Boredbrain INTRFX is a box to bridge pedals/stompboxes with synths and Eurorack. INTRFX is an alternative to Eurorack based interfaces like ALM006 / S.B.G.

Want to connect outboard gear to your eurorack synthesizer without taking up valuable HP in your case? The INTRFX allows eurorack-level signals to be processed with pedals and/or outboard effects, and also allows line-level instruments to be processed with eurorack modules. Each of its three channels has an Interchange Switch to swap this mode, as well as an FX Blend parameter which can be controlled via CV. Because of its compact physical design, the INTRFX can be placed almost anywhere and connected to eurorack systems with 3.5mm patch cables rather than bulkier 1/4-in cables.

Feedback effects can be achieved by switching into the “wrong” mode, sending the FX return back into the FX send, while still allowing for dry signal blend and modulation. Channels can also be patched into one another and toggled between modes for experimental routing. Conveniently, each channel can operate as a reversed linear VCA for both audio and DC signals when no effects are used. Whether you’d like to patch eurorack through some classic pedals or run a drum machine through your gnarliest modules, INTRFX makes these connections easy and flexible.

The INTRFX facilitates effects processing between eurorack, guitar pedals and electronic instruments.

Now Boredbrain launched a limited version. To celebrate the sale of over 2000 units of Patchulator 8000 to date, Boredbrain introduced Patchulator NEXUS: a limited edition alternative with refreshed graphics, solar orange patch cables, and glowing orange core to illuminate your patch.

In the world of modular synthesizers, the Patchulator is the brainstem between your modules and outboard gear, since it uses both standard and mini phono plugs. So if your brain tissue needs some electro-stimulation, simply inject control voltages and audio signals directly from your modular into effects units and chains. Better yet, use two Patchulator and seriously expand your cranial capacity! Whatever it is that you can brainstorm – guitar pedals and studio effects, synths and samplers, groove boxes and drum machines, modular and modulation signals, mixers and recording interfaces – the Patchulator allows it all to interconnect.

Are your cables giving you a brain tumor? In the world of electronic music, the Patchulator 8000 desktop patchbay becomes a powerful nerve center for your instruments, allowing you to share and swap effects all around your setup, without needing to solve a brainteaser. Just connect your keyboards, synthesizers, samplers, drum machines (or any sound source) to a few channels, then fill the other channels with your effects’ ins and outs. Using the mini patch cables, you can then route any of the effects into and out of the signal path of any instrument, just like a real patch bay! Hmmm… what will you mastermind?

SPLIX – Inline Splitter Mixer 3.5mm

SPLIX helps when you need to mix control voltage signals for more interesting modulations or just copying an audio signal for parallel processing.

The passive splitter mixer comes in small lightweight form-factor. The thumb-wheel controls the crossfader balance of two inputs or the level ratio between two outputs. SPLIX also functions as a passive inline attenuator when using only one input and one output.
