Hello, hope you're well.

Is this a surprise? Was it an obvious move? ... I didn't see it coming but Music Thing have taken the computer section of their Workshop System and turned that into the Workshop Computer. It's an 8HP multi-audio/CV/gate in and out device that uses program cards to define a wide range of audio and/or CV processing or generating functions from low level utilities, through exciting and different generators and a range of quirky FX from the more lo fi to hi fi side of things. There's also a new set of RYK cards available which have been loads of fun.

It's a long video, grab the popcorn and over priced drink for this one, but it's still in no way a comprehensive guide to everything this could do. Plenty of the cards would warrant their own demo videos and with the community growing around the Workshop System there's lots to explore.

I'm looking forward to some time with the Workshop System now too, I had to put that to one side for the video on the module but there's going to be fun stuff to explore in a small inspiring system.

Loads of info and links in the video description if you want it, as always see you in the Discord and thank you for your support!

An Inspiring Eurorack Toolbox for Audio & CV // Workshop Computer from Music Thing

Seeing the Music Thing Workshop System grow and develop over recent years have been a lovely thing and it made me happy to see part of it getting broken out into a Eurorack module and for that part to be the Workshop Computer. It's an 8HP Eurorack module that works as digital toolbox for audio and CV which offers all sorts of handy low level utility things, more exciting audio and CV generation and a range of more lo fi and hi fi audio FX. Along with the release of the module are 3 new program cards from RYK, offering pitch shifting delay, vocoding, pitch to voltage and tape style recording and looping. You also get some default Music Thing cards and there's blank cards with a huge range of simple drag and drop a file over USB options for a range of community cards you can get for free too. Check out the links below, loads of info in the timing index to skip around. Enjoy!
