The Hertz Donut is a module for Eurorack format modular synthesizer.
This is a dual digital oscillator, in the spirit of 259 Buchla module.
The Harvestman is deemed to have commenced large (and talent) for digital modules in a universe far largely remained analog.
Its muscular and virile modules show that "digital" is not always a dirty word, and that marrying these two worlds, one can obtain very interesting textures.

Le Hertz Donut est un module au format Eurorack pour synthétiseur modulaire.
Il s'agit d'un double oscillateur numérique, dans l'esprit du module 259 de Buchla.
The Harvestman est réputé pour avoir introduit massivement (et avec talent) des modules numériques dans un univers resté jusqu'ici majoritairement analogique.
Ses modules musclés et viriles prouvent que "numérique" n'est pas toujours un gros mot, et qu'en mariant ces deux mondes, on peut obtenir des textures très intéressantes.

"Beat707 is an Arduino Shield that adds several neat features to your musical arsenal. You get a 32 step machine, (plus 32 double-steps for a total of 64 steps) with 16 step buttons and leds, LCD screen and navigation keys. It's like the classic Roland TR707 but with some twists, as it actually has 64 x 1/32 or 32 x 1/64 steps. Plus, the 2 note-step sequence feature allows you to do bass and/or synth grooves -- it's a MIDI groove-box all in one ! The unit doesn't produce any sound, it's all MIDI based, so you can use any MIDI compatible device."
