Synthspace is my attempt to capture the physicality of a modular synthesizer in a virtual instrument!"

"Hi, I'm Markus. I'm an XR programmer by day, but I'll always be a musician at heart.

Whenever a new technology arrives, my first thoughts are: how can I use this for making music? So you can imagine, when I first tried Virtual Reality - I knew at an instant that this was going to change the way we make music forever! The fantastic thing about VR is that it frees us from our screens and mice and keyboards. Suddenly we can use our hands again and we have the entire room to play in.

Synthspace is my attempt to capture the physicality of a modular synthesizer, while adding in all sorts of magical bits that are only possible in a virtual world. VR is the exciting part, but I want to create an instrument that is fun and flexible and ready whenever you need it, so I'd love to have it available on as many platforms as possible (VR, Desktop, Mobile). And I'm working towards supporting multiple users working together in the same virtual space.

I've spent countless evenings and weekends on this project, and now I'd love to take it to the next level and work on it full time! If you like the idea and see the potential, please see if you can support me in any way. Every little bit helps and I'd love to bring you along on this journey!"
