## Description

**Note:** This is a DIY kit. Assembled modules are available through [retailers](https://zlosynth.com/retailers/).
# Kaseta

This multi-purpose module is inspired by reel-to-reel tape machines. It simulates magnetic hysteresis to provide warm saturation, its four independent delay lines can be used to sculpt rhythms or feedback loops, and it offers wow and flutter control. The module also goes beyond typical tape machine features, with free-moving delays, trigger sequencing, and an internal oscillator. 

Note that this is a eurorack module, not a complete synthesizer. It cannot be used without a case and a power supply.

# Features
While the module works perfectly well as a regular delay, its flexible interface can also be wired up to provide a variety of effects, sounds or CV sources.

* Delay with 4 reading heads
* Up to 5 minutes of audio recording
* Tape saturation simulation
* Wow and flutter effects
* Tone control
* Voltage-controlled oscillator
* Trigger sequencer
* Stereo output
* LEDs visualizing dialed parameters
* Programmed in Rust
* Based around [Electro-Smith's Daisy Patch SM](https://www.electro-smith.com/daisy/patch-sm) platform
* Aluminium panel with high-quality anodized finish
* CNC engraved lettering
* 20 HP, skiff friendly

# DIY Kit
This kit contains a printed circuit board (PCB) with all the surface mount parts (SMD) parts already pre-soldered. The through-hole components are left to be assembled by you. If you wonder about the complexity, check out the [Build Manual](https://zlosynth.com/kaseta-build-manual.pdf). Apart from all the needed parts, this kit also contains power cable and mounting screws.
