[@jc3drums916]

I like that the wavefolder has I/O. It's the most glaring omission from the 0-Coast.

[@PaulBoos]

So a companion to the East Beast (and my Microvolt). I'm glad to see this partnership; I hope it really allows more Pittsburgh Modular goodness to get into people's hands.

[@joeparker2725]

So the two synths will cost about 500 euros, practically the price of an 0-Coast. Very tempting!

[@suga4all]

Almost percussive territory there. Reminds me of the DFAM. Well done, will order one soon!

[@AtticusBleep]

Best sounding synth tone I’ve heard for a long time. Crazy crazy price.

[@danieldemayo6209]

This is sweet. Didn’t think much of the other one but to grab some west cost sound for $250 is a no brainer.

[@sidefish8362]

I agree, this is definitely the more interesting of the two. I wish it wasn't so ugly though.

[@sCealt]

trust!!

[@zonashi8645]

@sidefish I agree heavily lol. It’s definitely not as sexy as the 0 coast but I think you can get to the same destination it.

[@mickeybreezy]

Richard drove his convertible today.

[@DivKid]

this sounds great!

[@obsidiananvil9719]

Unbeatable features, sound, and value for $'s. Instant buy! ... (best demo, also)

[@el_dani]

great stuff, I hope Pittsburgh will do well with their synth business

[@gamma_noize]

This synth is soooo freakin cool! 🤩 Already ordered one two days ago. I'm so hyped for it. 😀 For one, everything made by Pittsburgh i tried so far had me convinced completely. I already love my BIG-O oscillators and the west pest is basically the BIG-O on steroids! ^^

[@RemixSample]

Oh I'm loving that bass sound!

[@Kkidzz]

Perfect DAF territory…. Ausgezeichnet und Geil!!

[@TheNimasan]

it really sounds incridible!

[@nsbd90now]

I'm so excited for this, which should start shipping really soon.

[@mrotaveria]

insane value for 250 bucks!

[@paulbisanti1535]

I'd initially thought the osc would be based on the Micovolt's, but the Voltage Lab? Sheee-it!

[@defjeff2907]

East Beast and West Pest include a midi dongle and patch cables!

[@aounms]

Yeh that's good 😉

[@Jason75913]

The sound and price are right, totally getting one.

[@mewantgoodmusic]

Some thick sounds!!

[@cecilkeebler4254]

The price points for both the East Beast and West Pest are ridiculous for the sonic quality you get here. They will sell a bleep ton of these things.

[@MarcoPolux]

superb!

[@mikaa.a.hyytinen9176]

Sounds great, truly has a personal sound. Groovy. Pittsburgh Modular And with that price tag it's a shame if this baby doesn't become one of the better known table top synths in near future. But I would've wanted to know how it manages the bleeps and bloops and squeals and lazergun and khskhskhskhskshkshbrrrrrrrrr and randomness that the West Coast style enthusiasts want to use a synth for, instead bass lines on even note length sequence. :)

[@RegebroRepairs]

1:23 OK, you just sold one. :-)

[@abelos1518]

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@erlendmagnussen8922]

Fab!

[@sCealt]

i thought it was great til i heard (and had to double check) the price, then i thought it was amazing :)))

[@robertescher3082]

Got my East Beastie... now I need the Pestie.... :)

[@prayingelephants]

Could I potentially use this to sequence a Strega or as a MIDI to CV converter?

[@aounms]

Yes 😉

[@stixvane]

I want to pach my Neutron through it

[@aounms]

Me too 😉

[@SuperEgido]

Hubiera estado bien dejar de hablar un poquito (solo un poco) para escuchar bien el sonido del sintetizador.

[@dinogoldie9716]

I bought a West Pest but had to return it because it did not work with any of my MIDI controllers. I bought a second West Pest from a different retailer, hoping that my previous problems were just a faulty unit but no. My second West Pest also does not work with any of my MIDI controllers. Major note-hanging (both pitch and gate) issues. Unplayable. Is anybody else encountering this problem re the WP and MIDI or is it just my enormous bad luck? It's a shame because I love the WP sound and the sequencer is a lot of fun but I just can't get it to work as a MIDI sound module. Anybody got any ideas/solutions?

[@KaosEngineering]

Duuuuuuuuuuuude ... wtfffffff

[@johnhorrobin8560]

Would have been nice to hear what he is saying above the din.

[@GizzyDillespee]

The Mike Tyson of synths. The equivalent to his voice would be the synth's appearance - not what you expected, but you could get used to it. Seems to hit pretty hard.

[@smalltown4855]

no headphone socket?

[@FUNKINETIK]

Top right of the patch bay .

[@superactivitylad]

clicky enough that you wouldnt even need a hihat... lol just a snare and kick.

[@danielmann5427]

Over two years and still wearing a face diaper.. Insanity

[@GoodAfternoonDave]

millions of dead people over two years and you're still saying "face diaper".. insanity

[@Lolgkvsatcz]

Very boring sound

[@roxyamused]

huh, I heard a wonderfully malleable and percussive sound. A lot for me to explore. To each their own and helps them be happy.

[@Jameslow2486]

Silly mask 😷 🤪

[@MiamiVisor]

I find them offensive, this BS needs to stop now.

[@prayingelephants]

Who cares lol y’all are so sensitive

[@GizzyDillespee]

When he went to take it off at the end, I thought I might faint. But he was actually scarier with the mask ON!

[@nothankyou]

@@MiamiVisor You find basic hygiene during an extended pandemic offensive? Praise be, clutch your pearls and find a safe space. Masks are here to stay, they've been used extensively in asia for decades - in parts of the world where people give a shit about each other and don't politise anything that involves common courtesy. I can only imagine how offenseive you find people washing their hands after going to the bathroom. Must give you the shakes.

[@aqueous5099]

@@prayingelephants Ikr, entitled snowflakes are lashing out because of a minor inconvenience that’s for the sake of public safety. Poor nations have widely adopted masks in their dense cities long before the pandemic.
