GOING OUT OF BUSINESS/CLOSING UP SHOP

7/11/2016

​Hi all,

I have been thinking on this for quite some time and have finally come to the decision to hang up Laurentide SynthWorks.

The batch of Shruthi/Ambika that was just shipped to Modular Addict is the last batch that I will be doing. I will be putting together one more run of VG2 kits together that will also be available at Modular Addict, after that I will be discontinuing it as well as the PRM2.

I also have an unreleased module with full kits already assembled. Those will be for sale at Knobcon in September.

I did not come to decision easily and it took me about 6 months to finally say I'm done. It wasn't easy to come to terms with, but the reality of it is that it was getting way to difficult juggling family and a demanding day job. Plus, the passion was fading and it was feeling more like a regular job, which is not at all why I started it in the 1st place.

I want to thank everyone for being supportive and totally awesome. I have met a lot of great people over the years and made a ton of new friends. I'll still remain active in the scene, just no longer as a manufacturer.

Thanks again and I hope to see you at Knobcon one last time.

2/8/2016

0 Comments

 
ALL AMBIKA AND SHRUTHI PCB's, CASES & CHIPS CAN BE PURCHASED FROM MODULAR ADDICT!
In a joint venture, Modular Addict will hosting be all Laurentide SynthWorks Shruthi & Ambika products! We will still be the manufacturer and offer full technical support. The only thing that is changing is where they will be purchased from.
The biggest benefit to this is we will eventually be rolling out full kits for Shruthi per PCB, so you will be able to mix and match filters with the control PCB and get all of the parts you need! We will also be rolling out the other filter boards (Polivoks, Yellow Magic and FX/Digital Board) as well as case options for both Shruthi, Shruthi XT as well as Ambika!

We just made the XT boards available in the store!

Currently we don't have any cases available, but will have some fancy all-metal cases up for sale as soon as they are finished being made.  They will be coming from the same guy that makes the metal Ambika and Shruthi cases, so you know they'll be badass.

Product/Stock Update

Currently the VG2 kits & Ambika White Metal Cases are out of stock.  Everything should be back in stock within the next 2 weeks, so keep an eye out in the store.  I will also announce it here and on FB.

Additionally, I ordered a small initial run of the Shruthi XT PCB's.  I'll have 10 to start and if there's enough interest I'll order a larger batch.  I'm also working on getting metal enclosures for the XT.  They will be white and all metal, similar to the Ambika case.  These, however are about a month out.

I've got some other announcements, but those will have to wait a bit longer, so stay tuned!

Buchla 208r Patch #2

4/23/2015

0 Comments

 
I have been swooned.

Patch making use of the inverter.  Using the pulser to trigger the CO LPG which is being controlled by the sequencer.  Then sending the pulser into the inverter to trigger the MO LPG which is set to a triangle wave drone.  Also using the inverted pulser to control timbre & index amounts (which I switch from AM to FM).

Finished with some Cathedral Spring Reverb and MF-104 Delay.

Buchla 208r Clone Demo

4/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Can't remember the last time I made an audio demo!  I just recently finished building the 208 and modded it to track to 1V/Oct.  This one is all mine!

Descrption:

Demo of the Buchla 208 module clone. This is rev 2 by Roman Roman Filippov. He came into possession of an original Music Easel and painstakingly traced out every single circuit board to make an exact replica. All of the parts used are the exact same as in the original 208, even the crazy expensive UA726 matched transistors.

This demo is a self-playing patch with some minor tweaking. Effects used: Moogerfooger MF-104M .
