New Twisted Electrons therapKid

via Twisted Elektrons

TherapSid has a kid!
TherapKid is a powerful & affordable duo-phonic synthesizer inspired by the mighty therapSid.

Best of Both
The first generation of SID (6581) had a wonderful gritty distorted filter but the later 8580 had a much stronger filter (more resonance). TherapKid offers a digital take on the best of both worlds with a strong filter resonance and 6581-like gritty tone.

Monophnoic, Duophonic, Chords & Drones
TherapKid has 2 voices, each voice consisting of 4 oscillators.

In duophonic mode you can play 2 notes at once, in mono mode you can detune them. But you can take things further by detuning each of the oscillators individually to form chords or drones.

LO/HI-Fi
While the wavetables are 8Bit, they are processed by a powerful 96MHz 32BIT processor and put out of a 16BIT DAC with oversampling and filtering. This formula of retro sound generated by modern hardware allows for plenty of summing headroom, a rich sounding filter, and complex modulations.

Features:
Set the volume of the 8 waveforms independently*
Tune each of the 8 waveforms independently (chords, drones!)*
Sine wave for pure tones and deep sub bass*
Muti-mode arpeggiator
Ring modulator
Duophonic or monophonic modes
Hybrid 6581/8580 inspired multimode filter (Low pass, High pass, Band Pass, Notch)
Dual therapSid style LFO with up to 48 connections that can be made a a push of a button.
50 Preset memory with wild random preset generator
USB-MIDI
Sturdy powder-coated steel case
Hardware MIDI via included 3.5mm >Din5 cable
USB Powered (can be battery powered with a USB battery brick)
185mm x95mm x30mm
*can’t be done on a real SID
Pre-order begins shipping May 1st

Twisted Electrons hapiNES meets Pocket Operator Arcade and Robot

Published on Jan 8, 2019 Dj Puzzle

"Just got a hapiNES from Twisted Electrons and I’m having a go at it for the first time. I’m still learning the device but I was able to quickly write some simple melody loops with a beat real quick. Synced it up to a couple of my Pocket Operators for more sounds. hapiNES is a Nintendo inspired synthesizer. PO-20 Arcade and PO-28 Robot in the mix."

Therapsid hard synced PWM 6581

video upload by Avrilcadabra

"This is a Therapsid from Twisted Electrons which was sent to me to make a demonstration video (this is not that video) as there are very few videos on it and I love sid chips and c64's I'm like Bane except I was born into Sid pulse width modulation instead of darkness. I have had it for over a month now and have been working hard testing pretty much every day to make sure it does everything it is suppose to do and everything a c64 fan might expect it to do. Some issues are still present as of this video but are being worked on. It is open source and I suggest anyone considering one go and read the issues section on Twisted Electrons github to see what bugs remain and what future enhancements might be coming.

while this works as just a very nice retro sounding hands on synth for those that are not commodore die hards it can be sequenced multitimbrally as shown here and controlled with cc's. As of this video I am still waiting for glide to be fixed to work multitimbrally (each voice glides independently and works fine in the main mode in

This is just a test day I filmed. without any care to video quality. Expect a full demonstration of this synth in the near future.

In this video the Therapsid is being sequenced by the Dirtywave M8. I'm pointing to the individual voices as the m8 turns them on."

ESK - twisted electrons MEGAfm Synth Setups

Published on May 2, 2020 Metunar

"Synth setup demos with the twisted electrons MEGAfm polyphonic 4OP-FM synth with Yamaha YM2612 chips.

Arturia Minibrute Setup:
MEGAfm mono out -- Arturia Minibrute filter input -- Lexicon MX200 effectunit stereo out

Haken Setup:
Haken Continuum Fingerboard midi out -- MEGAfm mono out -- Lexicon MX200 effectunit stereo out

The Haken Continuum Fingerboard is an old one with only midi out. I didn’t use the Y (Up/Down) and Z (Pressure) axis.

Elektron Digitone Setup:
MEGAfm Stereo out -- Elektron Digitone stereo out

In the beginning you hear the sound of the MEGAfm, followed by some sounds of the Digitone.
With 8 Midi CC i controlled the MEGAfm through the Digitone. I also used on the CC many parameter locks.
