Kilpatrick Audio Phenol - Kickstarter Promo

Published on Dec 5, 2014 KilpatrickAudio

"Check out the Kickstarter promo video for Phenol. Available to order now through Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/..."

"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..."
