Hey all!
m4vrick and myself have exciting news: at Superbooth2024 we launched our new cooperative 3rd party brand, BF Synths!
We already joined forces for releasing the 555VCO, but we are now launching four modules in total, and more are in the works
For these releases we've been working hard to support as much local business as possible. PCB's are from Germany, frontplates are homemade and assembled by M4vrick in France. So: real EU-made products.
Also, some info on the 'fiscal construction': we are running this as a 'non-profit', which means we do not intend for this to be a highly profitable, 'double the gross income every year', startup type thing. We are still doing it for our love building, music making and the community! This also means that we will only have to pay a 'moderate' amount of taxes, however, these added taxes will still make it necessary to us to raise the price. But we do our best to keep it as affordable as possible!
You can find us on Tindie: www.tindie.com/stores/bfsynths/
For now we have the 555VCO live on our Tindie page. At Superbooth, it was our pleasure to (re-)release three other modules as well: Le Module, 2SLOTH and 5STEPS. More info and store page for this will follow very shortly, so keep an eye out on the Tindie page and this subforum!
Last but not least..
What do you think would be the best explanation for the 'BF' abbreviation? We got some nice suggestions at Superbooth:
- Best Friend Synths
- Boat Face Synths
- Big Fucking Synths
If you got some more suggestions.... Let us know in the comments
Cheers
Kurt & M4vrick
