Music Thing Modular Workshop Computer Full DIY Kit

Workshop Computer is a simple but capable Eurorack format music computer module, inspired by the early music studios like EMS in London and Bell Labs, where computers were used to control analog oscillators and filters, compose algorithmic music and generate waveforms. Because it’s no longer 1968, Workshop Computer is powerful enough to do audio effects, sequencing and can connect with other devices over USB.

The computer can originally found in the Music Thing Workshop system, which also includes a powerful analog toolkit. Now the Computer section is available as an 8HP Eurorack module that’s guaranteed to be a useful and creative addition to any sized system!

The module has three pairs of inputs and outputs:  one for Audio/CV, one for pulses, and precision CV for pitch. There are three knobs for controlling the computer and one 3-way toggle switch (ON-OFF-MOMENTARY).

Workshop Computer loads programs stored on hot-swappable custom-made program cards. The Computer comes with seven program cards included:

• Reverb+ is a great-sounding old-school stereo reverb with some useful utilities including sequencing and MIDI.
• Turing Machine is a random looping sequencer with two channels and multiple scales.
• Simple MIDI turns the module into a USB-MIDI interface to send and receive MIDI.
• It also comes with 4 x blank program cards which you can write with a downloaded file.

• Features:

  • Programmable Music Computer module with hot-swappable PGM cards.
  • Includes Reverb, Simple MIDI, Turing Machine and a blank card to add a program of your choice.
  • Growing library of PGM cards being created by the development community.
