The Reptilian: Now available!

Over the past few months I've been getting a lot of people asking me when I would have Reptilians to sell. Well, after a long wait I finally have them ready to ship! It is available as an assembled module or as a kit.

The Reptilian is a voltage controlled distortion/waveshaper. It uses comparators to create crossover distortion to distort/shape the incoming signal, adding harmonics. A passive low-pass filter helps round out square-wave-like waveforms which are sometimes difficult to alter, due to the nature of comparators. The module uses two crossover distortion stages, the first one is capable of being controlled via CV.

The Reptilian: VC Distortion/Waveshaper

I finally got around to finishing another module. The Reptilian! A voltage controlled distortion/waveshaper. It uses crossover distortion to add harmonics and distort/shape the incoming signal in interesting ways.


Shift: This sets the initial crossover distortion amount by offsetting the positive and negative peaks to their opposites.

Bias-X: Adds harmonics to the signal with another stage of cross-over distortion. The harmonics are sweepable.

CV: The Bias-X can be voltage controlled.

Level: Boosts and cuts the output signal. Center is unity.

Lowpass: A passive lowpass to the incoming signal. Helpful with square waveforms, that are usually absent of of a defined crossover point to the signal.

Arp-8 to be released in a few days.

You can soon purchase an Arp-8 module on Etsy 9/29/14. Why Etsy? Well, I currently can only afford to do a small run of modules. This will fund future, larger-scale, production runs. As well as give me the opportunity to manufacture other modules.

The price is $180. I'll put the link up once its posted. Or you can look up the store LCF Industries, on the site the day it goes on sale.

Arp-8 updates!

It's been awhile since I've been able to update. With backorders on parts, problems with the panels, and just general family craziness, it's taking longer than expected. But I do have some updates! I finally got the rest of the parts that were on backorder, and I was able to update the firmware a bit to add some nifty features. The Rate, Octave, and Direction parameters can now be changed via MIDI!

Rate         - CC#16
Octave     - CC#17
Direction  - CC#18

 Here's a short video of the Arp-8 playing from my DAW with all three parameters being changed from MIDI automation. I'll try and get a longer video soon

16-Seq Demo Video

I finally was able to upload a somewhat short demo of the 16 step sequencer. I mostly go over the Direction knob and the quantizer. Hope you enjoy it!
