X Flow reimagines FM with an innovative visual approach, replacing complex matrices with intuitive XY fields, putting the power of FM directly at your fingertips.

Key Features:

Visual FM Matrix:Ditch the confusing charts! X-Flow uses four XY fields to represent the FM matrix, providing a clear and direct way to shape your sound. Each operator's modulation source is visually displayed, making FM synthesis more accessible and creative.

Expressive Performance: X-Flow is designed for performance. Modulate your FM creations live with your mouse, MIDI controllers, or even with the nuanced control of Mono-, Poly-Aftertouch or MPE, for unparalleled sonic expression.

Deep Modulation Capabilities: Dive into a world of intricate sound design with extensive modulation options. X-Flow features 4 FM Envelopes per voice, 2 LFOs per voice (which can be polyphonic, monophonic, key synced or one-shot) for Pitch, Amp, and Filter modulation, and 8 XY LFOs per voice to further animate the FM matrix.

Powerful Sound Engine: X-Flow boasts a 24-voice engine with 4 operators, each offering 5 selectable waveforms (Sine, Tri, Saw, Pulse, Square). Shape your sound further with a dedicated filter section (including Low Pass and High Pass options) and an Overdrive effect for added grit and character.
(16 Voices for the MPE version)

Adamsynths Warthog Update & Q&A



via Adamsynths

"Earlier this year at Superbooth, Adamsynths unveiled the Warthog: our total recall analog modular synthesizer.

We had tons of interest and loads of great questions from you — and now we’d love to answer some of the most common ones right here.

Is the Warthog a pre-assembled desktop synth, or a fully modular one I can customize?

Great question! The Warthog is a true plug-and-play analog modular synth. You can choose the modules you want, arrange them how you like, and build a setup that suits your workflow perfectly.

Can I use modules from other manufacturers in the Warthog?

Absolutely. The Warthog case supports standard Eurorack power. Just keep in mind: the RECALL feature only works with official Warthog modules.

Can I put Warthog modules into my existing Eurorack case?

Yes, you can — BUT. Because of the RECALL feature, the Warthog uses a different power and communication system than the usual 16-pin ribbon cable found in most Eurorack setups. That said, we’ll make sure all Warthog modules (and any necessary accessories) are also available separately, without the case.

Can I use Warthog modules together with my current modular system?

Of course! The Warthog fully follows Eurorack standards for all signal connections. It uses the same V/OCT control, and its GATE, TRIG, SYNC inputs and outputs are 5V compatible. Just a reminder: RECALL functionality only works with Warthog modules.

Why are some outputs on the CENTRAL UNIT labeled “D” for digital?

We know this caused a bit of confusion at Superbooth 25. Here’s the deal: all CV outputs are fully analog and operate in ranges like -5V to +5V or 0V to +10V. The “D” outputs — short for “digital” — are used for GATE, TRIG, SYNC, START/STOP, or RESET signals. We call them digital simply because they have two states: ON or OFF, i.e., 0 or 1.

When will we get more detailed info about the Warthog’s specs?

We are working on it! The full technical documentation will be available on our website soon. We will notify you in a newsletter as soon as it is available.

And the big one — when can I pre-order the Warthog and how much will it cost?

Right now, our team is working hard to finalize pricing and prepare for production. There’s still some groundwork to cover, but we’re doing our best every day to get the Warthog into your hands as soon as possible. Hopefully, we’ll be able to share more very soon."

"BOSS DR-55 Dr. Rhythm is a classic drum machine released in 1979, known for its simplicity and distinctive analog drum sounds. It features four drum sounds (bass drum, snare drum, hi-hat, and rimshot) and allows users to program their own rhythms.

This is really close to mint condition and It appears all accessories comes from over 40 years old. The accessories are original box, BOSS sticker, warranty, functional explanation sticker to be attached to the back side of the main unit ( not used! ), BOSS Product Catalog.

The unit, of course, works perfectly and is very clean with a few unnoticeable chip scratches."

BTFLD Cv to Gates | The Schlappy Minute


video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"This is the Schlappy Minute.

Today I show you how to use the BTFLD as a gate extractor for control voltage signals. I'll be using a stepped voltage from a Nibbler so the results are going to be on the clock, but feel free to experiment by sending cycling envelopes, LFOs, whatever you want, to get some weird wonky gates out of it."
