Herbs and Stones is a synthesizer and effects company based in
Vittorio Veneto, a small town situated between the mountains of northern
Italy. Founded by Gianluca Herbertson in 2019 we specialize in esoteric electronics and noise paraphernalia.
Legs is an analog kick and percussion synthesizer module in eurorack format.It is based around a triangle core voltage controlled oscillator and a two levels voltage controlled saturation stage.Each parameter has its own dedicated CV input, when a control signal is patched into any of the inputs its corresponding knob will act as a CV attenuator.Two independent gate/trigger input with level control can be used to create accents, pattern changes and generally work on track dynamic.Features:• Triangle core VCO• Two-stage voltage controlled saturation• Two separate gate/trigger inputs• CV control over every parameterDIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. All SMD parts are pre-soldered, only trough-hole parts to solder.

Liquid Foam is a modular monophonic analog groovebox that revolves around a dual sequencer designed to encourage complex pattern exploration. At the core there’s an analog VCO with two stages of waveshaping, a decay-only EG that can be inverted any step and a 2-pole resonant VCF.Features:• Two sequencers• Newly designed filter and wave mixer• Separate trig and envelope output• Newly added bandpass filter outputDIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. All SMD parts are pre-soldered, only trough-hole parts to solder.

Tongues is a passive Eurorack bidirectional format converter that permits to send and receive signals between banana jack synthesizers and Eurorack modules.Features:• Negative voltage protection switch on every channel• BidirectionalDIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-1.

This is the DIY version of this unit.Pathways is a modular matrix mixer designed for feedback manipulation, creative routing, weird synthesis… and many other things.Based around sixteen analog VCAs it can be the central hub of many different setups and a bridge between desktop gear and eurorack systems.Features:• 4x 1/4″ inputs with gain / drive control, 4x 1/4″ outputs• Each of the 16 matrix intersections can be controlled manually or via CV, a dedicated LED gives visual feedback of the channel volume• An envelope follower is normalled to input four, the signal then gets fed through a clock divider with three cascaded outputs. Willingly, an external signal can be inserted into the divider• Two voltage controlled LFOs can modulate any parameter and create dynamic feedbacks, asymmetrical panning, tempo-related fx send/returns• If patched into itself, each channel can self oscillate so it can be used as a polyphonic cv-controllable drone synthesizer• full eurorack compatibility, each parameter has its own 1/8″ input jack
This is the DIY version of this unit.Solid Felt is a stereo multimode analog filter in desktop format.Its name comes from the etymology of the words “stereo” and “filter”.From subtle timbral variation to an all-encompassing sonic treatment, Solid Felt can be used in multiple ways to embellish or vandalize your sound bouquet:As two independent mono filtersto give a stereo treatment to a mono signalto filter a stereo signal at the same cutoff frequency on the L and R channelsAs a mono 24dB/oct filter (placing the two filters in series)To synthesize sounds, via external feedback patchingTo extrapolate a CV signal from your audio input and use it to control any of its parameter or external gearAs a stereo overdrive effectTo bring line level signals to Eurorack levelFeatures:• 2x Analog multimode analog filters• 2x 1/4″ jack high impedance inputs• 2x 1/4″ jack low impedance outputs• 8x 1/8″ jack eurorack compatible CV inputs• 8x 1/8″ jack eurorack compatible CV outputs• Input gain control to amplify incoming signals up to fuzzy territory• mode control to select between lowpass, bandpass and highpass filter response (CV controllable)• an envelope follower (normalled to input A) which is fed into a three stage clock divider• a voltage controlled LFO with waveform blend control and two outputs 180° out of phase• a voltage controlled LFO with rising and falling sawtooth outputs
