What is the Workshop System?
The Workshop System is an analogue modular synth and a powerful audio computer – designed to be useful and open:
A genre-neutral toolkit, a little box of ways to make and manipulate music and sound.
A patchable, hackable, code-able modular synth that can be used in many different ways.
A system that works with things you already have. Plug in your phone, a drum machine, a laptop, guitar pedals or a microphone.
A computer that uses tiny proprietary program cards that are completely hackable. Anyone who writes code can make, share, sell their creations — sequencers, effects, interfaces.
The Workshop System has 14 modules:
• 2 x SineSquare Oscillators Simple vintage-style oscillators made of 1970s tech.
• 2 x Humpback Filters Similarly vintage-style filters, designed by Philip Goulding of God’s Box.
• 2 x Slopes These work as attack/decay envelopes, LFOs and portamento generators.
• Computer 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.
• Stereo In takes a 3.5mm stereo input and boosts it to modular level.
• Ring Mod is a great-sounding ring modulator, connected to the two sines. It also works as a simple VCA.
• Stompbox 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.
• Amplifier 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.
• 4 Voltages is a minimum viable keyboard: four voltage outputs, one knob, four pushbuttons. More fun to play with than to explain.
• Mix a simple output mixer, with two stereo channels, two mono channels and a powerful headphone amp / line out.
• PSU 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.
The Workshop System includes:
• A rugged hard plastic carry case for easy portability with internal foam cutout to keep the system protected
• 2 x audio adaptor cables to plug a guitar pedal into the Stompbox section of the Workshop System – the cables are 3.5mm (1/8″) Minijack to 6.35mm (1/4″) Jack
• A 20cm DC barrel cable for directly powering a guitar pedal from the front of the Workshop – 9V (centre-negative)
• A keyring and set of 4 x Program Cards to get started using the computer section. The included cards are: a Turing Machine (random looping sequencer), a lush digital Reverb, a MIDI to CV converter and a Blank 2mb card to fill with another function of your choice – or to explore creating programmes of your own. These are NOT regular SD cards, but a proprietary design. Program Card colours will vary and may differ from photographs.
The system oes not include as standard (optional extras):
Eurorack patch cables – we figure that many users of modular synths already have patch cables lying around.
A power cable – The Workshop System has two power options: The easiest way is via USB-C PD power, but you can also use a regular 15-25v DC barrel connection. The system will happily run from battery powerbanks and laptop adaptors.
