    1. It sounds really great, and the demo is sweet. Is there anything else you can tell us? Price, availability?

      At one moment in the video I thought I heard the width of a pulse wave being swept. Is this right? Is there PWM?

      1. Thanks, its very encouraging to have positive feedback. Yep, the pulse wave can get its PWM from the envelope, with the “skinny” end of the pulse at the attack. Also its summed with external PWM if that is patched.

        If all the parts come in on time we should have them available before the end of the year. Price… not too much 🙂

  1. sounds fantastic! for the eurorack version, the midi interface is a bit of an overkill, maybe leaving this out to reduce the kit’s cost?

  2. Aww hell yeah! I have a DC2e from Rare Waves that’s one of the best-sounding and most-inspiring things in my studio.Can’t wait to check this out!
