Tom Catin'

Published on Mar 1, 2017 HardtekStudios

"Just a fun jam with the Akai Tom Cat. I'm using the Tom section as a kick that can be transposed for special fx. The audio was recorded directly into Logic with no pre or post processing. So this is the true sound of the Tom Cat."

New Møffenzeef Mødular MUSKRAT 8-bit Wavetable Drum Synth Eurorack Module

MUSKRAT ØVERVIEW Published on Mar 1, 2017 Møffenzeef Mødular

via Møffenzeef Mødular

"MUSKRAT is a flexible, 8-bit wavetable drum synth. There are 23 øn-bøard wavetables tø chøøse frøm, either manually ør via bipølar CV input. Pitch and phase distørtiøn include bipølar CV inputs and accept -5v to +5v. The "Trigger" input is designed withøut input cønditioning and picks up signals øf all varieties. In øther wørds it is an enveløpe følløwer circuit. Yøu can plug an external CV ør øffset intø this input and it will øperate like a regular VCA. Før even møre extreme søund mangling, engage the MUSKRAT møde via the switch tø feed a randøm number intø the phase accumulatør at the internal cløck rate. This møde alsø includes a gate input that acts as an 'accent'.

Basically, pick a kraptastique wave, change the pitch, mangle the hell øut øf it, feed the rødent, BANG! it; yøu’ve caught yourself a Muskrat. WARNING: if yøu feed the rødent(“my...gød...what...have...we...døne?”) it’s brain gøes intø a fiery frenzy and spits øut glitch after glitch øf høly bleepbløøpness. If yøu yank øn it’s tail it’ll shriek a lil’ lønger, especially if yøu’re pulling it at løng range. Beware, ønce yøu let this critter øut øf the cage it will want tø nest sø BANG! it øn the head!"

"Here is a very special Radio Shack Moog that is a little monster bass synth. This unit has been upgraded with sturdy wood end cheeks and a unique paint job that really makes the colors on the front panel stand out. The wood ends add more rigidity to the chassis than the original plastic pieces. The RCA outputs have been replaced with a heavy duty 1/4" jack. The external audio input is also a 1/4" jack and is routed through the filter of the synth allowing external sound processing. There is an 1/8" input jack for cutoff frequency CV, perfect for hooking up to modular synths and sequencers for additional modulation of the filter. This works well with a sequencer such as the Korg SQ-1. There is some cosmetic wear, but it is in great overall condition for it's age. S-Trigger input and pitch CV inputs work well with external sources. The synth has been tuned so that 0V at the pitch CV input plays a C. In it's original configuration it would play an F, it's lowest key. This allows use of midi to cv converters directly without having to transpose the midi note 5 steps down. All the servicing and upgrades make this synth studio ready!

This unit was recently professionally serviced:

- aging electrolytic capacitors replaced for long term reliability
- tuning of oscillators 1&2 into bass range
- tuning of oscillators and pitch tracking
- notorious decayed dust cover black goo was cleaned from circuit board
- pots were cleaned/lubricated
- new dust cover was installed to keep dust out of switches and sliders"
