Description

Analog synthesizer fans in search of an affordable, 100% analog synthesizer will love Cre8audio West Pest, a west-coast-style semimodular synthesizer with a big, fat-sounding voltage-controlled oscillator, a wavefolder, a dynamics controller, and several performance features. The instrument can be removed from its desktop enclosure and placed into a 40 HP Eurorack case.

Fat, Buzzy Oscillator

West Beast’s oscillator, designed in partnership with the ultraserious people at Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers, stems from 10 long years of stoic commitment to a continuous development of analog oscillator research and development.
Its beautiful buzzy circuitry is not a clone or based on any outside designs. It is made with 100% modern components. This keeps it very stable, and gives it a super-rich, and unique sound.

Waveform Contour

West Pest utilizes a custom wavefolder to shape the sound. It adds additional dimensions to West Pest’s already unique sounding oscillator core.
A wavefolder shapes sounds differently than a filter. Instead of removing harmonics, the wave folder increases the harmonic content of the oscillator by folding the wave in on itself to create sonically rich waveforms.
West Pest’s wave folder takes what traditional wave folding circuits have done for years and ups the ante, allowing the user to fold previously unfoldable waveforms.
In addition to being able to send all of West Pest’s waveforms through its wavefolder/waveshaper, you can also input external sound sources.

Dynamics Controller

In continuity with the whole west-coast synth vibe, West Pest has a dynamics controller as well as an LFO to further sculpt its sound.
The Dynamics Controller combines the functionality of a VCA with a low-pass filter to imitate the behavior of soundwaves in the real world by dynamically modifying the harmonic content with the volume of the sound.

Go Patch Yourself

Semimodular means that the West Pest will work without any patch cables. But what’s the fun in that? Who doesn’t want to build a magnificent web of patch cables flowing in and out of their synthesizer? Brewing up sounds the old fashioned way like unwavering generations before you—one patch cable at a time is where the real magic happens.
West Pest has a whopping 18 Eurorack-compatible patch points to plug into itself and your other gear. Rewire West Pest’s signal flow, or share your favorite elements from West Pest with any other compatible synthesizers and vice versa.

MIDI

The West Pest offers a fancy MIDI in and MIDI thru, so you can chain multiple MIDI monstrosities together.
Enjoy plugging a MIDI controller into West Pest and rocking out and/or sequencing like mad.

Performance Features

West Pest includes quite a few additional performance features including a built-in tap tempo clock, arpeggiator, and sequencer. There's a lot of opportunities to inject in some randomness, too.
