Looks very appealing to me, if there’s enough distinction to the Neutron in practice then this is instabuy - seems rude not to pair them up.

The Neutron 3340 already offers sine from its 3340 take which is otherwise quite flexible shape-wise.

A new filter type would be good here as much as the Neutron one is strong on bass retention in resonance. Different flavours always welcome.

Looks tidy, hopefully sounds good.

Wee gear is all and well, but playability suffers, this is the sweetspot size for bang/m3

The appearance reminds me of 90’s 32bit windows VST aesthetic.

Which doesn’t completely bother me :thinking:

Between my Clarett 8pre, Virus B and Pulsar-23, all my hardware is red and/or black. :smiley:

They moved the patch point labels to the top of the jack, which I guess is more common in the modular world, but now it doesn’t match the Neutron!

Hard to judge from computer screen colors, but this blue looks more subdued compared to their 2600 Blue Marvin.

Neutron, Proton…
The next one is Electron. Syntakt confirmed?

To be fair, this is a bit more Winalot Prime than the Neutron’s Tesco Value but still, I imagine that Fido would make short work of it.

Anyway, it looks a decent synth and a nice alternative to the Neutron - continuing the theme that I prefer B* when they do their own thing rather than ‘be inspired’ but ultimately it’s just not for me…

Electron will be the Syntakt clone. They already have the plans.

Not that fun at the time really, messed with it in my 1st year electrician apprentice class. Everyone else thought it was meh but I was like omg it’s a modular synth! Definitely could use the function generator in a test equipment set-up like Hainbach.

This is sooo exciting that I will probably get both. Insane value point at 299 each. I love how Neutron sounds and I doubt this one will be any worse. It’s great that they are innovating new ideas as well.

No fair… we had pieces of plywood with batten lamp holders and pieces of twin and earth back in my day :joy:

Although we did have some fun with a variac and some pieces of tinfoil all in the name of using the correct value of fuse/fuse wire :sunglasses:

Looks like I may have finally found my B2600’s new friend! So much cheaper than buying all those utilities individually.

It looks so volkish.
