A 400-page journey through Roland’s 50 years of inspiration, innovation, and insight!

The new book about modular synths, their makers, and masters. Patching secrets, performance tips, history, modules, and techniques.

PATCH & TWEAK with KORG is an in-depth look at Korg’s diverse collection of patchable synthesizers – the MS-20 mini, ARP 2600 M, and volca modular, as well as the SQ-1 and SQ-64 sequencers and the NTS-2 Oscilloscope. 

PATCH & TWEAK with Moog is the ultimate resource for Moog synthesizer enthusiasts and musicians of all skill levels interested in an immersive modular synthesis experience.

PEDAL CRUSH explores guitar effects pedals as a tool for everyone: showing how all musicians – producers, DJs, instrumentalists, vocalists and of course guitarists – can benefit creatively from using stompboxes in different ways.

NEW Updated 2021-version with stunning new print and paper quality! Featuring more than 30 new or updated instruments — including the Polyend Tracker, the new Haken Continuum models, ASM Hydrasynth, Sensel Morph, Novation Launchpad X, and many others.

PUSH TURN MOVE is a brand new book on electronic music instruments and a must-have for every synth and design freak.

SYNTH GEMS 1 wurde von dem bekannten Synthesizer-Experten und Musikjournalisten "Dr. Mike" Metlay verfasst und kuratiert. Das neueste Buch des dänischen Boutique-Verlag Bjooks (Push Turn Move u.a.) nimmt den Leser mit auf eine chronologische Reise durch eine einzigartige Auswahl von über 60 Synthesizern - einige beliebt, einige selten, alle wunderschön. SYNTH GEMS 1 richtet sich sowohl an Synthesizer-Neulinge als auch an erfahrene Elektronikmusiker und umspannt den kritischen historischen Zeitraum von 1970 bis 2000 mit atemberaubenden Fotos und detaillierten Artikeln, die die Geschichte, die Technologie und das Vermächtnis jedes Instruments erklären.

The Erica Synths Black 3109 VCF/VCA is a lowpass filter and voltage-controlled amplifier combo built around the AS3109 VCF integrated circuit, a contemporary version of the IR3109 chip, found on vintage Roland synths such as the Jupiter series, Juno series and the SH-101.

Erica Synths Black Dual VCF is a dual multimode filter with CV control over cutoff and resonance for serious modular patches.

The Erica Synths Envelope Generator 2 is a re-triggerable, looping envelope generator with some unconventional features that are very useful for experimental setups. What sets the Black EG2 apart from other envelope generators is its optional GATE LENGTH setting, which allows for generating full ADSR envelopes even if a short trigger is used at the input. Likewise, in LOOP mode, the module outputs a full ADSR envelope instead of a classical AD envelope. The gate length is both manual and CV controlled, which allows for using this envelope generator in compact modular setups controlled by trigger sequencers only.

Erica Synths Black Hole DSP 2, an updated version of Black Hole DSP features 24 custom effects, designed in close co-operation of Erica Synths team rider KODEK and creator of SpinCAD software Gary Worsham.

Erica Synths Black Joystick2 is 4 channel (2 axis on each channel) multi functional CV and sound source – joystick, movement recorder, distinct LFO and drone/noise oscillator. It provides great interaction with the modular system and allows to develop unconventional modulation patterns easily.

The Erica Synths Black K-Phaser is our take on a classical, genre defining FX unit – the Krautrock Phaser.

Erica Synths Black LPG is our take on Lowpass Gate idea – it’s designed from scratch featuring 2nd order lowpass VCF (the original Buchla lowpass gate was 1st order VCF) and VCA combo with distinct resonance circuit on top.
