Experimental Analog Synth

Frog is a bit weird, but it’s a lot of fun.

It’s a semimodular analog electronic instrument in a 26hp eurorack module.

Two intermingled oscillators, a sample and hold and a quirky filter combine to create an enjoyable and very playable instrument with a distinctive personality and sound all of its own.

Small gestures lead to vastly new realms, from rhythmic pattering to depressed whales. Also fun to process external signals or repatch for interesting different responses.
