A completely self-contained compact modular synth built into a tough case. This well thought out all in one system has everything you need to get started making sounds and it's small enough to throw into a backpack (or carry on case) and take wherever you want. \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarry case external dimensions: 18 x 25 x 8cm. Unit: 13 x 21 x 3cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's one of the things I was most impressed by at Superbooth this year (and I write this as a decidedly non-modular synth person). Unlike most Eurorack, there's no extra bits required for use - aside from headphones and maybe a battery pack if you're off-grid\/out in the field - it has an onboard mic, stereo input\/output and even has an interface for your pedals. Think of it as a modern compact Synthi AKS or a mini sound design synth\/system to take wherever you go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt only took Tom Whitwell a few minutes to convince me that this is the perfect modular synth for electronic music makers and sound designers who don't 'do' modular (and for those who do and want a portable sound lab). I'm usually underwhelmed by the sound of modular, but this little beauty punches well above its size\/weight sonically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusic Thing Modular Workshop System is a complete modular synth. It is slightly smaller than a hardback book. It comes in a foam-lined hard case, PSU \u0026amp; patch cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Workshop System was designed to be useful and open:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA genre-neutral toolkit, a little box of ways to make and manipulate music and sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA patchable, hackable, code-able modular synth that can be used in many different ways.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA system that works with things you already have. Plug in your phone, a drum machine, a laptop, guitar pedals or a microphone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA computer that uses tiny program cards that are completely hackable. Anyone who writes code can make, share, sell their creations - sequencers, effects, interfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Workshop System has 14 modules:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 x SineSquare Oscillators Simple vintage-style oscillators made of 1970s tech.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 x Humpback Filters Similarly vintage-style filters, designed by Philip Goulding of God’s Box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Slopes These work as attack\/decay envelopes, LFOs and portamento generators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputer Is a multi-function module with knobs, a switch and audio, CV and pulse ins and outs. Initially, the system comes with a USB MIDI card, a Turing Machine sequencer and a Reverb card. A community of programmers are creating more cards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStereo In takes a 3.5mm stereo input and boosts it to modular level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing Mod is a great-sounding ring modulator, connected to the two sines. It also works as a simple VCA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStompbox is an interface for guitar pedals, with blend and feedback controls to make boring pedals more interesting. There’s a 9v power outlet for pedals below this module.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplifier contains two simple circuits. One is connected to a piezo contact mic behind the panel, the other is the transistor-based input circuit from a MiniMoog. In other words, a Mikrophonie and a Mini Drive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Voltages is a minimum viable keyboard: four voltage outputs, one knob, four pushbuttons. More fun to play with than to explain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMix a simple output mixer, with two stereo channels, two mono channels and a powerful headphone amp \/ line out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePSU behind the panel is a power supply that runs on USB-C PD power or professional 15-25v barrel connectors. It works from battery powerbanks and laptop adaptors, most likely something you’ve already got at home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Soundgas","offers":[{"title":"Assembled Workshop System with PSU + Patch Cables","offer_id":57301162492281,"sku":"MTM02","price":654.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Assembled Workshop System with PSU","offer_id":57301162459513,"sku":"MTM01","price":625.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/7796\/8739\/files\/MTM_Workshop-System-case_open-straight_on.jpg?v=1779119935","url":"https:\/\/soundgas.com\/products\/music-thing-modular-workshop-system-desktop-eurorack-synthesiser","provider":"Soundgas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
