With Etches, you can just sit down and play. It’s a simple machine with a huge sound. You can layer parts, add rich built-in effects and arrange splices to design vast soundscapes. First batch is on schedule to ship next week!

What do you do with your Etches once it arrives?
We created a quick tutorial series covering all of Etches’s essential functions. See the full playlist on our YouTube channel

The first video in the Etches tutorial series. Covers power, output, and the fundamentals of how the instrument responds to touch.
Etches runs on a standard 9V center-negative supply and outputs stereo over a 1/8” TRS jack — break it out with a Y-adapter or insert cable for two discrete channels. The note array along the bottom of the instrument doesn’t produce sound on its own; the SWELL pad is the volume control, and you’ll have a finger on it whenever you’re playing.
The articulation pads are touch-resistive, responding to surface area of contact rather than mechanical pressure. Rocking a finger across a pad changes the response as more or less of the fingertip rolls onto the surface.
The SENS k**b calibrates pad sensitivity to your environment. Set too low, pads will trigger false notes and double-hits. Set too high, light touches won’t register. The sweet spot drifts with humidity, skin condition, and the surface Etches is resting on — most situations land between 1 and 2 o’clock.
Covered in this video:
• Power and stereo output
• How the touch-resistive pads respond
• SWELL as volume control
• Calibrating SENS
Next: the remaining articulation pads — STAC, DRIVE, and INVERSE.

Etches is now available for pre-order ✨
After 15 months of development we are thrilled to make Etches available for pre-order. The first batch will be limited and shipping in early June.

Etches is a performance instrument inspired by live modular techniques and sound design. Well, not a modular synth on its own it employs a lot of West Coast synthesis techniques, along with a splice recorder and built in space processing.

It can function as a standalone sound design instrument or as part of a larger electronic music rig.

See the “hardware” link in bio for more details, videos and the in-depth user manual.

JOTS Tricks: Switch Glitch, performance glitching.

Two modes, one track. Flip between them and your loop starts coming apart in ways you didn’t plan.

DUB Mode plays your track back straight. GEN Mode runs modulation on it — start points, end points, drifting around on their own. Switch between the two while you’re playing and you’ve got a clean loop one second, a mangled version the next. Good for live sets when you want to break things on purpose.

Just one of the things Jots can do.

🎛️ Jots is a dual-track sound sketch machine with 2 stereo tracks (30 sec each), three recording states, a morphing filter, and LFO modulation of loop points in GEN Mode. Built for stacking ideas, resampling accidents, and letting things go sideways in the best possible way.

We’re over here finalizing the synth section of Etches. Just modified a bunch of phase modulation params, testing them out with plucky, glassy and woody sounds 🐦 almost ready for pre-orders I think 😮 ✨

Etches is an incredibly versatile sound machine. But one thing it excels that is soundscapes and cinematic textures. Lots of low frequencies here for the full experience use 🎧. See the Etches product page in bio for more info.

Interweaving 2 tracks in JOTS with HIDE 🌀

Track 1 -> HIDE rides the fader with musically random attenuation

Track 2 -> HIDE follows Track 1 inversely

A simple trick to make your JOTS tracks interact with musical dynamism 💪 🤩

JOTS Tricks: Filtered Echoes 🎛️
One input. Two tracks. Filter one, randomize its playback points — and suddenly you’ve got a ghostly, filtered version of yourself echoing back in fragments.
This is just one of the creative recording functions JOTS opens up.
