East Beast is a fresh take on these old-school concepts with a few beastly twists thrown in here and there.
Oh and by the way, we almost forgot to mention, if you are into the whole eurorack thing, you can pop East Beast out of its included enclosure and it transforms right into a 40HP eurorack module. We should’ve called it Optimus Beast!
East coast style subtractive monophonic synthesizer
Controllable via MIDI, CV, and integrated button keyboard
Fully patchable – use East Beast’s components as separate modules with external devices or reroute its internal patching. It’s like having 9 individual modules (Oscillator, filter, envelope, VCA, LFO, multi-mod tool, sequencer, MIDI to CV converter, and button keyboard).
32 step sequencer with up to 13 presets
Generative sequencing mode
Clock-synced arpeggiator
Step sequencer can be manipulated & transposed via MIDI and the integrated button keyboard
Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizer developed 100% analog oscillator
Oscillator waveforms – sine, triangle, saw, square, and pitched noise – Waveforms can be combined
Oscillator includes pulse-width modulation (PWM) and frequency modulation (FM)
Variable state, multi-mode PGH “No-Dead-Spots” filter (lowpass, bandpass, highpass, modes can be combined)
Analog envelope generator
Integrated VCA
Dual-range analog LFO with triangle wave output
Digital multi-mod tool – modulation control via CV, random generator, and extra LFO and envelope generator
Internal clock with tap tempo and can be clocked via an external source.
Built-in clock divider
Can be used standalone in its included case or removed and used as a eurorack format module
Specifications for when used as a eurorack module
Width when used as a module = 40hp
Depth when used as a module = 25mm
213mA power draw when running +12V rail
151mA power draw when running -12V
Input voltage range of oscillator = 0-10V
Included in the box – 1x East Beast, 1x East Beast wall-wart power supply, 5x Amazing Nazca Noodles Patch Cables, 1x 3.5mm to 5 pin (Type “A”) MIDI Din pigtail, and love (love’s presence likely, but not guaranteed)
