"Awesome standalone lo-fi 8 bit granular sampler. Great condition in a limited crystal clear finish. Can be powered via 9v battery, but I am including a One Spot power supply with the reverse polarity adapter so you won't burn through batteries.

A Love Letter to Large Format Modular

Published on May 14, 2020 Synthesizer Reviews

"Moog Unit. Dotcom. 5u. Large Format. Whatever you want to call it, it's goregous. There is no 'best' format in moduar synthesis, but this one happens to be my favorite."

Mystic Circuits ANA Processing Gates and Triggers

Published on May 14, 2020 Mystic Circuits

"We at Mystic Circuits have been hard at work improving the overall quality and style of our videos. Im an engineer, not a Youtuber, so it has been quite a process. Hopefully the work is worth it and the new demos will be more enjoyable and easier to follow.

This demo is on using ANA to process gates and triggers for manipulating rhythms either with the twist of a knob or with voltage control. Unlike most logic processors ANA computes analog logic so variable and negative voltages can also be processed. This adds a ton of flexibility even when processing static unipolar signals like gates and triggers. Many complex logic functions are possible with some creative patching.

For more info on ANA and how it works check out our first ANA demo:" [posted here]
