What do we think about an Etches Kit? No soldering required. You only need a screwdriver and 20 minutes.

Thank you so much to everyone that ordered ETCHES over the last few months. We have a few Blems and reserve stock still available (inquire directly) but that’s it for now 🙏 The next small batch will be available exclusively through select distributors later this year.

Introducing LAPS Umbra Edition 🌘

LAPS Umbra Edition is the original LAPS pedal in a new disguise. It’s the same functionality as the OG with updated hardware. Unlike the original, Umbra does not have true bypass. It also has a different enclosure design and panel components.

With Etches, you can just sit down and play. It’s a simple machine with a huge sound. You can layer parts, add rich built-in effects and arrange splices to design vast soundscapes. First batch is on schedule to ship next week!

What do you do with your Etches once it arrives?
We created a quick tutorial series covering all of Etches’s essential functions. See the full playlist on our YouTube channel

The first video in the Etches tutorial series. Covers power, output, and the fundamentals of how the instrument responds to touch.
Etches runs on a standard 9V center-negative supply and outputs stereo over a 1/8” TRS jack — break it out with a Y-adapter or insert cable for two discrete channels. The note array along the bottom of the instrument doesn’t produce sound on its own; the SWELL pad is the volume control, and you’ll have a finger on it whenever you’re playing.
The articulation pads are touch-resistive, responding to surface area of contact rather than mechanical pressure. Rocking a finger across a pad changes the response as more or less of the fingertip rolls onto the surface.
The SENS k**b calibrates pad sensitivity to your environment. Set too low, pads will trigger false notes and double-hits. Set too high, light touches won’t register. The sweet spot drifts with humidity, skin condition, and the surface Etches is resting on — most situations land between 1 and 2 o’clock.
Covered in this video:
• Power and stereo output
• How the touch-resistive pads respond
• SWELL as volume control
• Calibrating SENS
Next: the remaining articulation pads — STAC, DRIVE, and INVERSE.
