Vintage chips, reawakened
New life for old silicon.
Characterful FM, SID, AY, NES, and hybrid analog/digital engines, rebuilt into expressive instruments with immediate hands-on control.
Product line
Hand-assembled to order: synths, sequencers, and drum machines built for immediate control.
Performance hardware
Front panels that invite deep exploration.
Dense rows of faders, knobs, buttons, LEDs, and ribbon controls keep sound design tactile. Patterns, presets, randomizers, arpeggiators, and MIDI automation sit close to the surface.
- Store, morph, randomize, and perform presets.
- Sequence drums, basslines, chords, and chip textures.
- Patch MIDI, USB, DIN, sync, CV, and audio into a larger rig.
Inside the panel
Dial in motion, then keep pushing until the machine answers back.
Preset morphs, randomizers, and ribbons turn happy accidents into repeatable moves.
Each control cluster is designed to reveal another layer as you stay with it.
