Great little synth

For 8-Bit Synthesizer

This is a great little synth. Fun to play with and produce all of the sounds.
I asked the seller some questions and he immediately answered them. I recommend this to anyone
who wants an inexpensive electronic sound producer.

Response from Handmade Electronic Instruments | March 16, 2022

Always happy to help! Hope you get some neat sounds from it. Thanks again.

Fantastic and powerful little unit.

For Passive Filter

Quickly shipped and arrived as described. More importantly, it sounds fantastic! I had no idea that a passive filter could sound so clean, smooth and powerful.

Response from Handmade Electronic Instruments | Feb. 12, 2021

So glad to hear that you like it! Thank you again.

fantastic product - built to last - great price

For 4x4 Matrix Mixer

This is a perfect device - it does a simple thing very well and its built to last forever. It's turned mixing into a full complex instrument for me setup that is amazingly entertaining and productive to play.

Excellent specialized device

For Clock Trigger (Audio to 5V Pulse Converter)

I have a couple old school analog drum machines that I've always wanted to integrate into a modern environment. This little device is a godsend. I can now keep my vintage TR-77 and AutoVari-64 as original and not mod a midi connection or clock output to them. I take one of the audio outputs and feed it into this little device and that's all there is to it. I now have a clock gate I can sync with gate/cv or convert that to midi. The drum machines drive the clock speed, so it's a one way controller, but at least now I have a way to sync my old gear with modern tech. It's built like a tank, and they shipped it across the country from California to Florida way faster than expected. Faster than many big brand online sellers.

Handmade Electronic Instruments and Michael Rucci make great original music tools.

Response from Handmade Electronic Instruments | Dec. 12, 2019

So glad to hear! Sounds like an amazing setup. Thanks again.

Massive sounding drone machine

For Maximal Drone

The Maximal Drone is very aptly named. You can get nice textural drones using only two or three of its six oscillators, and using all six at once gives a sound so thick that it becomes hard to distinguish the contribution of any one, the interactions can become very sonically complex. This gives you a lot of flexibility in shaping the sound, as you can change chordal textures by switching oscillators in and out of the mix.

The filter character is very interesting, it sounds reminiscent of a bipolar tone control like you'd find on some guitar amps, where at its full bass adjustment, it acts like a lowpass filter, and twisted all the way to treble, it sounds like a highpass filter, which gives you interesting options for putting it in a mix without interfering with another bass synth, for example.

All in all, a nice drone machine, and it kind of makes me want another so I can pan them apart and make even bigger drone soundfields.

Response from Handmade Electronic Instruments | Sept. 17, 2017

Thank you very much for the review. I'm glad that you enjoy it and I hope that it serves you well.

All the best,
Michael

Awesome stuff!

For Minimal Drone

I've bought a few things from Handmade Electronic Instruments and I'm always really impressed by the quality of the build and the quickness that they are shipped. He makes some great stuff and I just wish I could buy all of them!

Thanks much.

Thank you so much for the kind review! Love the track and your others as well.

Keith | Sept. 4, 2016

Very good. Works well.

For Passive Mono Mixer (8 Channel)

I use this in my ham radio station. All of my radios are connected to the inputs and the single output goes to a nice little audio amp and a good set of speakers. It gives all of my radios a good sound and they all come from the same audio point.

Response from Handmade Electronic Instruments | Sept. 6, 2016

Keith,

Thank you very much for the review. Glad to hear it is serving you well. Sounds like a great setup.

All the best,
Michael

Lightning fast shipping and a fantastic product

For 8-Bit Synthesizer

I'm a guitarist and have only the slightest glimpse into the cult mentality of the synth enthusiast. I just wanted the ability to make cool nintendo sounding robot noises without having to dive head first into the world of Synthesizers. This box helped me achieve that goal and still gives you a large amount of control over the different noises that come out of it. If there was any documentation included I didn't bother looking at it because I had figured out how all the knobs and buttons worked within 2 minutes. Once I had started down the rabbit hole I was instantly hooked.

This is a fantastic little box and the craftsmanship is impeccable. I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking to get some spacey robot sounds into their bag of tricks.

Response from Handmade Electronic Instruments | April 25, 2016

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Louisa | Sept. 21, 2015

Awesome!

For 8-Bit Synthesizer

Arrived super fast, sounds and looks amazing! Tiny box of musical joy! Even had a battery in it ready to go!

Response from Handmade Electronic Instruments | Oct. 19, 2015

Glad to hear. Batteries should always be included!

Thanks again.

John | Aug. 17, 2015

Amazing!

For 8-Bit Synthesizer

Just received my unit after a ridiculously quick shipping period (it even cleared customs in record time). Works great right out of the box. Looking forward to making lots of fun 8-bit sounds with this synth! Thanks again!

Response from Handmade Electronic Instruments | Aug. 17, 2015

Glad to hear it is in you hands and you are enjoying it. From the photo it looks like you have a pretty awesome setup, I'd love to hear it along side everything else if you ever post anything.

Thank you again,
Michael

Great Drone synthesizer

For Maximal Drone

Solid build and massive sounding Drone Synthesizer. With six voices i´m able to build rich walls of sound. I love it. Shipping took quite a while caused by duty issues and problems of the carrier.

Response from Handmade Electronic Instruments | March 28, 2015

Jan,
Glad you like it. Sorry to hear about it taking long to arrive. I'm looking into other international shipping methods but they all seem to be prohibitively expensive compared to USPS First Class International. Also, I'm afraid any service is still going to run the risk of getting held up in customs.

Thanks again,
Michael

Jan | Nov. 28, 2014

Great!

For Minimal Drone

Awesome kit!

For Minimal Drone

I'm using this drone synth as part of my set up for a doom band I'm in - I'm running it through a gnarly pedal and it's sounding amazing and adding interesting textures to our sound.

Response from Handmade Electronic Instruments | June 16, 2014

Laura,
Glad to know you are enjoying it. Any links up for me to check out your band?

Thanks again,
Michael

Supurb!

For Minimal Drone

Exactly the sounds I was looking for, sleek and tough build quality! Running it through my audio interface straight in Reason's sequencer to use in my tracks.

Get one!

This is great! Time spent and subtle manipulation of the knobs reveals a plethora of tonal possibilities. Starting to put the synth through various effects pedals for more fun and games. Delivery was super quick and packaging was awesome. Cheers.Greg,New Zealand.
