Mutable Instruments Kinks Clone | Sylph Modular Kinks

4HP Eurorack Utility Processor inspired by Mutable Instruments Kinks

Kinks is a compact Mutable Instruments Kinks clone for Eurorack systems. It combines signal rectification, logic processing, sample and hold, and noise generation in a highly space-efficient 4HP format.

The module is divided into three utility sections that can be used independently or combined within larger patches. The SIGN section processes positive and negative portions of incoming signals, making it useful for wave shaping, rectification and CV manipulation. The LOGIC section provides analog logic functions for combining gates, triggers and control voltages, while the SAMPLE & HOLD section includes an integrated noise source for generating random voltages and modulation.

Despite its small size, Kinks performs a wide range of patching tasks that would otherwise require multiple dedicated utility modules. Every module is assembled and tested individually by Sylph Modular using high-quality components and is fully compatible with the original Mutable Instruments design.
