Input voltage range of oscillator = 0-10V Specifications for when used as a eurorack module There's a lot of opportunities to inject in some randomness too. You can dive in with its built-in tap tempo clock, arpeggiator, and sequencer. There's really no better way to get West Pest integrated into a DAW environment or connect to a controller.īut wait, there's more! West Pest includes quite a few additional performance features. West Pest has you covered, at least, MIDI-wise. Connect to a DAW, controller, daisy chain, or not. Rewire West Pest's signal flow, or share your favourite elements from West Pest with any other compatible synthesisers and vice versa.Īnd furthermore, the West Pest has got MIDI in, and MIDI through. West Pest provides access to basically 8 different modules (Oscillator, wave contour, dynamics controller, LFO, multi-mod tool, MIDI to CV converter, sequencer, and button keyboard) worth of functionality with a whopping 18 Eurorack compatible patch points to plug into itself and your other gear. But who doesn't want to build a magnificent web of patch cables flowing in and out of their synthesiser? Brewing up sounds the old fashion way like unwavering generations before you, one patch cable at a time is where the real magic happens. Semi-modular means that the West Pest will work without any patch cables. The Dynamics Controller combines the functionality of a VCA with a low pass filter to imitate the behaviour of soundwaves in the real world by dynamically modifying the harmonic content with the volume of the sound. In continuity with the whole West Coast synth vibe, West Pest has a dynamics controller as well as an LFO to further sculpt its sound. In addition to being able to send all of West Pest's waveforms through its wave folder/shaper, you can also input external sound sources. West Pest's wave folder takes what traditional wave folding circuits have done for years and ups the ante, allowing the user to fold previously unfoldable waveforms. Instead of removing harmonics, the wave folder increases the harmonic content of the oscillator by folding the wave in on itself to create sonically rich waveforms. It adds additional dimensions to West Pest's already unique sounding oscillator core.Ī wave folder shapes sounds differently than a filter. West Pest utilizes a custom wave folder to shape the sound. This keeps it very stable, and giving it a super rich, and unique sound.
Its beautiful buzzy circuitry is not a clone or based on any outside designs. West Beast's oscillator, designed in partnership with Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers, stems from 10 long years of stoic commitment to a continuous development of analogue oscillator research and development.
You can also feel free to pop West Pest out of its enclosure and transform it right into a 40HP eurorack module, or keep it in its case and use it anywhere for your West Coast style pleasure. West Pest's huge sonic capabilities emanate from its modest bento box-sized exterior. You'll make fresh & inspiring sounds in a flash. It provides a wide array of sonic capabilities while maintaining a quick and easy workflow. Often, more traditional user interface elements are replaced by the abstract and experimental.Īll that said, West Pest is actually not a deep dive into the abstract. West Coast style is typically characterized by additive derived, rich and complex sounds. The cousin of Cres8audio's East Beast desktop synthesizer, West Pest is a pesty cornucopia of simple complexity. Loosely Buchla-inspired semi-modular synthesis with built-in sequencer, MIDI control and full Eurorack compatibility.įully analogue West Coast style semi-modular synthesizer
: Unreal value from Cre8audio's West Pest, the more experimental sibling to the East Beast.
