"Up for auction, Folktek Aether/Materia/Mentalis TRIAD, which has been discontinued by Folktek and is no longer in production. Very few were made. From the Folktek website:

Three instruments designed to function standalone or compliment, enhance and enrich the sound and possibilities of each other.

All three (Materia, Mentalis, Aether) can be obtained independently and will satisfy until they're joined by their soul mates. In the near future, you will be able to buy all three at once and they will include power jumpers so you only need one supply.

Some of the ways in which these three instruments work together;

- Aether oscillators pass through hands without audio cable.

- Aether CV controls Materia synthesis.

- Materia sequencing controls Aether, which is synchronized to Materia triggering but which can run on different timing.

- Materia can send Aether's sound back into Aether to use effects and mix with or without unaltered internal synthesis.

- Materia triggers Mentalis synthesis and travels through Mentalis circuitry to create new sounds.

- Mentalis accepts patching from Materia and allows the use of either modulation or any 4 patchable knobs.It also contains a removable patchbay to create a primitive memory for either or both Mentalis and Materia.

- Mentalis has a single touch plate which offers filtering, overdrive, etc. (similar to Materia) of Aether synthesis which also runs through the hands.

All three instruments can have power jumpered so only one supply is necessary. Mentalis is the power hub.

Comes with patch cables, manuals & power cable"
