Antilope

DesktopAnalog

Imagine pinging a pair of fully resonant filters to coax out glitchy, distorted rhythms that feel alive, like the machine is breathing feedback into your patches—this is the magic at the heart of the Antilope.

At its core, it's a 84HP Eurorack-compatible desktop unit just 35mm deep, powered via USB-C for easy portability, blending a dual pingable filter with a Sunn O))) Beta-inspired distortion stage featuring level/feedback VCAs and a three-band EQ emphasizing low-mids that can still scream on highs. A Spin FV-1 multi-FX handles echoes, flangers, pitch-shifted delays, and reverbs in a feedback loop, while stereo 3.5mm line in/out, headphone jack, and front-panel Eurorack-level jacks let you process external audio or integrate seamlessly. The sequencer shines with a three-channel pattern recorder using Cherry MX switches, outputting CV/gate switchable between morphable AD envelopes (20ms to 8s decay, exp-to-log shapes) or stepped voltages from six faders, plus phase, shape, and speed controls—all tweakable via rear CV inputs, clock in, and MIDI DIN for sync/reset.

A magnetic touch surface adds intuitive cross-modulation between channels, turning rigid patterns into evolving, expressive soundscapes. Early demos from Superbooth 2025 highlight its versatility as a pseudo drum machine, noise synth, or processor, earning praise for the elegant design and deep experimentation potential without common complaints surfacing yet.
