Cre8audio West Pest Coast Semi-Modular Synthesizer

Designed in collaboration with Pittsburgh Modular, the West Pest is a modern West Coast synth that uses an in-house custom circuit for fat, buzzing, and peculiar Buchla-like sounds.
West Coast synthesizers use wavefolding and combination VCA/low pass filters, often referred to as low pass gates. The West Pest uses these techniques with a unique Waveform Contour section, letting you dial in the right about of grit with a satisfyingly large Timbre knob. Fine-tune the harmonics with a resonance knob and bring some movement in with a modulation knob.

The Dynamics Contour is where you can create those characteristic snappy plucks or bongo sounds. A fast attack quickly opens the VCA and the Sustain and Decay are up to you to control with a low pass filter gently rolling off the highs as the amplitude falls. Both the wavefolder and the dynamics controller have independent inputs that are accessible via the patchbay—along with 18 other patch points—letting you re-route anything on the West Pest or bring in any other audio device.

Designed to be self-contained or to expand your existing Eurorack setup, it also features a built-in LFO with triangle and square waveforms, a built-in sequencer, and options aplenty. You can also plug in your MIDI controller or use the built-in button keyboard to create melodic lines or manipulate the sequencer/arpeggiator.
