Cre8audio West Pest Semi-modular Analog Synthesizer

Description: A Treasury of West Coast Synthesis To those unfamiliar with the east-west synth showdown of lore, East Coast approaches to synthesis were subtractive, while West Coast synthesists opted for an additive approach. Sweetwater’s sultans of synth agree that Cre8audio nailed the West Pest’s namesake influence, delivering an intuitive form factor to explore this unique form of synthesis. Start with one of three different waveforms and begin to build off the full, distinctive core oscillator. Engage in some robust wave folding — some of which was never previously possible — to incorporate luscious harmonic overtures and sonically rich waveforms. The Dynamics Controller uses some analog alchemy to modify the incoming signal to dynamically respond to its own volume, imitating the temperament of soundwaves in the real world. Finally, sculpt your sound with a smooth LFO and let it run wild. Additionally, with 18 patch ports, ferocious MIDI capabilities, and the option Sweetwater is an Authorized Cre8audio Dealer Genuine New Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty Cre8audio West Pest Semi-modular Analog Synthesizer 40HP Semi-modular Synth with Wavefolding, 32-step Sequencer, FM, LFO, VCA, MIDI, and Eurorack Compatibility A Treasury of West Coast Synthesis To those unfamiliar with the east-west synth showdown of lore, East Coast approaches to synthesis were subtractive, while West Coast synthesists opted for an additive approach.

Additionally, with 18 patch ports, ferocious MIDI capabilities, and the option to take it out of the case for rackmounting, this Pest is anything but a problem!History continued, not reimagined The history of West Coast synthesis is often muddied by the gradual incorporation of its ideas into the broader synthesizer zeitgeist, especially with the number of soft synths that are easily able to blend concepts. Crea8audio’s ethos revolves around taking up the mantle of analog’s unfulfilled promise of new sonic opportunities, and they succeed. A decade of R&D and a partnership with Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers have yielded a truly unique oscillator, bolstered by contemporary circuit design, keeping sounds stable and reliable.Selecting, shaping, and folding West Coast-style synthesis depends on a deceptively simple premise. Selecting the oscillator wave is just the beginning, however, as the FM, fine-tuning, timbre, timbre modification, and resonance parameters can all be precisely adjusted to maximize wave folding and wave shaping potential, producing complex, previously unexplored harmonic possibilities. The Dynamics Controller segment pairs VCA functionality with a lowpass filter to produce a compelling sonic profile that dynamically adjusts its harmonic content emulate soundwave behavior as it exists in real-life spaces. Supplement this with the LFO to really spatialize your sound.Interactive opportunities abound To call the West Pest a semi-modular synth might be burying the lede. You can remove this from its housing and place it straight into any rack that can accommodate its 40HP of force! Regardless of where you use it, you can take full advantage of its 18 patch ports to control any number of parameters, making this just as capable in a larger system as it is on its own. To that end, the West Pest is also fully MIDI capable, optimizing it for DAW use, clock sync, and more. Face buttons allow you to create and manage arpeggios, toggle oscillator waves, make use of a random value generator, and fully control this treasury of tone.Cre8audio West Pest Semi-modular Synthesizer Features: West Coast-style synthesis freshly reimagined to deliver new musical opportunities Custom-designed analog oscillator includes frequency modulation and 3 waveform options to craft your sound Precision-engineered wave folding provides rich harmonics and overtones Dynamics Controller produces life-like waveform values with its dynamic self-modulation and vactrol-less lowpass gate circuit 32-step sequencer allows for robust building options with room for 13 storable presets Dual range analog LFO features square and triangle wave outputs Remove the module to secure within your Eurorack setup (40HP) 18 patch points offer robust access to voltage-controlling parameters Full MIDI in/out/thru means even greater interoperative potential SpecificationDetail Type Desktop Synthesizer Analog/Digital Analog Type of Keys 13 x Key Buttons Polyphony Monophonic Oscillators 1 x Analog VCO Waveforms Sawtooth, Triangle, Sine ; Frequency Modulation, Wave Folding Envelope Generator 1 x EG (sustain, release) LFO 1 x LFO Arpeggiator Yes Sequencer 32-step, 13 presets Analog Outputs 1 x 1/8" MIDI I/O 2 x 1/8" (in, out/thru) Other I/O 17 x 1/8" patch points Power Supply Power Supply (included) Power Usage Eurorack: +12V/250mA, -12V/190mA HP Size 40HP Depth 0.98" RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
