midiphy has updated the firmware for its zetaSID chiptune synth Eurorack module to add a new bassline synth engine.

In the video demo, above, two zetaSIDs linked via phybus create the stereo bassline, using the latest firmware.

Here’s what’s new in firmware v1.5:

• zetaSID bassline engine: 303-style 16-step sequencer, eight patterns per channel, per-step note / octave / gate / slide / accent /
• one freely assignable parameter, two LFOs and an additional envelope with curvature
• three new input sockets per module: SEQ STEP, SEQ RESET, SEQ PATTERN. Splice them through phybus and your modular drives the sequencer directly with clocks, sequence reset triggers and pattern select CVs
• pair two zetaSIDs over phybus for a true stereo bassline patch that stays step-locked
• non-bassline feature: individual instrument attenuation for drum engine
• non-bassline feature: 180° screen rotation support (mount your zetas upside-down, if you want :-))

Pricing and Availability:

The zetaSID is available now for 199.98 €.
