Today we are going to talk about the cre8audio West Pest. Is this affordable semi modular analog synthesizer and hommage to Don Buchla ’s West Coast synthesis The Pest? Can it keep up with competitors like the Korg Volca Modular, is it worth it without adding even more Eurorack modules and can it create the strange sounds of the antithesis to Bob Moog ’s East Coast synthesis? Should I get the cre8audio East Beast instead? Thanks to Klangfarbe for letting lending me one of their floor models: Chapters: 00:00 Intro tune 00:52 Overview cre8audio West Pest 01:36 Oscillator 01:53 FM 02:03 Wave Folder 02:23 Dynamics Controller (Buchla Low Pass Gate) 02:48 LFO 03:02 Arpeggiator, Sequencer, Midi 04:00 UI Quirks and Limitations, Multi-Function Modulation Generator 04:25 4 Bit “Display“ 04:35 What else???
