BTFLD shipping, Gaz Williams show, Schlappy Patching, Divkid with Three Body, Bries
Posted by Eric Schlappi on
After a week of packing orders and testing modules now have most of the BTFLD orders in the mail, so if you ordered one look for a shipping notification and if you still want one we have them in stock and should be back to shipping next day. I went on Gaz Williams show last week and talked with him about the Three Body, BTFLD, and a little of everything else. There is a new Schlappy Patching with Stazma video about "Pings and Bits" featuring the BTFLD. Three Body made an appearance in a Divkid video on his Trace module...
BTFLD release!
Posted by Eric Schlappi on
Hello, The BTFLD is now available to purchase! It will be shipping from us early next week and should also be available from our retailers ASAP. BTFLD (Bit Fold) is a distortion, wavefolder, and four bit asynchronous analog to digital converter. The folding output at audio rate provides a hard sync like timbre in a unique sawtooth wavefolder circuit. The stepped output is a type of bit crushed effect and the square wave outputs provide different frequency multiplications or distortions. Rhythms can also be generated by putting envelopes or LFOs into the input and using the bit outputs as gates....

Posted by Eric Schlappi on
I am recovering from a standard post-trade show flu so this update is a little late... However last weekend I went to Machina Bristronica in Bristol and had an absolutely wonderful time. On Friday and Saturday I got to talk to tons of synthesizer friends then see Surgeon play, and on Sunday I gave a talk on distortion then was able to catch Legowelt. I gave an interview with Sonic State going over our line and revealing BTFLD, which we will publicly release maybe next week, retailer emails are getting sent out this weekend and we will give them a...
Divkid interview from last years Machina Bristronica, 2024 edition coming soon
Posted by Eric Schlappi on
In the run up to Machina Bristronica in a couple weeks I was a bit surprised to see the interview that Divkid and I did at the event last year finally get posted up. It's worth checking out for a nice bit of philosophy chat, some jamming, and some demoing of the Three Body and Nibbler. For this year I will give a talk titled "Warped Perspectives: Exploring Types of Distortion, Applications and Techniques” and will be getting a bit into different types of processes we refer to as distortion and different ways to think about as well as use...
Quitnyst album and new Stazma Schlappy Patching 101 video
Posted by Eric Schlappi on
I'd like to share the album of the band I was playing in when I was living in Grenoble, France since we just finally released it. The band is called Quitnyst and the album is called Eff Ess Over Two. We performed four or five shows over the course of a year and a half or so. The lineup was a three piece with me (Eric) on modular lead/noise (just two pods with a Three Body and several Boundary), Thom with an Arturia Minifreak playing bass/chords, and Karotz on drums. The description "Quitnyst is a kraut-aliased trio, which aims at...
