Liminal Sound Devices BURG Semimodular Synthesizer + FX Processor

Burg is a great way to start with modular synthesis and plugging in patch cables. It provides you with all the necessary tools to start your modular journey now. It is a standalone synth voice, complex multi-FX processor, controller for external gear, or all at once — the perfect companion to any setup, whether you already have modular gear or want to connect instruments and other equipment. It works for many different musical approaches and creative processes, bridging the analog modular world and external gear, and its unique combination of circuits lets you customize your desired sound in all-analogue ways.

18 individual and characterful modules allow you to explore beautiful and weird interactions. You can easily create dynamic melodies, harmonic drones, strange noises and outer-space sound effects. Plug in an instrument, a microphone, your favourite tunes or the internal sounds, and it is easy to modulate any signal with a crispy WASP-style filter, a wavefolder, some heavy distortion and a double delay to glitch your mind away. With 55 patching points in total, the possible combinations are almost endless. The intuitive touchpad interface gives easy control over multiple CV and gate signals at once and is the main modulation source of the Burg system.

Two light-dependent controllers guarantee unique behaviour and can be modified easily to suit your needs or for experiments. Other modules can also be modified by exchanging components on the back plate, so customizing the frequency range of the oscillators and LFOs, or shaping your own clipping distortion with different types of diodes, is possible.

There are two power bus connectors on the backplate, so Burg can also be used as a power supply for other Eurorack modules. The internal power supply can be powered via barrel jack from 9V to 18V (centre positive) and can power small modular racks using a flying bus cable.
