The dsp-G1 Analog Modeling Synthesizer - World's Smallest Hardware Synth?

You might have thought the Ploytec PL2 was the smallest hardware synth.  Maybe not.  You are looking at the complete synth, MIDI in to audio out.

Currently on Indiegogo

"The dsp-G1 is a computer model of an analog synthesizer running with a sample resolution of 44.1KHz and 16-bit. It reads the parameters from the frontpanel knobs and calculates the sound output. It is played through a MIDI-IN connection.

It features a 3-DCO variable waveform oscillator, 18dB Lowpass filter with resonance, 2 Envelopes and 1 LFO. That adds up to 17 frontpanel realtime knobs.

The waveform can be seamlessly morphed from Sine, Triangle, Pulse to Saw.
There is also a Wrap setting for additional harmonics.

The 18dB resonant lowpass filter sounds very realistic and selfoscillates at high resonance settings.

It's 5-Note paraphonic meaning that it can take 5-key chords but they are all routed through single filter and amp envelopes.

All internal calculations are done at 32-bit integer resolution and output at 16-bits.

The dsp-G1 is a standalone synthesizer and requires no computer to play.
Just MIDI input from a keyboard or sequencer."
