"Discover Noise 007-
Kilpatrick Audio Phenol Patch 005.1-

Updated version of the patch 005 video. The TR-8 midi out is connected to Phenols Midi in. The midi clock from the TR-8 is used to sync OSC1s triangle wave. The triangle wave is then send to the "FM in" of the lowpass filter to modulate the TR-8s audio signal. The wet audio signal is going into "In-1" while the dry audio signal from the "Ext In 2" is going unmodulated into "In-2".

Kilpatrick Audio PHENOL - Mini Sequencer

Published on Apr 9, 2015 KilpatrickAudio

"Here is a look at the PHENOL mini sequencer mode which uses only two buttons but offers a very fun sequencer mode as part of the PHENOL synth."

Kilpatrick Audio Phenol - Noise Demo

Published on Mar 5, 2015 KilpatrickAudio

"PHENOL now has a noise output! The LFO random output was basically doing noise at a lower frequency, so it seemed natural to get it working up into the audio range. It's not full bandwidth because the LFOs run at non-audio samplerates, but it sounds really great!"

Kilpatrick Audio Phenol - A Quick Look

Published on Jan 20, 2015 KilpatrickAudio

"Check out the very first glimpses of the production prototype of PHENOL. We listened to comments from Kickstarter backers and beta testers and made a number of improvements. These include new controls for envelope modes, a new arp mode for making interesting musical envelopes and LFOs, as well as a full set of 1/4" jacks on the rear panel with dedicated headphone and line outs."

"The official music video for The Stereo Effect Project's song Gate In. Apart from the drums this song features sounds created exclusively with the new PHENOL synthesizer from Kilpatrick Audio. No external effects were added

Special thanks to Keith / The Stereo Effect Project for the song and the great footage of the studio session."

"About this project

Phenol is a new synthesizer designed by Kilpatrick Audio. It brings the fun and creative potential of a modular analog synthesizer to more people by offering an attractive and approachable musical instrument that is small, portable and sounds amazing!

Phenol is 100% compatible with modular systems because it uses the same voltages and banana connectors as the Kilpatrick Format and similar modular synthesizers.

Whether you already love modular synthesizers and want a smaller instrument for portability, or whether you've heard about modular synths and want to get your feet wet, Phenol offers an amazing instrument at a great price. (Phenol will retail for $849 in stores.)

Sneak peek at some specs:

Banana patch system with colour-coded jacks and voltages compatible with Kilpatrick Format and other modular systems
Two analog VCOs - triangle, ramp and pulse outputs
Two analog filters (low pass and high pass)
Two analog VCAs with level control
Two envelope generator / LFO combos with many unique features
An LFO with sine and random output
Internal MIDI to CV converter with DIN and USB MIDI interfaces
Compact mixer with digital delay with over 330ms of delay time
Digital pulse divider - divide MIDI clock or LFO output to create 4 musical time divisions
Buffered mixer / mult / inverter with level control
External audio input allows a stereo input to be patched like an oscillator signal - process your drum machine or other source through the system
Designed and made in Canada using high quality parts
Universal input power supply (100-240V) included (shipped with North American plug)
Warranty: 1 year
Over the past six year of making music and audio products, Andrew has designed and manufactured over twenty products which are used by musicians all over the world. His products are carried by specialty musical instrument dealers in Canada, USA, the UK, Germany and Australia..."

Kilpatrick Audio Phenol - More Experiments

Published on Dec 1, 2014 KilpatrickAudio

"Here is a short clip of my friend Keith trying out Phenol. The clock divider is proving to be extremely useful for people wanting to create patterns that sound like they came from a sequencer."

Kilpatrick Audio Phenol - Multitrack Synth Tune

Published on Dec 1, 2014 KilpatrickAudio

"I ventured over to my friend Keith's studio and we messed around with this digital multitrack deck and some different sounds with Phenol. The drum machine is a Kawai R-100, and all other sounds are produced by Phenol, except the flute which uses Phenol for real-time amplitude modulation processing through the external input."

Kilpatrick Audio Phenol - Experimental Demo

Published on Nov 28, 2014 KilpatrickAudio

"Check out our friend David Waldman as he explores some sounds with Phenol. All the sounds you hear are recorded directly from the synth with no extra processing added. David is a drummer, electronic musician and photographer from Toronto Canada."

Synth Jam 2 - K10 Dual Envelope

Published on May 28, 2014 KilpatrickAudio·17 videos

"Check out a quick jam on the K10 Dual Envelope module showing some of the interesting features of the module. In this video the bassline is coming from a computer via MIDI and the K1 Mixer Interface is being used to convert MIDI into pitch, gate and velocity signals.

The K10 is a voltage controllable dual ADSR envelope generator with support for velocity-sensitive playing and lots of other control possibilites."

Kilpatrick Synth Jam 1 - KFormat Modular

Published on Oct 27, 2013 KilpatrickAudio·16 videos

"Here I jam on the KFormat modular, starting with a blank patch and working up to something which I think sounds pretty cool. I had no idea what I was going to do when I started, other than I wanted to make a short video showing how a patch comes together.
