John Blacet has added several new options to his line of modular synthesizers recently:
WC2700 Window Comparator
A voltage controlled window comparator with complete control of output setpoint and width.
Use with envelope or LFO type signals to generate delayed gates and triggers. Or use with audio waveforms for many interesting permutations.
Normal, inverted and trigger outputs with green […]

This is a demo of the Retrosynth MiniROM loaded with PPG wavetables, courtesy of Jason Proctor. You may want to make sure your dog is in another room before you play this…..

The Miniwave is being driven from the sawtooth output of a Serge PCO scaled and offset through an audio mixer and scaling buffer. The […]

John Blacet has announced the winners of the Blacet Too Many Panels Design Contest.
Blacet recently announced the contest, to help deal with his “extreme excess of Multi panels”. Budding synth module designers were challenged to make a useful synth module that used 5 jack holes, and one pot hole.
The Winners:
There were about 50 entries. According […]

John Blacet sends an update on his extreme excess synth module design contest.
Blacet recently announced a contest to solve an interesting design problem: create a synth module with a predetermined panel layout:
“We have an extreme excess of Multi panels (do to a series of unfortunate events!).
Rather than toss them, perhaps someone out there can figure […]

Blacet, a manufacturer of modular synth gear, is looking for synth module ideas.
John Blacet explains:
“We have an extreme excess of Multi panels (do to a series of unfortunate events!). Rather than toss them, perhaps someone out there can figure out a module that would use *only* the existing holes (we can strip and rescreen the […]

Blacet, a modular analog music synthesizer manufacturer, has introduced a new module, the BG 2520. The BG is not an audio module, but a module that can be used to monitor levels within a modular system.
The BG is a 20 element LED bar graph display module. It’s designed to take some of the mystery out […]

Blacet, a manufacturer of modular synthesizer equipment, has introduced the Improbabiliy Drive. The new noise module design provides a variety of noise and random outputs.
Features:

Analog White Noise
Digital Noise with VC Level and Width (Window Comparator)
VC BP or LP Filter
Noise Mixer with Output
VC Sample Hold Clock
External S/H Clock Input
Built in Quantizer
Separate White, Digital, S/H, and Quantized […]

Can a low-frequency oscillator (LFO) be exciting?
Blacet Research thinks so, and has introduced one with features that modular synth fans can get excited about. The Blacet LFO2430K Voltage-Controlled Micro LFO is a compact module that cupplies a powerful variety of waveforms.
The normalization of an internal waveform to the “Rate CV” jack allows the “CV Attn/Wave […]

Blacet Research has expanded its lineup of modular analog equipment with two modules that provide dual circuits, ideal for compact modular systems.
The VCA2410 is a 1/2 space dual linear VCA, and is ideal for compact systems and for controlling modulation sources. Audio and CV signals are processed cleanly by an “audiophile” VCA chip. A “normalling” […]

Blacet claims to have “Some of the Best Compact Synthesizer Modules on the Planet!”, and many modular users would agree.
Blacet is the home of the Klangwerk balanced modulator, Time Machine BBD analog delay, and the Mini Wave wavetable module. Blacet’s modules are designed to use the small FracRak system, but they are electrically compatible […]
