Erica Synths x Richie Hawtin Bullfrog sound demo

[@hudu]

It feels very right for a Hawtin co-designed synth to have a big ol' 909 style keyboard button on there.

[@OMA_Music_Official]

Nothing short of impressive, great work, I think this platform is easy and fun to play with for newbies looking to learn the craft of patching and tweaking live.

[@LukeLendrum]

2020 me that was just starting out would definitely have bought this. Great assessment.

It’s what the sine shark waveform is for innit?

[@NuclearFlan]

this looks like a fun synth. love that 5 step sequencer cartridge!

[@RabbitintheMoon]

Love the cartridge concept... bravo

[@DrJ3RK8]

VERY NICE!!! That is an excellent starting point for pretty much anyone. Add a drum machine, and you're off! Mentioned this before elsewhere, but a big fan of Erica and Hawtin. Great pairing!

[@Peter-qm8ze]

Simple and effective. Sincerely, for the project . Back to the root, warm and hearty sound

[@FloChai]

I’m completely in love with your manual. ❤it is so easy to digest for a visual learner like me.

[@spectralknights2]

Where do u get the manual?

[@FloChai]

@@spectralknights2 it’s on their website In PDF! :)

[@analogrealms]

Really cool out of the box stuff! Great work guys, looking forward to see what people create with it

[@pablocronin4229]

I love the knobs

[@Sonicsmith]

I love the cartridge design!

[@spectralknights2]

I'll take this over 0-Coast

[@VacancyOfDisco]

between this and blipblox kids these days are going to be cranking out all sorts of weird electronic music in the coming years! great little synth (for grownups too!)

[@JumboDubby]

I gave my kids their own Blipbloxes and it is so cool to wake up some mornings hearing some absolute JAMS! 🎉

[@Turbo_TechnoLogic]

Haha that one button looks hillarious. Promising unit, I wonder what those extension cards can be

[@stereossauro]

the scratch with the drill sample is reason enough for me to buy this

[@kelvin_darwin]

This is pretty wild! Cool stuff!

[@suntzu6122]

Wow what a beautiful piece of kit.

[@hellf.o]

Wow thanks again guys for your outstanding work!

[@bob-rogers]

That's pretty cool. At first I was thinking, "Oh, another desktop synth. I don't need that." But the recorder module is really cool--especially since it can be replaced with other modules.

[@donaldpriola1807]

Pretty cool. The voice cards are interesting, but a little awkward to handle, at least if controls are directly on them. But sweet design overall.

[@hfos]

Darn it Erica Synths! Just when I thought 'now I won't ever need anything else' you confront me with this...

[@Brendalo1]

future cartridges a must please 🙏 & one called jefé frogger!! aka boss frog 🐸 😎 😮

[@regplasma7906]

Do all of these slot cards shown come with the Bullfrog ?

[@EricaSynths]

Yes!

[@silkyglimpses7686]

I was going to ask that very question Totally love the cassette card Very sound concrete Also the krell style patches can metallic hollow ring mod sounds come out of it or maybe new cards on the way 😁👍🪐 Dunno about about kids this sound machine sounds great for all ages 😁👌🪐 It also looks fantastic like science lab but of equipment Be nice if it was banana 🍌 Thanks for making the little joy machine

[@bodoelsel]

I would like to know which other cards will be available from the start and how much they will cost.

[@stephenmandelbaum2027]

It list the confirmed ones on the website.

[@Medniex]

That DIY cart patching looks interesting

[@anthonyc8248]

Wow! One of my first raves Plastikman was performing. Cant wait to get this with my Lxr-02!

[@maxvoitech]

rewatched Hawtin''s movie "Making contact" few weeks ago,, havent seen for years & nnow this drops,, suchh a coincidence :)

[@christoroppolo8742]

How many additional modules are there to plug in and how much for full package? 👽✌️

[@christoroppolo8742]

I just found out the three modules come with it! I certainly hope that’s true! This looks like a great companion to Perkons ! ✌️👽

[@moonboi317]

DOpe stuff you guys are doing I just got the black system 3 can't wait.

[@jovantrendmaker4722]

Very interesting i like sampler on this so much great maschine from maestro himeslf grande Richie H.

[@Peter-qm8ze]

I wish I can test the device. Lg Peter Art Brut.

[@plantpoweredmuscle]

Do you have to blow in the cartridges?

[@stolencoats63]

Classic!

[@JonDoeOne]

Can you route external audio from the audio in to the sampler card?

[@volpir4672]

does it come with the push the speaker onto a woman expander?

[@dwellerinblack7816]

Woman expanded lmao wtf

[@nicolabelle1415]

The crave is a better educational tool for a more friendly price, at least this frog is a cute box !

[@giakventura854]

Hi, where can I find the tape cartridge to buy? And can I use Pico's from Erica Synths a well in bullfrog? I wish it so much. Thanks

[@LAZ-org]

:me thinking it's the size of a volca. = tiny hands enter the frame.

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

Seriously I can't stop giggling at the size of this thing. It's bordering on comical!🤣

[@SHABBA-OVERLOAD]

don't need, need.

I ordered the bullfrog on August 12th, paid, but have no idea when it will be delivered on the website I can't seem to find contact information

Will those cards work with the Pico III!? I've been wanting things like that for mine

[@EricaSynths]

Unfortunately no as the Bullfrog is a completely new design.

[@martingrieco]

Lovely!

Perfect for the quirky sounds of Kraftwerk!

haahahah baby shark! ahhahahha..... toppp!!!!!! after syntrx2 now i have a new excuse to buy a new synth EDUCATIONAL...yes....techno education!!

[@voyageDnB1]

A giant SSL EQ ?

[@Centomila]

Why a synth for "youth" has knobs bigger than my steering wheel and most of my synths for grownup are just little nipples? 😛 (BTW is a really cool synth)

[@UserName________]

I want it in black. I went to black and I ain't coming back.

[@mcstabba]

Speaking of black, to be more realistic the black knobs should be bigger than the knobs of the other colors.

[@Emily_M81]

shut up and take my money. All of it.

[@Jin-Hu]

Cool, have to admit I thought yeah nice but but I bet I can’t afford it, looked at the price, actually affordable thanks Erica Synths

[@IntangibleMan]

Sounds good but typical hype video and just messing with octave shifts and LFOs for the most part. I still would like a DB-1 but Erica Synths are waaaay overpriced.

[@Stelsanne]

👍

[@mode_in_analytics]

fikissima

[@liantrosretrospectiva4134]

any "educational" synth should have at least 2 oscillators. With just one you loose some basic synthesis features and it´s too expensive to be considered "analog for all"... don´t make me name the real inexpensive analog stuff, we all know them

[@DruggedBunny]

500 EUR... "An educational tool... for people with too much money."

[@antoniocalimero1173]

That is a Apple product, not this 😊

[@jonasmaurstad1032]

Can it also work as a sound source for playing music? Like a fucking melody or something?

[@dwellerinblack7816]

Yeah, they demonstrated that in the video lol

[@BrendanSpengler]

I teach music to special needs kids at a private school in Memphis, TN and this is unfortunately way over our budget, let alone a public schools budget.

[@dr.getter7118]

A bunch of plastic recorders, whilst a lot cheaper, do not stimulate the mind. Or at least, not nearly as much as even a simple synthesizer can. Budgets are of course a touchy subject, both in private and public institutions. There ought to be less expensive synthesizer alternatives out there though, I'm sure.

[@WaveMage-gq9fg]

I wouldn't really recommend this for schools. Maybe try a Roland Gaia. That was the standard for sound schools for a long time and may still be.

[@EricaSynths]

Education institutions and initiatives with proven track record of relevant curriculums are welcome to contact us via Erica Synths Support page! www.ericasynths.lv/support/

[@skovbowden]

With all due respect, if I have to blindly tweak knobs for like 15 minutes and all i get is some otherworldly none danceable noise, this might not be for me. Erica has great tools but this is way too experimental ( unless experimental is what you need of course).

[@dr.getter7118]

Mhm.. how is a VCO -> VCF -> VCA architecture experimental, though? People have been making and using them for over 50 years. I mean, if you want something traditional just connect the elements of this synth in order, left to right, and voilà. If you want experimental, I'm sure the nice amount of patch points can help you with that.

[@TeddyBaas]

😒

[@celtislam]

Boring and i can bet its over priced LOL
