Beaks

A through-hole DIY version of the Mutable Instruments Peaks, in 8 HP: two channels that each play an envelope, an LFO, a tap LFO or a drum, fired by two trigger inputs or their buttons. It runs Peaks' firmware on a generic STM32 board, its outputs made by dual PWM instead of a DAC. The panel prints what each knob does in every function.

Key features

• Two channels, each with a trigger input, a trigger button and an output
• Four functions: ENV, LFO, TAP and DRUM, and four hidden ones
• SPLIT: the four knobs shared by both channels, or two knobs each
• A table over each knob giving its role per function
• Sold as a DIY kit, the STM32 board not included
