A Thousand New Sounds at your fingertips.

What we do

The Power of Keatten Kits. Put to work.

We are really excited here at Keatten Kits – we want to share with you something amazing …

Read on if you have electronic construction skills and would like to find Eurorack compatible synth and sound modules, or are looking for the best cheap polyphonic synth, monophonic or paraphonic kit modules ...  

The devices we are about to introduce to you are something no one else in the sound creation world has yet to see or perceive, while providing the electronic music hobbyist and constructor world with state-of-the-art music and sound synthesis Master Constructor Kits.  

These are going to revolutionize the hobbyist sound sensation and creation arena – performance sound manipulation products that open new sound dimensions unobtainable elsewhere – sounds that you would have never thought of.

What they represent is as important as what they are … sound tools that touch the very heart of the music sound creator and performer.

Tony and Dave are thrilled to announce
VoiceMorph, powered by the
Keatten Raptor Engine 

All of the carefully crafted virtual analogue modules can be tailored to create an infinite variety of panel or enclosure designs of your choice:

  • Want to use your own enclosure and MIDI controller?
    You Name It.
  • Want a "Mini-Moog" on steroids?
    Easy.
  • Want a Legacy Studio Rack System?
    You Got It.
  • Perhaps you prefer to use software control?
    No Problem.

    Use our simple wire linking to select one of the built-in pre-sets, or use our own proprietary, (open source), simple-to-use patch language with your Raspberry Pi or Arduino. In fact, our Raptor has been engineered to be compatible with Raspberry Pi Top Hat (4.5 by 4.25 inches).

Raptor Sound Engine  
- Fingertip Music and Sound Creation

Keatten Labs Raptor sound engine

You can mount and build our Raptor in any enclosure of your choice - Bespoke, Eurorack, a 500 Series design, or even your own  Modular System Moog Clone.

That’s it above laying on top of Tony's hand.

Announcing ... VoiceMorph

Keatten Labs VoiceMorph paraphonic synth

As you can see, no need for another keyboard purchase either (or any other MIDI control device), as Keatten VoiceMorph comes complete with full MIDI compatibility.

All our products are designed for Eurorack dimensions

VoiceMorph has five exciting sets of functionality:

  • The VoiceMorph Raptor Sound Engine
  • Fully expandable
  • (Front panel is Eurorack compatible and measures 5.06 by 11.2 inches)  
  • The VoiceMorph Raptor plus front panel PCB, plus front panel (as above)
  • All ready to go, just plug and play!
  • Designed with quality components
  • Get fat stable synth sounds controlled from a midi controller of your choice

Here is what you get:

  • Raspberry Pi Hat compatible
  • Precision zero-drift exponential converters covering a 15 octave range without the need for high-end compensation. Will NEVER need re-calibration
  • Continuous VCO wave shape with morph, range, and pulse width
  • Low frequency oscillator with continuous morph and speed to independently control the VCO's and VCF's
  • Comprehensive sound mixer for all sound sources
  • Tremolo Lift for the contour generators

ALL this for the same price as a far east "big name rival". Theirs feature only one VCO, does not include any contour generators to control their VCO and VCF. Let alone include Sample/Hold, Waveshape Morph, Octave Morph, Individual Pulse Width, Glide, Noise, Full Function MIDI, Tremolo, Ring Modulator, and 24 dB/Octave High Pass/Low Pass Filter.

Oh yes, and our exponential 15 octave oscillators and filters are precise and 100% drift-free, so NO NEED for under-the-hood clunky pre-sets and range compensation pots needing regular tweaking before, or worse, during your performance!

From the second you turn it on, our VoiceMorph true polyphonic music synthesizer is locked solid, ready to rock, and performance-ready.

Then why hasn’t anyone thought of a creating a single chip on a four-inch square circuit board that does just that?

We Did. And it Works.

Wanna Own One?

So What DO You Get with our
Synthesizer On A Chip?

  • Includes both fully featured standard and high-speed MIDI interfaces
  • Raspberry Pi Hat compatible
  • Expander board for control panel
  • QUAD professional-quality analogue inputs and outputs
  • Ultra-stable linear and exponential Glide control
  • TRIPLE Noise Source - White, Pink and Red
  • Sample and Hold - Standard, Ramped, and Chromatic
  • Versatile Envelope/Contour Follower
  • Precision zero-drift exponential converters covering a 15 octave range without the need for high-end compensation. Will NEVER need re-calibration
  • FIVE precision zero-drift 15 octave range (0.1 to 20KHz) Voltage Controlled Oscillators. Each oscillator features Audio or Low frequency settings with a variety of wave shapes and juicy harmonic options: Sine, Triangle, Shark-tooth, Sawtooth, Pulse, Squeeze, Morph and Mix
  • TWO triggered Contour Generators with Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release and Repeat (ADSRR). The Repeat function puts the ADSRR into oscillation mode
  • TWO fat zero-drift Voltage Controlled Filters which can be set to Low Pass, High Pass, Bandpass or Notch with each including Resonance mode and Oscillation
  • They both feature an amazing 12/24/26/48 dB per octave settings. As with the oscillators, these filters are full range and never need calibration
  • FOUR Voltage Controlled Amplifiers - these are multi-input and each have dual functionality as either a VCA or Ring Modulator
  • SIX Hex Mixer Banks - giving you the patching flexibility of a 36 bank mixer desk.
