Rucci Electronics 8-Bit Power Synthesizer
The Rucci 8-Bit Power Synthesizer is lo-fi synthesizer inspired by retro video game sounds. It features a one-octave monophonic keyboard with a switch for selecting between six octave ranges. A drone switch overrides the keyboard and drones the last note played. The mode knob selects between one of seven modes. These include square wave, two octave switching, octave ramp up/down, vibrato, random octave, minor pentatonic arpeggios, and a drum loop mode with 26 loops built in selected by the keys and drone switch. A knob in the center controls the modulation speed for the different modes and includes a sync output for syncing external gear to the 8-Bit Power Synthesizer. A CV input is also present to select octaves with root note staying constant. Old school bleeps and bloops abound with this new school approach to lo-fi noise boxes.

The 8-Bit Power Synth has a built in keyboard as well as CV input. It can play back single notes or arpeggiated sequences the way retro video games did, and also has a drum loop mode. The Maximal Drone has six oscillators for creating incredibly thick drone sounds. The CV input on it sags the voltage to the circuit, changing the pitch as well as the sound of the synth.
