What's the first thing you think of when you hear the word “synthesizer”? Close your eyes and think about it. Ok, enough you're drifting, possibly thinking about pineapples. Anyway, for a lot of people, the word synthesizer envokes visions of big filter cutoff knobs, envelope generators, and importantly, big fat-sounding voltage-controlled oscillators. These are the hallmarks of East Coast-style synthesis. East Beast is a fresh take on these old-school concepts with a few beastly twists thrown in here and there. Oh and by the way, we almost forgot to mention, if you are into the whole eurorack thing, you can pop East Beast out of its included enclosure and it transforms right into a 40HP eurorack module. Cre8audio should've called it Optimus Beast!
