Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

East Beast combines a monophonic subtractive synth voice with a semi-modular layout that can operate immediately or be rerouted through its 18 Eurorack-compatible patch points. Its nine patchable sections cover the oscillator, multimode filter, envelope, VCA, LFO, multi-mod tool, sequencer, MIDI-to-CV conversion, and button keyboard. MIDI, CV, and the onboard keyboard all provide control, while the sequencer, arpeggiator, and tap-tempo clock support hands-on pattern work. Remove it from the enclosure to use it as a 40HP Eurorack module.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Building monophonic synth patterns with the onboard sequencer, arpeggiator, and tap-tempo clock.
  • Routing East Beast sections internally or connecting its 18 patch points with other gear.
  • A Eurorack system needing a removable 40HP module with a 25 mm depth.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Parts requiring polyphonic operation, because East Beast is a monophonic synthesizer.
