Modal synthesizer

Description

CalSynth's full-size replica of Mutable Instruments' Elements, in 34 HP: the same modal synthesis voice, an exciter (bow, blow and strike) setting a resonator of modes ringing, from strings and tubes to plates and bells, with stereo space and a reverb, built with the original's parts.

Key features

  • Exciter mixer: BOW, BLOW and STRIKE generators, each with its TIMBRE, shaped by the CONTOUR envelope; FLOW and MALLET refine the blow and the strike
  • Resonator: GEOMETRY from plates to strings, bars and bells; BRIGHTNESS, DAMPING and POSITION of the excitation
  • SPACE sets the stereo width, then an algorithmic reverb that can freeze
  • PLAY button and GATE input; V/OCT and FM inputs with COARSE and FINE tuning
  • Ten CV inputs with attenuverters, two external audio inputs, stereo outputs
  • Black or silver anodised aluminium panel; a limited silver edition with Mutable's coloured knobs
  • Built on Mutable Instruments' open source design
