"The DecadeBridge Triad is a unique little Synth module that generates drones, rhythms, noises and glitches - it sounds, to me at least, like a haunted arcade in the 80s - malfunctioning machines, wailing, whirring and bleeping. It's based on a trio of analog oscillators arranged in a fairly unique, raw and unpredictable arrangement. It works great as part of a drone or noise setup, makes for excellent sample fodder, and thanks to the neat "reset" input it can play along with drum machines and sequencers (especially paired with a little low-pass gate).

TRIAD is a 3 oscillator square wave drone/noise/glitch synth.
The 3 oscillators drive and reset each other in different ways depending upon the switch/button settings.
an external trigger, gate or clock can also be used to reset 2 of the 3 oscillators.
Knob style and knob/button colour may vary depending on stock.
A connector for a 9 volt battery is included with Triad. Triad can also run off a 9V !!CENTRE POSITIVE!! WALL ADAPTOR.

"I have been very privileged to test, advise, and consult with Paul at Bad Dog Designs on this brilliant drum synthesizer. Taking circuit designs that were over 40 years old, published in E&MM magazine, Paul has recreated and refined these three drum synth designs to create OSPRAY-8, a "vintage" 21st century drum synthesizer.
Four drum modules, three cymbal modules and a clap module, triggerable via MIDI or CV and with a stereo audio output or individual mono outputs per drum, this is the sound of the nascent analog drum synth of the 1980s in a beautiful handmade case.
For more information and details on how to get your hands on one, contact Bad Dog Designs to register your interest.
"After about 4 months on and off, I've got my percussion Synthesizer in a state where I'm happy with the look and sounds :)
All original 1980's circuit designs with just a few component changes for later IC's, and of course Midi In and through as well as individual trigger inputs.
The OSPRAY-8 ( Old School Percussion Right At Ya! ) comprises 8 individual modules, arranged as 4 X Drum modules / 3 X Cymbal modules / 1 X Handclap module. There is then a final control module that handles midi, midi channel selection and Stereo output.
The Drum Module can generate a multitude of sounds from Bass drums to Snares, Toms, Rimshots, bleeps and other weird and wonderful sounds.
The Cymbal Module can generate Open and Closed Hi-Hats, Gongs, Cowbells as well as other metallic oddness.
The Handclap does as it says, but will generate multiple claps with full control of frequency / resonance / ambience etc.
As each module has it's own line out and trigger in, you can join two together, so you can combine a handclap with a drum and get a really sharp and punchy snare for example.
The front panel is machined from a single piece of aluminium, the lettering engraved into the surface for a well engineered finish. The Casing is still in development, but you can see a mock up in the clip. All the audio is straight out of the OSPRAY-8 with no processing."
"The Ospray-8 is a fully Analogue percussion synthesizer, housed in a free standing desktop format. The sounds are produced by entirely analogue electronic modules, tailored for different percussive sound types. The Ospray-8 contains 8 modules connected together, comprising of 4 X Drum Modules, 3 X Cymbal Modules and 1 X Handclap module. There is then a housekeeping module that handles midi control, and stereo outputs."

Honest thoughts and nitpicks
"#JX2044 is my latest synthesizer project. It's an analog synthesizer inspired by Roland JX8P. The "2044" refers to the filter chip I used - V2044 from CoolAudio, which is a clone of legendary SSM2044.
Here are some basic specs: 8 voices, bi-timbral 2 DCO oscillators with CrossMod (AM) block based on JX8P, but with PWM capability, and with added triangle waveform instead of noise for DCO B. 3 ADSR envelopes per voice - with switchable Exponential/Linear shape 3 LFOs per voice - LFOs can be slaved together for typical monophonic behavior. Seven waveforms - triangle, sine, square, rising ramp, falling ramp, random and noise. 4 pole (24dB/oct) resonant low pass filter (with self-oscillation) DCO B can be used as source for Filter FM master HPF per layer, adjustable in 16 steps. Digital effects section per layer, with 4 blocks: Resonant filter bank with two modes - "VP330 Human Voice" ("Male" and "Female" presets) and Polymoog Resonator with three adjustable bands. Stereo chorus with three modes - "JX Slow", "JX Fast" and "StringMachine" - the last one using three delay lines modulated with dual LFOs. 4-stage phaser Delay/Reverb

Because of a significant raise in the pricings on some of the parts, used in the Little deFormer 3 (especially the casings), I had to do this redesign, in order to avoid raising my prices significantly.
Now, while I was redesigning anyway, some changes were made:
-New design with more comfortable push buttons.
-Push button keyboard and touch pitch bender were added.
-Adjustable RGB LEDs were added to the push buttons.
-Granular sample player were added.
-Wavetable oscillator with 2 warp parameters and 4 warp modes were added (Serum and Waveedit formats).

An intuitive auto-tuning and micro-tuning engine for precise pitch control and cultural exploration.
Sequencer
A dynamic 16-step sequencer for crafting complex compositions directly on the instrument.
Loop/Multi
20 seconds of stereo sampling, looping, processing, multilayering for real-time creativity.
Continuous Development As of July 2025, XTRIKE is in the prototype phase. Our team is committed to refining the instrument until its design and performance meet our exacting standards. To achieve this, we are implementing minor adjustments before moving to production.
The prototype’s features are performing exceptionally well. Its graphical display is both visually stunning and highly intuitive. The dual-daisy engine is robust, delivering the substantial processing power required for the project’s complexity. While minor software tweaks are still needed, this aspect of the project is nearly complete.
Our current focus is on enhancing the interface, particularly the tactile pad. We are dissatisfied with the responsiveness and appearance of the current silicon pad, which is glued to the faceplate. We are reverting to our original concept of an independent, mechanically isolated pad. By integrating a PCB interface, as used in our initial testing, and fitting it into a dedicated slot in the faceplate, we aim to significantly improve sensitivity and user experience. Additionally, the pad will be available in various colors with a distinctive, creative design.
We are also refining the overall design, with particular attention to the side panels. While beech wood has yielded positive results, we are exploring alternative materials and designs to ensure the highest quality outcome. Only the best will suffice.

"OMNICYCLONE is a unique take on generative synthesizers. It's primarily focused on percussive phrases, but it can also create melodic content.
At its core lies a Yamaha OPL2 emulator that has been extensively modified to achieve things the original chips couldn't – like a fully stereo image and a complete revamp of sonic possibilities.
We've taken some of the most interesting features from WINTERMUTE, expanded the emulator further, and hybridized them with OPERA ROTAS features to birth a new generative beast that sounds surprisingly retro and modern at the same time.

At its core lies an OPL2 emulator that has been extensively modified to achieve things the original Yamaha chips couldn't – like a fully stereo image. Some Yamaha chips of that era only offered hard-panned stereo (just center, left, or right). OMNICYCLONE provides 256 possible stereo positions, which sounds probably awesome.
We've taken some of the most interesting features from WINTERMUTE, expanded the emulator further, and hybridized them with OPERA ROTAS features to birth a new generative beast that sounds surprisingly retro and modern at the same time.
In this new incarnation, we've added volume bars for each channel, providing a clearer visual understanding of what's happening under the hood.
The synth is controlled by 2 banks of parameters, plus a fully-featured global LFO and global parameters for controlling each of the ADSR stages. It also includes a variety of new generative strategies that are explained in the manual.
OMNICYCLONE runs on the Fluorine hardware, meaning you can flash Fluorine's other firmwares (there are 4 different ones to choose from) in addition to the OMNICYCLONE firmware. This gives you multiple synths in one piece of hardware.
There's also a new firmware that turns the Fluorine hardware into a USB MIDI Controller with 2 banks of potentiometers. This means you essentially have multiple synths plus a MIDI controller in one device
The OMNICYCLONE firmware is closed source. Existing Fluorine users can order the digital files to easily switch between their other Fluorine firmwares and the OMNICYCLONE firmware. The USB MIDI Controller firmware is also free for Fluorine users, but the OMNICYCLONE firmware has a small fee to support its development.

"The Take 5 and Teo-5 from Sequential and Oberheim make fantastic desktop units. They feel like they were made for this form factor - no compromises, simply great sounding synths in a high quality enclosure. The keyboard versions may have felt lacking in keys (even though they have a great keybed) - just a bit too short for some. I found it was quite handy having one that could fit on my rack! But with these the only decision you have to make is which one is best for you.
Luckily I'm here to confuse you further (they both sound great)! The decision will be whether you prefer the Oberheim or Sequential style of VCO programming, the filters, and the X-Mod/FM. And these just so happen to be the bits I look at in this :)"
