Design Pics and Details on the New Storn Maga Analog Synthesizer

You might remember mention of the new Storn Maga in this post.  We now have some pics of the interface and case along with some details on the specs and design influence.

"Storn MAGA, “first” commercial Analog Synthesizer created by Storn System, MAGA‘s name itself taken from the name of fourth month in the Sundanese calendar, since the ideas and concepts about MAGA was born in April 2013.

The MAGA’s concept inspiration designed when Evans Storn experimenting with functions of synthesizer from another brand, watch demonstrations on the net which he never tried before and after that he pouring all of the experiences along with his personal DIY (Do It Yourself) analog synthesizer. From all of that circumstances and based upon thought on the advantages and disadvantages of analog synthesizer, finally the idea of Storn MAGA formed.

Storn MAGA itself is Analog Modular Synthesizer, which is there are analog and digital technology processes, or called hybrid, the outcome and process in Storn MAGA is pure analog, with features given include things like Voltage Controlled Oscillator, Voltage Controlled Filter, Voltage Controlled Amplifier, Low Frequency Oscillator, Attack Decay Envelope, ADSR Envelope and Noise.

Digital functions of MAGA is simply to process MIDI control system and modulation patch routing storage (saving routing analog path, as a substitute of input / output cables routing path that found in a normal modular analog synthesizer), which could keep about 40 presets.

Features :

VCO, VCA, VCF, LFO, AD Envelope, ADSR Envelope, Noise
VCO with multiple independent output
VCO input from CV IN
Processing external input from instrument such as guitar, bass, drum, vocal etc.
MIDI IN and MIDI OUT
Patch Matrix with save and edit system
Complex mixer routing (input/output path)
Portable Case
Specification :

1 VCO (SINE, TRI, SAW, SAW SHAPE, SUB)
1 VCF (LPF/BPF)
1 VCA WITH Modulation DRIVE
1 NOISE (WHITE / PINK NOISE)
1 LFO (TRI / SQUARE)
1 ADSR ENV
1 AD ENV (CHAOS LFO / AD envelope can receive input trigger via LFO output)
1 SAW SQUARE LFO (CHAOS LFO)
1 EXTERNAL AUDIO
PRESET MODULATION MATRIX (40 preset)
HEADPHONE OUT
MIDI IN/OUT
MIDI OUT (CONTROLLER)
CV GATE IN
CV GATE OUT
AC INPUT SUPPLY"

New Storn System Analog Hardware Synthesizers from Bandung Indonesia

"The 'STORN' brand name itself, derives from SynThesizer electRONic, it’s gonna be 'STRON' when united, however it is not easy or even a catchy word, so that we split up the word and turn it into STORN, an identical easy to hear and ear friendly word. Storn System begins inadvertently research in the 2000s, it started off with curiosity, fascination and interest to create musical instruments such as Analog Synthesizer that can be use to played out with the band. For the first time we just custom analog synthesizer, sound effect, music instrument modification, repairing music instrument.

From that ystorn-system-analog-synthesizer-lavatoryear we attempting to customized and build our own Analog Synthesizer. Our very first Analog Synthesizer produced is mono synthesizer semi modular called 'LAVATORY' in 2005 use by Ade Habibie a musician from Jakarta Indonesia, and the first Keyboard custom modification is for Elang from Polyester Embassy band.

Just after repetitive trial error and then finally convinced, we made a decision to officially commercial as Analog Synthesizer maker in Bandung Indonesia on the year 2005, many thanks for unstoppable supports from our fellow folks, analog synthesizer rulez!.

And so in this 2013 we start to develop our very own boutique custom designed analog synthesizer modular to suit demands and stop to receive custom made or service devices, we begin to concentrating our aim to become one of analog synthesizer creator and join the little business niche.

Hopefully we make analog synthesizer which might be an alternative solution for musicians and bands on the planet for producing experimental sounds that expected, therefore we desire that with the addition of Storn System on the global community is to get rid of the boundary in between Indonesian music and global music, we would like to provide a message that lots of folks in Indonesia, that has capability beyond logic.

We also want to said that each and every analog synthesizer that we designed it all self-taught that we learn from the exploration, as for each analog synthesizer we develop with all heart and blood, simply because we are also musicians and know your hunger.

Storn System – Analog Synthesizer Maga

The 'first' analog synthesizer that we create in the 2013 called 'Maga' taken from the name of the 4th calendar month of Sunda and the 'Maga' word has two syllables so easy to mention, the name was taken when we starting the research in the fourth month or April 2013.

'Maga' is a semi modular analog synthesizer that have analog and digital technology, but the resulting sound is a 'pure analog'. The digital part works to controlling MIDI and patch system restore for modulation routing only.

wait for next description and panel picture, we working on it"
