Jomox - Jayemsonic Resonator Neuronium

The resonator has been making it's rounds accross blogs lately including Gizmodo of all places. The first 20 units are sold out and have been delivered. The second run is almost complete. Click here for more on Jomox's Jürgen Michaelis Resonator Neuronium. What makes the Neuronium unique is its six analog resonant neurons. Not sure how it works, but looking at the knobs and the description it seems like some sort of FM and mixing accross the six units using the six knobs. Interesting stuff.

"We have 6 neurons with 6x6 = 36 net connections for one parameter. In order that summation and FM is connected, we have 2x36 = 72 net connections with individual pots for each node."

  1. Jurgen Michaelis deserves some sort of award- how about a Noble?

    This is a wonderful blend of user interface, artwork and synthesis. From the reviews I've currently read, NO ONE has been able to describe this in layman's terms.

    Jergen's manual? Oh my Lord- forget it. Ground control to Major Tom!

    My review will be brief because I only owned it for 4 months and then returned it for his XBASE999 (plus lots of credit dollars- this puppy is pricey!) The XBASE999 is the freakin' bomb and will not be reviewed here.

    All in all I was endlessly intrigued by the RN. But here's my only modest complaint: I felt at times that the RN was playing ME and not the other way around. Press a button and impress your friends! In Jurgen's defense I trust there is much more to this unit than the 4 months (and I'm talking about 30 hours per week within those 4 months) I joyously explored this artwork/artifact.

    There are less than 100 owners of this unit, but if you're out there and have much more thoroughly explored the RN, please post a review!

    I have yet to find on any web page a review that can be understood in a knowledgable but layman's synthesist's terms.

    Still, I wish I could afford both the XBASE999 and the RN and be a JoMoX monster!

    Here's to Jergen Michaelis- a brave genius thumbing his nose at all those horrific and DOOMJED plug-ins!
