Hello, I hope you are all having a great summer! A bit of a catch up post. First, we added a "Garage Sale" section to the website (in the Eurorack section) which is a bunch of modules all meeting our current standards and warranties but possibly with old front panels, b-stock panels, repair or rework on the back, mostly being sold for a little over wholesale. Check it out if you are looking for a deal! We will continue to add to it over time. The reason we are doing that is that we moved! We are back in Portland...

New AV album from Eric Schlappi and Bastien Lavaud (with guest appearances from Karotz and Pepper Smithereens) is now on the Concrete Collage youtube and bandcamp. This album was recorded as a series of modular AV jams in Grenoble, France in 2021 and 2022 with overdubs and tweaking taking place over time since then. It covers a wide range of styles from hard industrial techno to more ambient tracks. This album would have been recorded with a mostly Schlappi system, but would have still been a prototype Three Body at this point and the Monome Grid/Ansible/Kria for sequencing. For video...

The BTMX (pronounced Bit Mix) is a hands on logic module for controlling and manipulating gates and rhythms in real time and it is now available for order from us as well as our retail partners. We have them in the office now and are just finishing testing and boxing, any orders should ship within the next week. It is a 4 channel selectable logic function module, with each channel having two inputs. All channels share the same logic function and the gate outs are summed with binary weights to create a stepped voltage to generate melodic or modulation signals...

Sound on Sound uploaded a glowing review of the Nibbler, I really felt that they understood everything I was trying to do with it. Also we have episode 12 of the Schlappy patching series of videos from Stazma wherein he patches up some glitchy drums:

Another update on production coming soon but I should remember to post about my talk this Friday at Crowd Supply's yearly Teardown event. My talk will be at June 21 from 5:30-5:50 PM in the Lloyd Center in Portland Oregon.  The description is: Post-Synthesis: Adventures in using FPGAs for Eurorack In 2022 Schlappi Engineering released Three Body, a Eurorack phase and frequency modulation triple oscillator based on the Lattice ECP5 FPGA and the open source Yosys/Nextpnr toolchain. This talk will recap the development of that oscillator from iCEBreaker FPGA and ULX3S development boards, through release and manufacturing, and then discuss...
