knobs. By turning these knobs you are directly rotating the cassette spindles which moves the tape across the internal tape head. The knobs “play” a regular cassette forwards and backwards. There is no motor in this device, so direction and speed is left to the performer. The illuminated touch switch is a momentary mute for both the mono audio output as well as the CV&#x2F;Gate outputs. The Arches and Moons touch plates allow for feedback and other strange interactions.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/landscape/stereofield/">&lt;p&gt;Stereo Field is one instrument with three uses. It is simultaneously a stereo&#x2F;quad modular touch plate feedback atonal synthesizer, a stereo&#x2F;quad audio processor and a pressure sensitive chaotic CV &quot;controller&quot;. All three uses are available separately as well as simultaneously and in conversation with each other. The Stereo Field allows its user to manipulate and patch two analog stereo preamp circuits via touch plates. By utilizing skin conductivity as new paths for current to follow you are creating &quot;new circuits&quot; and new sounds in relation to where your fingers are patching.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/critterandguitari/organelle/">&lt;p&gt;The dream behind the Organelle was to have a small and easy-to-use instrument that could perform any kind of sound synthesis imaginable. The Organelle excels at synthesizing sound. Between the synth patches that ship with the Organelle and the growing list of user-contributed patches there’s a bit of everything to play with: additive and subtractive synthesis, classic wave table sounds, granular, physical modeling, ADSR envelope style, frequency modulation, and more. The best part is that there’s always the option of creating your own synth in Pure Data too!&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Organelle comes in two flavors, Organelle S and Organelle M. The Organelle S is for musicians who like what they see and hear in the Organelle M but don&#x27;t need the portability of the M&#x27;s battery power and speaker.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In all other functions, the S is identical to the M. They share same patches, processor, RAM, audio &amp;amp; MIDI connections, keys, knobs, screen, microphone, HDMI output, USB ports, and power adapter.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

          <description xml:base="https://synthesizer.garden/koma-elektronik/kommander/">&lt;p&gt;CV&#x2F;Gate Motion Controller&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Kommander is a handheld dual infrared X-Y motion controller that makes controlling your electronic instruments intuitive and fun. The device measures the distance to other objects and sends out corresponding CV signals between 0 and 8 volts and a trigger with adjustable threshold. This helps you to interact better with your instruments and create complex synth sounds, trigger a drum machine, control your KOMA Field Kits or any other instrument that is capable of receiving CV &#x2F; Gate signals.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Kommander has a working range of around 40 – 50cm depending on how it is used.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The attenuators on the back panel allow you to attenuate the maximum voltage output, so you can e.g. set the range from 0V to 5V. Just plug the Kommander into your synthesizer and create! The Kommander ships with a 9V PSU.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
