Overview
The Cre8audio Boom Chick is a pure analog drum machine that bridges the gap between classic synthesis warmth and modern generative sequencing. Developed in collaboration with Pittsburgh Modular, it features five handcrafted analog voices—Kick, Snare, Hats, and two variable "Drum" channels—that offer a wide palette of raw, punchy tones without the need for menu diving. The "knob-per-function" interface ensures immediate control over every parameter, allowing users to sculpt everything from deep, distorted kicks to metallic percussion in real time, making it an inspiring tool for both live performance and studio sound design.
Beyond its sonic capabilities, the Boom Chick is housed in a compact desktop chassis that can be removed for installation into a standard 40HP Eurorack case. Its powerful internal sequencer goes far beyond basic step entry, offering generative tools like Euclidean rhythms, probability, and step rolls to create evolving, complex patterns. With comprehensive connectivity including individual voice outputs, MIDI I/O, and analog clock integration, it serves as a flexible rhythmic hub that integrates seamlessly with modular systems, DAWs, and other hardware gear.
