Synth.BT (modular synthesizer tools) 2020 Kickstarter video

Published on Jan 2, 2020 Cat Full of GHOSTS


"Link to project: http://kck.st/39CG7Z4

Your HP is sacred, you shouldn’t waste it on things like multiples, attenuators and gate combiners.

Synth.BTs packs together a bunch of super handy passive synth tools into one neat kit that is as simple to build as it is useful.

Put one of these packs in your cable bag and always be ready to solve those synth routing problems live, or in the studio.

Product Description:

Synth.BTs are a beautiful matt black PCB with gold ENIG finish. Reminiscent of a model plane kit, you build up the board, solder it and then cut out the different components to create:

2 X 4 way multiples

2 X touch pads

1 X 3.5mm to ¼’ adapter

1 X 3-in-1 out gate combiner

2 X attenuators with mute and stutter

Synth.BTs is available as a bare PCB, kit or a pre-built PCB with jacks and other components already soldered.

What are you waiting for? Grab yours today."

VIDEO EQUATIONS EURORACK WALK THROUGH

Published on Jun 17, 2017 Cat Full of GHOSTS

"A Quick walkthrough of the 'Video Equations' eurorack model.

The Video Equations Euro is a eurorack character based video synth that creates its visuals by manipulating complex exuations.

Details:

25hp wide (35.5mm depth)
7x CV in (0-5v with protection)
BUILT IN SCREEN AVAILABLE ON REQUEST (+$100AU this will be a built in display that has an external rca that can be used to monitor other video signals)
RCA composite video out with ac coupling and esd protection
Power use: 12v = 430ma max, 5v= 0ma, -12v = 0ma

Improvements between what you see in the video and what you will get:
higher contrast on the lettering on the wood
a reset button on the front panel
possibly a switch to change between NTSC and PAL from the front panel (we are working on it now and it looks promising."

New tbar Eurorack Module from Cat Full of GHOSTS

Published on May 2, 2017

"The tbar is a unique unipolar/bipolar variable voltage source and attenuator made by Cat Full of Ghosts Electronics. It boasts beautiful white and gold pcb front panel, walnut stained bamboo ply and matte black bolts. The tbar also boasts a visual feedback led under the + sign so you can monitor the cv you are passing in attenuator mode.

This module will make you feel like you are flying a space ship. It has a smooth motion a firm throttle and solid construction.

The tbar allows for more nuanced control of cv parameters. Why twiddle a cramped knob when you can slide a tbar? It is great for performance and studio use.

The output can be configured to: 0-5v, -5-5v, 0-9v or -5-9v via jumpers on the underside.

This unit is 6hp wide and 51mm deep. It draws current relative to what it is driving but you can expect around 40-50ma on the +12 and -12 rails.

Cat Full of Ghosts YOWLER Kickstarter Campaign Opens Design to Supporters

YOWLER KICKSTARTER VIDEO from Cat Full of GHOSTS on Vimeo.

"The Kickstarter video for a synthesizer that the buyers help design.

www.kickstarter.com/projects/218568730/the-yowler-a-community-built-diy-noise-synth"

"About this project

Low epic throbbing halls, rasping vocal choruses, burning thick churning waves of static. The Yowler is waiting.

The Yowler is a versatile little noise/drone synth, don't let it's size fool you, it is packed with features most small synths don't have:

External trigger + decay: trigger the Yowler from external gear, use it as a drum synth

Built in speaker + mono/stereo output: means you can use it with mono gear like guitar pedals or a modular synth, or stereo gear like mixers, headphones etc...

Pitch knobs + light dependent pitch control: get crazy sounds from the three oscillators by shining light on them

BUT WAIT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE...

If the minimum successful funding amount is raised, you get the Yowler as you see it in the video, with all the features described. BUT, once we reach the funding goal backers will be able to contribute to the design and development of the final product. How? Read on.

WHAT'S A COMMUNITY BUILT SYNTH?

Ever $1,000AU above the fully funded amount unlocks a bunch new options for features that the backers get to vote on having included in the final design. Some of these upgrades are aesthetic, like better knobs and buttons, others are extra features like a filter or the design becoming open-source, or Eurorack compatibility, and others are design improvements, like a case, a thicker PCB, or rubber feet.

The idea is that as a community the backers will steer and shape they Yowler through their choices. The more people who support the Yowler the better it gets.

When each voting milestone ($1,000AU over the funding goal) is reached, I will send out a survey to backers to decide between two new features. If enough voting milestones are passed then features are passed over will return for a second chance of inclusion. If your favourite feature missed out early on, with enough backers, it may still end up in the final product!
