Our 2nd demo of our passive Ring Modulator kit that you can get right now in our store!!!  This one features a MicroMoog, Yamaha CS-5 Analog Synth, a cheap-o Korg Toneworks Pedal, and our famous 16-step analog sequencer.

The NAND Synth PCB is back in stock with a whole lot more!

Features:

- Board-mountable On/Off and OSC1/2 switches

-Large solder pads for wired connections

-Tension relief holes for dual power connections (9V Battery or DC Jack)

-LED On/Off Indicator

- A MOD solder pad array section for expanding the capabilities and customization .  Sized just right for a 8-16 Pin DIPs  like a CMOS Analog Switch or NE5332 Low Noise Dual Op Amp, there are limitless possibilities.   Or experiment with a circuit of your own!

Assembly Instructions and BOM are up and new store products are being posted.

A Hot Mod contest might be in the works in the coming months.  I’ll even throw my hat in the ring and up my mod game!  Adjustable voltage power supplies, CV Inputs, Output filtering, Sequencing, Analog Switching, Relay, etc.!   Stay tuned!

Hey synth fans! We were messing around with our new Passive Ring Modulator yesterday and decided to shoot a video of its capabilities.  The input to the Passive Ring Modulator is a Moog Etherwave Theremin, the carrier wave is a Gakken SX-150 given a control voltage by our 16 Step Sequencer, and the output is pure awesomeness!

Note to synth world:  if you guys come up with any crazy Passive Ring Modulator combinations, send us a video, schematic, or whatever and we’ll post it here!

The Synthrotek Passive Ring Modulator PCB is one of our favorite new offerings.  A total of 6 on-board components and 3 jacks are all there is to this classic trippy circuit, but don’t be fooled by its simplicity: the sound possibilities are endless!  Get retro sci-fi robot tones, outlandish modulation, and gritty distortion out of your normal synth gear or just go nuts and explore the capabilities of ring modulation!

No batteries or power supplies are required for this passive circuit and the matched germanium diode ring keep your signal as pure as possible.

Kit Assembly Instructions and a Bill of Materials are already posted and new demo videos are on the way! All it takes is 10 minutes of soldering work, 5 of which are waiting for the iron to heat up!

When ordering kits, you’ll have a choice between 1/8″ or 1/4″ jacks to interface with your gear.  Completed models are in the works!  Get one today!

New Synthrotek PC Boards

The long awaited PCBs have finally arrived!  We’ve spent countless hours designing and testing our new boards and they look amazing!  Manufactured by Imagineering based out of Elk Grove Village, IL, these boards are high quality and ready for your next electronics project.  We’ve designed them with our customers and builder in mind, so they’re easy to assemble, compact, and sound great!

In the following days, we’ll have more in-depth posts describing the individual features of:

• Arbiter Fuzz Face Clone (the classic back in action!)
• Passive A/B Switch (no more crazy wiring!)
• Atari Punk Console (w/ Dual CV Inputs)
• 4093 NAND Synth (finally back in stock!)
• Passive Ring Mod (otherworldly sound possibilities)
• PT2399 Dev PCB (based off of Princeton’s datasheet schematic)
• 555 Astable Oscillator (easy to solder, tons of applications)
• RAT Clone (with cool mods on-board)
• PT2399 Delay (with new Feedback control – more delay repeats!)
• Atari Junk (amazing retro glitch)

More cool stuff: A new store in the works, a Tech blog for DIY knowledge, tons more videos and great artists!  Check back daily for new posts!
