Delighted to hear that you enjoyed it! :) Yes it's a raw audio as downloaded from the internal SD card - then I replaced original audio in the footage with it. UA-cam applied some processing, so there is a link to Bandcamp where you can find the original WAV.
@@gechologic waaah thanks for the quick response ! Sounds like high end delay and reverb going on ! Crazy ! And what’s with that radio thing ? Can it pick up regalia fm radio stations and just jam over it or did I misunderstood that ?
@@patriceducharme1144 yes the signal from internal radio (or from line input) can be mixed with the generated drone and processed in the same way - that' shown in the other demo. Or it can be processed on its own, without any drone.
Thank you, glad that you enjoyed the sound! We will open preorders in a few days (you can subscribe for email notification via the link in description).
@@robodean99 I'm afraid so, at least for this first round. I can't speak for Mario and Anna, but I know that it's very busy trying to fulfil this initial run of orders. If you go on the mailing list you should get notified. My order is in the first twenty and I thought that I was super quick off the mark (within a few hours) - so it's just very popular and we all have to be patient... It'll be worth it :)
Sounds!!!..love it!….so its takes sounds from internal sd card?…but how i can load it?- no screen(…or i can use some browser in comp?..or an iPhone?…. And How its powered?…ext usb c port? 5v?
In this demo all sounds are generated and saved to the SD card as WAV files, but it's also possible to use a WAV file (or FM radio, as shown in the previous demo, or line input) as a background signal, to be processed by effects and/or to modulate these textures. There is a small OLED screen on the side (next to the connectors) to make it easier to manage settings and presets (configure volume, midi, change patch). And yes it's powered by USB-C and requires 5V so any compatible power bank or adapter or laptop should do. That's also one way how to import & export the WAV files, or you can take the Micro SD card out and put it to the PC directly.
Any ideas regarding a ship date on these? I preordered one for my better-half on 14 September... but hadn't heard anything since receiving my 'order receipt notification'. Cheers!
Thank you for your interest, but I'm afraid the shipping restrictions are still in place - we use FedEx and Irish post, neither currently ship to Russia. I'd say that if you have Lyra and Cosmos, you don't really need this, and vice versa ;)
yes that was my intention! :) the sound of this patch reminded me of that song, the original arrangement (not the one with Pet Shop Boys, although both versions are great)
Thank you for your kind comment! :) Those are variations of a few common effects (some are from open source code and some our own implementation) but I think what makes it sound good is the synergy and resolution in controls.
@@gechologic It sure is a very intriguing instrument. I already have a few items waiting on my shortlist, but I think this one will be added eventually. Why choose, you know? :-)
what about a drum tuning robot. like a tuning robot for a guitar but for drums. it tightens or loosens the parts to quickly tune the drum?. you were right about my other idea has flaws but meh the idea behind ideas is that any idea is ok as long as you can keep thinking new ones up eventually you will run across some good ones.
Indeed, if you want to have good ideas you must have many ideas. btw I didn't know drums need tuning, but it's probably done a lot less frequently than guitars?
Yes, it is a 12-note keyboard, playing the main voice, plus quick access to a few settings (in combination with one of the buttons which acts as a "shift").
Not quite sure if I follow, do you mean the notes played on the keyboard or how are the drone voices spread? Here the keyboard uses harmonic minor scale (Aeolian ♯7), it can be of course configured arbitrarily.
That's an interesting question. I bet there are many apps and plugins that do similar effects. Creating an app which displays this interface and works the same(ish) way is certainly possible, but many people are radically divided in their appreciation for apps vs. physical devices - both have advantages and disadvantages. It's a whole different space, where we, as a 2-person company, do not have the capacity or intention to move to. I personally would not mind the slightest if someone else recreated this as an app.
@@Subtronik I certainly believe so, iOS developers are usually very well paid. And it gets harder when real time audio processing is involved, even without the audio input it isn't trivial - I've checked previously with a quite experienced developer about making an app from the MMXX T-Ape synth (all the code readily available) and the asnwer was straight away "this is way beyond my pay grade". :D But I think it can be done by someone who already has the experience in the specific domain.
This is neither, we didn't include this version in the selection as for now I could not find a reliable source of them in good enough quality. All samples that arrived were manufactured with too high imperfections (for example the depth and diameter of the shaft hole is uneven) and most were scratched too. It is not noticeable in the video but visible to the naked eye at certain angle of light. However I like them very much, the circle that appears brownish is in fact more like a deep purple so when I get time, I will try to find them in better quality and add to the selection.
Thanks! Good to know. I was wondering that the knobs looked different than the selection on the site. I wasn't sure was it a question of different lighting. These look cool, they are subtle, kinda like a variation between black and honey caramel. 😊
@@gechologic cant tell you how happy i am you responded, I am very keen to preorder I wish I could preorder now. I have subscribed to preorder notification list. I hope once it comes out it doesnt sell out before I get it, worse nightmare.
Haha nice number (if you're an Intel fan :) but we're not on eBay. And we pay taxes, fees, build things to last and repair everything for free, if needed. That price would be realistic if it came directly from a factory in China to you, with the minimum warranty conditions (i.e. when the display breaks after 2 years you're out of luck).
@@gechologicYes my " bid" was a joke. Now Im scared I can''t afford it. Any estimates on when someone can purchase it ? I did sign up for your Newsletter.
@@IndigoBassNotes thank you for signing up, we'll send the newsletter around when preorders open. it should be ready by the end of the month. as for affordability, we're doing our best in pricing our products reasonably so as many people can enjoy them as possible, but we also have to make it sustainable as a business. it's a tough balancing act sometimes :)
I think that stupid "Ancient Aliens' show will say they left this here on Earth. So where can a person- you know- buy one of these? Or did they just make one- to pass around?
Yes we're still reverse engineering it, almost there. Trying to keep the aesthetic intact, except for the twisty things which were originally made from little alien rodent skulls, slimy and unpleasant to touch, so we replaced them with guitar knobs.
Outherworldly sounds ! Thanks for the trip 🛸 is it the raw audio from the synth on the video or is it going trough effects ?

I would kill to have a whole album of this kind of music
Seriously makes me want to get one even though I have NO experience with ANY of this lmao
Yay! :) My goal is to make this playable intuitively, so everyone can record such album without need to understand too much music theory.
That's when you know you need to get it! Any instrument just needs to inspire you to play
what an instrument!
Cant wait to put my hands on one!
This is so mental, the atmospheric layers are just so fine….
Please can I have one !
Thank you, glad that you enjoyed the sound! We will open preorders in a few days (you can subscribe for email notification via the link in description).
Orders are open BTW, just FYI!
They are? I keep going to the site and finding they are not. Was I just too slow?? :(

Waiting for,it to be available to purchase - great never-heard-before sounds and playability!
Thank you for your kind words and interest! The preorders should open before the month's end.
Wonderful sounds this time too.
Thank you, glad to hear that you enjoyed it! More to come, the sound engine is still evolving :)
I’m going to need one of these ASAP!

What a great demo! Seems like a fantastic synth, congratulations!
Thank you very much, glad you like it! :)
Awesome! definitely frequencies that resonate with me

Awesome! How can I buy one?
Отличные девайсы, развития и процветания!

Which batch was it? Hard to tell without knowing that, it could be anything between next week and next year. Thank you for your support!
Looks like your trying to open an ancient safe. Sounds great though!
haha totally! we need to add a patch with sounds of safe mechanism clicking.
Dayum, I love this.
Музыка просто супер 👍! Приятно слушать! 🥰👍❤️
Спасибо большое! Я очень рад, что Вам понравилось это звуковое путешествие!
Gorgeous

how can I get this shipped in St Peterburg? I'm eager to test it on the Soma gear setup especially through the Lyra 8 and Cosmos
Thank you for your interest, but I'm afraid the shipping restrictions are still in place - we use FedEx and Irish post, neither currently ship to Russia. I'd say that if you have Lyra and Cosmos, you don't really need this, and vice versa ;)
The last few bars of this sound like, Hello Spaceboy, David Bowie
yes that was my intention! :) the sound of this patch reminded me of that song, the original arrangement (not the one with Pet Shop Boys, although both versions are great)
actually good job telling that from those 3 notes alone!
wow! I want it!
Very soon! :)
Let's have a whole album.
Maybe one day! And hopefully someone else will do it :)
What the hell is this strange contraption? The sound effects are outer-worldly. I haven't seen anything

It is not hands that call us. It is desire.
IDK justice and the synths call to me.....
Bring it toooooooo meeeeeeeeeee.
is there any specific function for the leaf/wing shaped touch plate?
Yes, it is a 12-note keyboard, playing the main voice, plus quick access to a few settings (in combination with one of the buttons which acts as a "shift").
@@gechologic what they would like to know i think is that the artwork looks like some kind of controller mechanism or is it really just an aesthetic?

From the arrangement of the notes, I believe he used an algorithm similar to that of harmonics on a string instrument... someone correct me on this.
Not quite sure if I follow, do you mean the notes played on the keyboard or how are the drone voices spread? Here the keyboard uses harmonic minor scale (Aeolian ♯7), it can be of course configured arbitrarily.
Can we get a virtual version as an app?
