Bristol-based Future Sound Systems has announced the arrival of its latest device, a single VCO, barebones synth kit that goes by the name of Brunswick.
Alongside the single oscillator is a multimode filter, a basic LFO and what FSS is describing as a dirty VCA, all wrapped up in a DIY kit that also features a 24-point patchbay.
Originally commissioned by Bristol Experimental Expanded Film: BEEF, the Brunswick is going to be made available to buy exclusively from Thonk for £99 per kit, from 19 October.
If you’re not up to the task of building the Brunswick yourself then, then you can place a pre-order with Future Sound Systems for a pre-built version, but there is very limited stock.
