Arturia Minilab now in stock at Switched On

The Arturia Minilab is a compact, intuitive, and well designed controller for virtual instruments. It reads the way an analog synths parameters would be arranged on the hardware and is fairly immediate in being able to map controls to it's surface.Also, it does not need drivers to begin functioning with your laptop, desktop, or even your iPad! We think the Minilab is one of the more attractive controllers aesthetically, functions with ease, and best of all it's price point is $99.99. Read more and purchase H E R E.

Here is a demo briefly going over some of the primary functions within the QPLFO: 



We also replenished our stock of the Pingable Envelope Generator (PEG) and VCA Matrix! (VCAM)

More Make Noise modular in...

We received a new Make Noise modular order in today! Come by the shop, call, or e-mail to purchase some Make Noise modular. 
Phone: (512) 782-8806
E-mail: SwitchedOnAustin@gmail.com 

Today we received....
Echophon
The Echophon is an incredible delay and pitch shifter that can work into the modular sound design flow in the most interesting ways.
Function
The Function can be considered 1/2 of the more well known "Maths" module. Essentially it is a single AR type slope generator that can cycle like an LFO.
ModDemix
The ModDemix is a very unique module that can function as a VCA, Distortion, Ring Modulator, or Mixer. Also noted for having several blinky lights. 
Mult
A mult is essential for every system. You will always need to divide a signal or have basic summing of voltage. 

We also are currently stocked with the DPO (Dual Prismatic Oscillator) and the René sequencer.


Super Synthesis "Super37" Powered Eurorack Case and Keyboard

Switched On is proud to carry the Super Synthesis "Super37", a powered Eurorack modular case and keyboard. Simply plug in a custom array of Euro modules to build your super synth. The Super37 has great keyboard feel, is velocity sensitive, and it has polyphonic midi out, via the rear jack.

The Super37 includes one module with an octave switch and velocity, CV, trig, and gate outputs. By its luminosity, the module's LED bulb indicates the amount of velocity being sent from the keyboard. The module also features a glide control which slews keyboard CV at the output.

Made in Austin, Texas, the Super37 features 104HP of high quality Tip Top Audio Z-rail space, includes a Tip Top Audio powersupply, and has a well-crafted aluminum chassis with stained wood sides.
