East-Coast-Style Semimodular Analog SynthesizerAnalog synthesizer fans in search of an affordable 100% analog synthesizer will love theCre8audio East Beast, an east-coast-style semimodular synthesizer with a big, fat-sounding voltage-controlled oscillator, a multimode filter, and several performance features. The instrument can be removed from its desktop enclosure and placed into a 40 HP Eurorack case.
Mighty Big Oscillator

• East Beasts oscillator, designed in partnership with the too-serious-for-words people from Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers, is a part of their 5th generation of analog oscillators stemming from a superserious 10 years of continued research into analog oscillator development.
• Its circuitry is not a clone or based on any outside designs. It is made with 100% modern components. This keeps it very stable, and giving it a super-rich, and unique sound.
• Oscillator waveformssine, triangle, saw, and square

PGH Filter

• Most of the filters you are used to hearing are transistor ladder filters, or copies of transistor ladder filters. This is not one of those. The whole goal in making this filter was to create a creamy smooth filter with no dead spots, a very common phenomenon in all filters, but check it out. No dead spots. From nasally to biting and elsewhere, its all one large sweet spot.
• East Beasts filter is a multimode filter, meaning it can be used as a low-pass filter, high-pass filter, bandpass filter, or a combination of the three for an even wider sonic palate.

Envelope and LFOTo further sculpt the sounds, Cre8audio have included an envelope generator and LFO. The custom envelope circuit creates a snappy, percussive attack for expressive performance. The dual range LFO opens up a wide range of LFO and audio rate modulation possibilities.
Get PatchedSemimodular means that the East Beast will work without any patch cables or anything. But what fun is that? Who doesn’t want to get wacky with their own personal spaghetti mess of cables sticking out of their synthesizer? At the very least, it makes you look sophisticated to anyone observing. In any case, East Beast has a whopping 18 Eurorack patchpoints betwixt you can patch and connect to your other gear.
MIDI

• The East Beast offers a fancy MIDI in and MIDI thru, so you can chain multiple MIDI monstrosities together.
• Enjoy plugging a MIDI controller into East Beast and rocking out and/or sequencing like mad? Again, no judgment.

Performance FeaturesEast Beast includes quite a few additional performance features including a built-in tap-tempo clock, arpeggiator, and sequencer. There are a lot of opportunities to inject some randomness, too.SpecificationsGeneral
