Clicker Dual-Voice Impulse Synthesizer

Born from a collaboration between Ciat-Lonbarde's Peter Blasser and Jan St. Werner of Mouse on Mars, this dual-voice impulse synthesizer flips the script on traditional synth design by thriving in microsecond bursts rather than endless sustains.

Its symmetrical layout splits into two identical voices, each with a trigger input compatible with Ciat, standard, or Eurorack levels, plus dedicated manual trigger buttons for hands-on firing. Per-voice controls include pitch/timbre knobs, amplitude envelope shaping via dual AD generators, and Rob Hordijk-inspired Ringlers for rich ring modulation that handles high frequencies without decoupling caps for pure current flow. Central modulation knobs and CV jacks—two ins for pitch and envelope per side, plus three CV outs—enable cross-modulation and self-triggering feedback patches, with a blue button toggling between punchy click mode for percussion and longer music mode sounds. A stereo output and black ground jack keep patching straightforward on its compact, dimly lit panel that's the brand's smallest yet.

Early adopters praise its silent noise floor and wild, spectral-unfolding clicks that build dense, unpredictable textures, though some note the steep tactile learning curve typical of Ciat-Lonbarde's experimental ethos.
