The East Beast is a subtractive monophonic synthesizer is a fresh take on old-school concepts with a few beastly twists thrown in here and there. Big filter cutoff knobs, envelope generators and fat-sounding voltage-controlled oscillators are hallmarks of East Coast-style synthesis, captured in the East Beast.

Fully patchable, East Beast’s components can be used as separate modules with external devices or to reroute its internal patching.

It’s like having nine individual modules: oscillator, filter, envelope, VCA, LFO, multi-mod tool, sequencer, MIDI to CV converter and button keyboard—all in one supercharged semi-modular synth. Features 32-step sequencer with up to 13 presets Generative sequencing mode and clock-synced arpeggiator Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizer-developed 100% analog oscillator Sine, triangle, saw, square and pitched noise oscillator waveforms can be combined Oscillator includes pulse-width modulation (PWM) and frequency modulation (FM) Variable-state, multi-mode PGH “No-Dead-Spots” filter (low pass, band pass, high pass; modes can be combined) Analog envelope generator and integrated VCA Dual-range analog LFO with triangle wave output Digital multi-mod tool—modulation control via CV, random generator, and extra LFO and envelope generator Internal clock, built-in clock divider and tap tempo that can be clocked via an external source Can be used standalone in its included case or removed and used as a Eurorack format module
