Imagine a bass synth that feels like a TB-303 beamed in from a parallel universe, where gate signals dance through banana cables to birth hypnotic grooves without ever touching a traditional CV knob.
This compact desktop groovebox packs a single analog VCO with two waveshaping stages and a three-gate input for pitch sequencing via a 3-bit DAC, feeding into a squelchy 12dB/oct resonant lowpass filter that's pure acid nostalgia. A decay-only envelope generator—invertible per step—shapes the action, with an LFO driving one of its dual gate sequencers while X/Y inputs seed the other, each offering four outputs for intricate, evolving patterns across four tracks. Hands-on controls include clock speed, LFO rate/width, VCO wave mixer, filter cutoff/resonance, EG offset/decay, and overdrive, all in a sturdy 240x160x60mm wooden/metal/FR4 enclosure weighing just 1kg—powered by a 9V center-negative supply (included), with 3.5mm clock in/out and five banana cables to get patching right away. Stereo audio out, headphone jack, and audio in round out the connectivity for syncing into any rig.
Players love its organic, unpredictable sequences that spark endless experimentation, though some note the LFO's square wave limits certain textures—still, it's a standout for bassline wizards craving tactile analog chaos.
