A Choice Of DIY Modular Starter Systems

Frequency Central has released Monobloc 01 and 02. They tell us that the idea behind this is that by putting a bunch of modules on one panel there's a cost saving of about 20% versus the individual modules.

01 has only one VCO but has a multimode VCF, two ADSRs and an LFO.

02 has dual VCOs, classic 24dB/oct filter and single ADSR.

A spokesperson said, "Horses for courses. Take your pick from two great little starter standalone systems."

Initial batches of both are shipping with free FC Power PCB, which you can use for testing individual modules, or as a power source to make your Monobloc a standalone system.
