1.25.23 NLC Kits Restock

We're restocking a bunch of our favorite DIY kits from Nonlinearcircuits. Here's the first batch!

NLC1072 The Hypster
Available with black or white Magpie panel.
The Hypster can produce signal waveforms varying from simple and periodic to complex and extremely dense, both in the low frequency control range as well as up into audio frequencies. With an eight-signal output it can simultaneously control a large number of synthesizer parameters or generate multiple audio waveforms for individual processing.

NLC1071 Let's Splosh
Available with black or white Magpie panel, or white NLC panel.
Let's Splosh makes a gloopy mess of the incoming signals and smears it all over your patch. Get wild with your CV and audio signals!

NLC1055 Squid Axon
Available with black or white Magpie panel, or white NLC panel.
Squid Axon is a four stage analog shift register with two feedback paths, one nonlinear and one linear. If you turn the feedback paths down to zero, you get a regular ASR. Turn up the feedback to get more complex and staggered patterns from the four CV outputs. It happily runs at audio rates too.

NLC1031 Envelope Follower
Available with black or white Magpie panel, or white NLC panel.
Envelope Follower was developed for use in the cellF synthesizer, it is based on the design in the Buchla Easel. Obviously it has a few changes; a gain pot rather than a hi/lo switch and a gate output. It is a wonderfully sensitive and expressive EF, and works nicely with microphones and guitars.

NLC1010 baDum TISSS
Available with black or white Magpie panel, or white NLC panel.
The core sound of the circuit comes from the ring mod. Usually it will process the noise source and the VCO, but feel free to plug in the output from another VCO and get some nice sounds. You can use CV to modulate the VCO frequency (NOT 1/oct) and control the decay time.

NLC1085 SPASM
Available with black or white Magpie panel, or white NLC panel.
An easy build which gives you a very flexible chaotic circuit! The CV inject jack allows you to control the chaos with gates and CV, some signals will cause it to pause or stall, others will make it glitch & freak out. CV frequency controls the LED which, in turn, controls the resistance in the LDRs.
