Tap on video to view properly. Full kits in stock Tap on video to view properly. Full kits in stock now, this thing is a little gem. Missed Opportunities is a slim, convenient way to add life and variation to drum beats. At its core, it’s a set of probabilistic gates for pulse signals (similar to a Bernoulli gate). But like any module focused on a particular function, it can easily be mixed into all kinds of non-percussion patches to add a bit of spice. The on-board random generator means that it can be used as four channels of random pulses, but it really shines when spliced between two modules in a conventional patch to mix things up. And because it has four channels, it can easily do a bit of both simultaneously! Missed Opportunities offers not only four channels of probabilistic gating, but also a random pulse generator that’s normalled to channel 1 with no input connected. It features a Density input to add CV control over the likelihood of skipping and a Reset input to jump to the start of the current seed (more on that in the manual!). The input of each channel is normalled to the output of the prior channel, with the exception of channel 1 which is fed by the random generator if nothing is plugged in. Each channel offers a different probability value, and even more can be obtained by chaining the channels. But what makes Missed Ops really special is the Missed/Match switch, which allows interesting channel patterns to be created through normalling.
IMÁGENES is out now! Click through to check out t IMÁGENES is out now! Click through to check out the demo and build video from Synth DIY Guy - Link in bio - https://www.thonk.co.uk/shop/olivella-modular-imaganes/ IMÁGENES is a stereo state-variable filter with built-in stereo imaging, panning, distortion, modulation capabilities and plenty of character. Features highpass, bandpass and lowpass modes that are switchable independently per filter, with L & R OUTs straight from the filters themselves for individual/dual mono operation. The STEREO IMAGE circuit pans the filter's audio from hard L / R at the knob's CW position, mono at 12 o'clock, inverted R \ L at its CCW position and everywhere in between, allowing everything from subtle stereo effects and crossfading, to aggressive AM and weird stereo stuff. This circuit comprises of 4 internal VCA's and is completely independent from the filters. IMÁGENES has a LINK switch to slave the right side filter cutoff frequency to the left side, which allows for both filters to be controlled simultaneously, either manually or via CV and V/OCT control. Both filter frequencies and image are fully CV controllable up to audio rates, with dedicated attenuverters for all these inputs. IMÁGENES can also self-oscillate cleanly across the audio spectrum and has dedicated V/OCT inputs with good tracking over 5 octaves. This means you can use the module as a dual/stereo sine VCO and it also pings very nicely! Soft-clipping is applied to the input when going past 12 o'clock on the INPUT LEVEL knob, giving a fatter sound for the filters to chew on. When the DRIVE  switch is engaged the audio input amplitude triples after the soft-clipping stage and right before the filters; this can be used to bring weak signals up to modular level or to overdrive and distort the filters.
Happy new year to all our customers, comrades, col Happy new year to all our customers, comrades, collaborators & colleagues new and old! 2021... We're amazed and thankful that despite all the challenges it posed us all in our personal and working lives, Thonk still shipped more orders in the past 12 months than in any previous year. We feel ready as we enter our tenth year of existence! 😲😀🌈☀️🍾 Bonne année! Here's to a happy and healthy 2022 ❤
On sale now! Check link in bio or thonk.co.uk @er On sale now! Check link in bio or thonk.co.uk @ericasynths and @moritzklein0 have developed a series of educational DIY kits under the brand name mki x es.EDU with one specific goal in mind: to teach people with little-to-no prior experience how to design analog synthesizer circuits from scratch. What you’ll find in the box is not simply meant to be soldered together and then disappear in your rack. Instead, we want to take you through the circuit design process step by step, explaining every choice we’ve made and how it impacts the finished module. The mki x es.EDU VCO is the first educational DIY kit in this series and will be available from Thonk some time around January 6th. It is an analog sawtooth-core oscillator with a reasonably accurate volt/octave tracking, made from just a handful of basic components. It features sawtooth and pulse outputs as well as 1V/oct, FM, and PWM inputs. In total, Erica and Moritz have developed 9 kits to build a fully-featured modular monosynth: a sequencer, a VCO, a wavefolder, a noise/S&H module, a mixer, a VCF, an Envelope generator, a dual VCA, and an output stereo mixer with a headphone amplifier. Additionally, an affordable eurorack case with a DIY PSU will also be available. While these kits are easy to build, we did not compromise on design and functionality. We will launch one kit every 4-6 weeks. Each kit comes with an extensive user manual (40+ pages) that will dive deep into not only the electronics behind each circuit but also the fundamental principles of sound synthesis. We hope that the mki x es.EDU project will inspire future engineers and will contribute to the ever-growing diversity of electronic music technology. NB! All kits in these series are simple and come with extensive user manuals, therefore Erica and Thonk will not provide customer support in case your DIY build fails to function or similar.
Our social media and customer service peeps are no Our social media and customer service peeps are now finished for Xmas and back on Jan 5th. Our shipping backlog will keep going out the door until the end of Dec 23rd, new orders placed today might ship between Xmas and New Year but maybe not 'til January. What a year! Despite all the challenges we shipped more orders in the last 12 months than ever before! 😲😍 Thanks to everyone for your support, if you do Xmas then have a good one of those... and happy new year!

We have a very limited restock on these three kits We have a very limited restock on these three kits from Random Source! It's a few years since we had the mighty Resonant EQ kit in stock. Due to certain parts used becoming very difficult to find during the pandemic we are not expecting to be able to re-kit these modules again until at least winter 2022.
EDIT: WHOAH. Those sold out fast 🤓 More kits al EDIT: WHOAH. Those sold out fast 🤓 More kits already on the way for Mid December! Noise Plethora is out today and on sale now! A monster new release from @befacosynth, Noise Plethora is a multi-algorithmic three-channel noise generator in 14HP. The module has small displays that show you which of the algorithms is currently active. You can select between dozens of algorithms manually or CV-control the selection. Each algorithm has a set of CV-controllable X/Y parameters allowing for subtle movements all the way through to growling sweeps! There are dedicated analog multimode filters for each channel (LP/BP/HP). The filters allow some warmth to be added to the noise, and the range of filters makes it easy to sculpt different textures and noises and play with them intuitively and musically. The filtering stage also offers CV control for further modulation of the sound. The first two noise channels let you choose from a range of different algorithms and each channel can be controlled dynamically by two CV controls. Textures, rumbles, low-fi blips, spikes, oscillator clusters, harsh noises, and much more can be chosen and changed on the fly! The third channel differs from the other two and has three independent outs: White noise, Gritty noise and also a filtered output with the option to route either gritty or white noise through the filter. Gritty noise specialises in creating crispy and crackling sound landscapes, there is a CV control for grit quantity as well.

We are very happy to announce that we raised £6,0 We are very happy to announce that we raised £6,000 for local charities during our 'Not Black Friday' appeal last week. We split this evenly between three local charities in our area. Brighton & Hove Food Partnership help Brighton's emergency food services this winter, RISE is an independent, Brighton-based registered charity that helps people affected by domestic abuse and The Clocktower Sanctuary is the only drop-in day centre for homeless 16-to-25 year olds in Brighton. You can swipe right to see the responses we received from each charity to these donations. Thanks to all our customers who helped us, this beats the amount we raised for charity last year on Black Friday. It's a donation of all the profit we made on November 26th 2021. Here's to our Black Friday charity appeal in 2022! @theclocktowersanctuary @btnhovefood
Once again we are doing a charity appeal today rat Once again we are doing a charity appeal today rather than a Black Friday sale. All profit we make on orders placed today, Friday November 26th (in your time zone) will be donated to local charities. Please share.

Designed to integrate external signals into the mo Designed to integrate external signals into the modular world, Unknown Devices @unwndevices presents Sawari: a combination of preamplification, equalization, and envelope follower. Sawari is another take on Music Thing Modular’s Microphonie and Mutable Instruments Ears, but wait, there’s more! Link in bio. Sawari offers up to 40dB of gain for high impedance instruments – great for introducing electric guitars, basses, or external contact microphones. From there, a three-band EQ provides everything from subtle shaping to extreme resonating frequencies. By default, each band offers up to 6dB of boost or cut, but this can be extended up to 12dB by pressing the EQ Boost button. Additionally, each EQ band has an individual output, offering creative flexibility for multi-band processing of the input signal. Lot of features where kept (and amplified) from Ears (and Microphonie), Sawari also has a contact microphone under the panel and an envelope follower which can be now controlled with the attack and release potentiometers on the panel. The envelope follower can be set to either pre or post EQ with on a jumper on the back of the module—great for making precise frequency-based modulations. Sawari’s main output is processed through a diode clipping limiter, allowing for overdriven and hard-clipping tones. The main output sums the pre-amplified input or internal contact microphone with the modules auxiliary input as well. Features - All SMD pre-soldered - High impedance preamplifier, up to 40dB gain - Built-in contact microphone - 3-band EQ, with tunable low and high shelf frequencies - Selectable gain range, +/-6dB or +/-12dB - Separate outs for each band - Envelope follower with attack and release time control - Pre or post eq selectable by a jumper on the back - Width: 8HP - Depth 25mm - Power: 35 mA +12V, 35 mA -12V Link in bio!
Reposted from @my_one_opus Two more builds done! T Reposted from @my_one_opus Two more builds done! These two #NorthCoastSynthesis modules were kits from @thonksynth and hands down, they have the most in-depth build documentation (including explanations of the circuit as you build and calibrate) and highest quality components I’ve had in a kit! Would highly recommend either (or both) the #MiddlePathVCO or the #LeapfrogFilter either for build experience or sound, albeit the calibration on the leapfrog was quite long (and I didn’t do the full version either as it sounds great with just the standard!) #sdiy #modularsynth #modularsynthdiy #eurorack #eurorackdiy #soldering #complexvco #filter
