Nifty BUNDLE

  • Sale
  • Regular price $269.99
  • 4 available


The NiftyBUNDLE comes with Cre8audio's rugged metal and wood 84 HP NiftyCASE which comes complete with ample power, MIDI to CV, and more....

THE CASE:

At 84hp wide it isn’t super tiny or super huge, in fact, it’s just right for all of the cardboard boxes we bought to ship it to you in. Aside from the 84hp width NiftyCASE features ample +12v -12v and +5v power for your modules. It will also take Din MIDI from any DIN MIDI device and USB MIDI from your computer and turn it into eurorack compatible CV, gate, mod, and clock.

MIDI to CV, gate, clock, and mod

NiftyCASE I/O

It's all built into the case. Make your instrument and don't waste precious hp (space for modules) on power and MIDI tools. Instead of more boring tech info or marketing speak we’ll continue with ample filler here for a few seconds. Nullam porta ipsum augue, ac dapibus est lobortis id. Aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Morbi non enim at nibh consequat commodo. Okay, that was nice. All we really should have said was that you can plug NiftyCASE into your computer via USB or 5pin MIDI DIN device and send it MIDI. It will convert it into CV, gate, mod, and clock. Sequence with your DAW, jam with your controllers, or do something wacky, NiftyCASE has got you covered.

 

Built-in power saves space for more of your modules, and keeps things good and easy.

As is, you can plug up to 10 modules into NiftyCASE's 10 gang flying bus that provides a peak 1500mA of +12v, 500mA -12v, and 500mA +5v, covering all industry standard power requirements.

The NiftyBUNDLE includes 2 modules cables and more!

 

THE MODULES:

Chipz = 2voicez, filterz & extra bitz 

Old people will remember the sound of their Commodore, Atari, and NES systems. We started with the idea that Chipz would be a 3 oscillator synth that takes you to an alternate universe in which your old console isn't for playing video games but is a module in your eurorack compatible system. As we were developing the ultimate chiptune module, our manufacturer’s sourcing department convinced us to do otherwise. So instead of actually making the chiptune module, we just kept the name Chipz and made something all together different with 3 oscillators, well not really.

 

Create Audio -0001.jpgWe used to be more like post-apocalyptic raiders rummaging through the remains of wrecked civilization to find choice nuggets of synthy goodness to harvest from old video game consoles and computers. Later we got smart and emulated the heck out of ‘em. Chipz is just that, 2 crazy oscillators, LFOs, and a mondo-bag full of love all in one tiny module.

Cellz = Feed. Cycle. Fondle. Fun 

 "Cellz is a dual unipolar control voltage generator and that each of the 16 touch sensitive pads can be “fed” two 12bit values (semi-tone quantized or free scale), ranging from 0V to 10V." But really it's just simply a funky module you can use as a controller or a wacky sequencer.

* The NiftyCASE power supply is designed only to power modules that are being used in the NiftyCASE. Modifying the case or using it otherwise to power external cases & external modules is not advised.  Additionally, we’ve seen that many modules reported power consumption are not precise. We recommend when planning what modules to use in your case, to allot at least an additional 25% power for modules that require additional power for startup and/or for variances from their reported specifications.
