Small. Dirty. Deep. On sale until June 30th.
MeeBlips are not polite, and they’re not pristine. They’re deceptively tiny, simple synths that make big, grimy sounds.
The award-winning MeeBlip anode was already capable of producing ridiculous bass sounds. So with triode, we challenged ourselves to make things even more extreme.
triode's huge sound is driven by three oscillators and a unique twin-t analog lowpass filter. Switch on the pure square wave sub-oscillator and punish your favorite subwoofers.
Choose from traditional square / pwm / sawtooth waveforms, or select from 24 grungy single-cycle wavetables.
Now, everything is MIDI controllable - even filter resonance.
And it’s 100% more red.
Hear what triode can do
triode user Olivier Ozoux recorded this live jam with MeeBlip triode on bass. Featuring: Squarp Pyramid sequencer, MeeBlip triode, Audiothingies MicroMonsta, Preen FM2 and Korg Electribe 2S.
Features
Analog filter
Our aggressive Twin-T analog filter is unlike anything you've heard. It can be warm and sweet when you want it to be, or crank it up for over-the-top resonance and distortion.
Three powerful oscillators
Detune triode's dual digital oscillators for huge sounds. Activate the pure digital sub-oscillator for more bass. Enable PWM sweep to add shimmer.
Wavetable mode
triode includes a hidden wavetable mode with 24 aggressive digital textures for sonic variety.
Full MIDI control
triode offers full MIDI control, including real-time tweaking of parameters using MIDI CC. Perfect for live performance or as part of a sequencer-based rig.
Open source
MeeBlip triode is open source hardware. It comes ready to use, but you're welcome to check out the schematics, read through the code and make changes.
Extended controls
Get hands on and tweak your sounds from the front panel. If you want more control, hidden parameters like envelope and filter attack, Pulse width and envelope modulation are available using MIDI CC.
Our products
Independently made
MeeBlip triode is a project of James Grahame (blipsonic) and Peter Kirn (CDM / createdigitalmusic.com). It's independently designed and manufactured, then hand-assembled and tested in Calgary, Canada before making its way to you.
Free and open
The MeeBlip project is fully open source hardware. It's ready to play, no assembly or hacking required. But if you do want to learn how it works or modify it, you're free to do so. Circuits and code are all available via GitHub, and are covered by a permissive Creative Commons and GPLv3 license. That means MeeBlip is an electronic instrument that gives you complete freedom for the future.

What people said about our previous releases
If you’re itching to get your hands on some physical knobs and make a few filthy sounds, the anode is a fantastic buy.
– Future Music
After a day in the studio it becomes clear that nothing else sounds like anode. Key Buy.
– Keyboard Magazine
This small box is bursting with possibilities.
– Sound on Sound
The anode doesn’t sound like a [KORG] Volca … It’s fatter and nastier, and it also feels like more of a staple. It has a grittier, arguably more analogue character than anything in its price range, and it’s simple yet proficient.
– Resident Advisor

We're waiting for a new batch to arrive. Today's orders will ship June 30th.
MeeBlip triode is part analog, part digital, capable of producing a range of uniquely aggressive, bass-heavy sounds.
triode's huge sound is driven by three oscillators and a unique twin-t analog lowpass filter. Two digital pulse / pwm / sawtooth oscillators can be detuned and a square wave sub-oscillator adds to the bottom end. For sonic variety, triode also offers hands-on access to 24 grungy wavetables, along with dual envelopes routed to oscillator amplitude and filter cutoff for powerful filter sweeps and effects.
