Ooh to go back to Shenzhen – I love it’s electronic markets, the range of food stuffs and the amazing buzz of a truly big city. I enjoy experiencing the difference between life there and life in Amsterdam. But it only comes after being stuck in a chair for eleven Read more
Happy 2020 to you! We had some lovely times over the holidays but if you were keeping an eye out, you might have noticed that there have been no champagne pictures on our social media. Our GOLDEN PROTOTYPE is not ready yet. This means another shift in our timeline – Read more
Colour coding We really wanted to keep the great idea of colour coding that exists on the earlier birds. But no bananajacks meant we had to go a different route – we are making coloured jack rings! We will be using blue for gates, yellow for audio and grey Read more
After a number of demonstrations of our Fenix IV ‘Superbooth prototype’ we have been working hard to develop the Fenix IV further and are getting closer to our ‘golden prototype’. Which is the prototype that has everything we want fully functional and is optimized for production. Redesigning the power distribution Read more
So our Fenix IV is out! We presented our prototype at Superbooth and opened up a waiting list (more info). For us presenting our prototype at Superbooth was a go/no go point. To see if designwise we could be ready with a production prototype or at least a functioning prototype Read more
updated 05/01/2022 We opened up a waiting list for people interested in our Fenix IV modular synthesizer during Superbooth19 where we presented our first prototype. We are now OUT OF WAITING LIST and have few Fenixes directly available! Just send an e-mail with the subject I WANT A FENIX IV Read more
Six more weeks until Superbooth… We are working hard on the first Fenix IV prototype and alternate between “this is madness” and “this is awesome”. Probably both are true. All the parts has been tried and tested in Experiment Boards 1, 2 and 3. Everything works and we are happy Read more
This is a lots-of-DSP board. Most of the things on this Experiment board are a shell for DSP. We have developed a plugin board with sufficient processing power and memory to drive all the things. Currently, we have one of these MCU-boards working and connected to Experiment board no 3. Read more
All the experiments on this board have been done: The Wub – a smaller version of our Wobbler advanced lfo – is working! The chord oscillator works and we are still busy tuning it. This part needs more production optimising. The pulse output is still suspiciously quiet. The symmetry Read more
All 1204 parts have been succesfully soldered on. However, this does not mean that everything is working already – or that it doesn’t. Most of this board still needs to be tested and/or needs code first in order to be tested. Thankfully the power works – nothing shorted – and Read more
