Metal Fetishist Desktop Percussion Synthesizer

Imagine a percussion synth that thrives on chaos, spitting out unpredictable rhythms from a single Daisy-powered chip, turning simple tweaks into industrial-grade beats that feel alive and unhinged.

This compact desktop unit packs a digital oscillator—switchable between square and sawtooth waves—blended with a white noise generator via a dedicated crossfader knob, all feeding into a resonant multimode filter with lowpass, highpass, and cutoff/resonance controls. Three decay envelopes shape pitch, cutoff, and volume, while the star is the onboard random sequencer: 0-32 steps with random skips, step modulation routable to pitch, noise, cutoff, and more, plus clock divider for wild audio-rate drones. Hands-on knobs for everything mean instant gratification; patch into Eurorack via 8 CV points (triggers, clock, pitch, cutoff, noise in/out), TRS MIDI clock, USB-C power, and a 1/4" audio input to process external drones through the filter and distortion—Corrosion overdrive or Rust downsampling for gritty aliasing. At 7.5 x 4.9 x 2.2 inches and under 1.8 lbs, it's a portable beat forger with a manual trigger button and included 9V PSU.

Since its 2024 debut, players love how the randomness unlocks endless glitchy percussion and fuzzy glitches without needing complex programming, though some note it shines brightest synced externally for full sequencing control.
