Well, today is a milestone, everything is ready and has been sent off to fabrication to make the first hardware prototypes.
Caladan is (will be) an 8-part multi-timbral polyphonic analog / digital hybrid synthesizer.
We are carrying on the legacy of a fantastic, groundbreaking synthesizer called the 'Parva' by FutureSonus. Building on its DNA, we are putting our own twist on it to make it the perfect partner to the S2400.
Same form factor, same aesthetic (yes, same wood sides if you want)
It will bring polyphonic playback of multi-sampled instruments (SF2, SFZ, +) out of the box.
But the special sauce is the 8x expansion slots inside the case which will allow me to go completely fucking nuts with add-in voicecards.
OPL3, SID, SEM, SH-101, MiniMoog, Pro-1, etc etc... all these flavours can be realised on expansion cards and all accessed by a common UI.
Voicecards can of course be analog OR digital. The intention is to open this side of the synth up to allow 3rd party developers to create cards also.
I'm literally creating MY 'Dream Synth' and I want to take you along for the ride.
First hardware should be here in a few weeks!!
Here's a couple of renders of what the prototype will look like.
FUCKIN YES!!!!!"
If your name is a killing word, just don't use it anywhere near the synth.
ReplyDelete8-voice Jupiter 8 expansion card? I'd probably buy it for that.
