THERAPSID
SID under full control
Named after a vicious dinosaur, its sound is no less aggressive.
TherapSid has evolved to create roaring noises that will cut through your mix like razor-sharp claws through a mammoth steak.

So why do you need another synth, since they already take 90% of the space in your room and your girlfriend keeps complaining about it?

Well, what sets TherapSid apart from other SID based synths is its focus on control. Instead of getting confused by lcds and damaging your eyesight trying to read tiny sub menu fonts, this instrument features no less than 35 knobs and 31 buttons to give you full power over your sound.

However, TherapSid also has it’s own iPad app allowing touchscreen control.

As with all our boutique instruments, TherapSid is lovingly handcrafted in the south of France and features a backlit front panel, walnut side-panels and comes with 100 presets to get you started. You can assign LFOs to knobs with one push of a button or sequence “snapshots” of knob positions using the flexible 16 step sequencer, enough to keep you busy until the next ice age.

TherapSid is available either with pre-installed and tested 6581 or without SID (if you already have your own).

We have a very limited stock of 6581 SIDS so don’t wait until they go extinct and order yours right now!



TherapSid is compatible with all variations of the SID chip including 6581, 8550 (6582) & Swinsid and it is simple to install your own.

The unit is configured to provide the correct voltages and the necessary filter capacitors for both generations are included.

I'm really tempted to get this .

I was checking it out yesterday and I'm seriously considering getting one myself. It's the first SID synth I've seen that doesn't look like a calculator! :mrgreen:

To clarify without the chip this synth will not run.If you order the model without the chip you'd better have one. The 6581 / 8580 chips are the chips running the sound for this synth kit. Both chips use digital oscillators, but an analog filter.

I've lusted for a sidstation forever, when I saw the price point today I jumped on it. I'm glad I saw this early on elektronauts. This will probably sell out by the end of the week.

You still use your Sidstation?

There is a new batch of 15 with the 6581 chip. Mine is still on queue and I should get it in less than 15 days.
