Great bassline synth!
BitiliBlack 11.05.2023
Highly recommended for the price!

Great oscillator and filter combo (with envelope). Has a very innovative built-in sequencer with self-generate option, arpeggiator and transpose on the fly, for jams and inspiration. Hook it up to a controller or other sequencer to get its full potential. Maybe basic modulation for advanced users, but more than sufficient for beginners. Again, patch it to other hardware for full potential.

All in all, a great little work horse machine for the price that can be useful in any synth setup, especially for basslines! Great option if you are looking for something different from the classic 303 sound, to even expand on it.

/ things to consider /
- not the best first synth, get a MicroFreak, etc.
- not the best for leads
- LFO is a little bit gimmicky, but useful
- Artwork is not for everyone, I personally love it!

Great little gear for the price.
Alexhomm 12.02.2024
Really good synth. It is really worth the price. May need a delay and reverb pedal. But in general, lots of sound design. perfect for my set up.

Un sustractivo muy divertido
Reset Reboot 20.12.2023
La verdad es que tiene un sonido bastante bueno, algo ruidoso en algunos puntos, pero, por el precio que tiene, es poco problemático. Muy fácil de jugar, experimentar y obtener sonidos con él. El tema del MIDI está muy bien resuelto para mi gusto. Quizás el patchbay sea un poco limitado pero cumple su función, especialmente si es tu primer sínte hardware.

Muy contento. Creo que junto con el West Pest tienes una paleta de sonidos bastante amplia. También, como primer módulo en tu eurorack es una buena opción.

A good start to a modular or a great complement to an existing one
Ben Z. 03.11.2024
This along with its sibling West Pest are very powerful desktop synths that go well in any modular setup. They have many modules/functions in one compact unit. The East Beast is a subtractive synth with a good sounding VCO, a very nice filter along with the usual VCA/LFO/Envelop setup. The only downside to this is the envelope which are quite bad. The are either very short and click or longer and sloppy. It is impossible to get a good snappy envelope out of it and I usually use the envelope from it's built in Multi Function or even an external envelope. Apart from that it does a lot for very cheap compared to how well made it is. The best feature of it, in my opinion, is it's filter which is very nice.
