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...

I am in the US after Superbooth and as usual it was quite a ride. This year Julien (Stazma) joined me at the booth and we had 3 days of jamming hard on the system and talking to people. Here's an interview with Synth Anatomy where I introduce the BTMX and BTFLD and show a few more prototypes, below that is one with Les Sondiers for the French speakers.  We also have a new episode of Schlappy Patching about phase modulation with the Three Body Also Speaking of Julien he released a new Stazma album last week (I'm told there...

Superbooth is almost here. I am (as we speak) in an airport on my way to Berlin. In exciting news Julien (Stazma) will be joining me at the booth this year! We are going to show two new four bit modules at the show. One is in production (we will make an official post once you can order it) and the other is very close. There will also be three other new prototypes in the case which I am less sure when they will arrive but if you are in town come and check them out. Also somehow we made...
