Hesperides Mobile Synthesis Platform from Altered State Machines



From the creator of Aristotle



Currently on Kickstarter

Introducing Hesperides

Hesperides is Altered State Machines' new handheld synthesizer built

to accompany you on your venture to the outer regions of dissonance and back.

Designed for performance and explorative sonic mangling.

Every control can bring a drastic adjustment to the sound.

Go from vanilla to completely alien.

Self contained and portable, especially so with the battery pack.

Lend your support to our project, and put a little more chaos in everyone's pocket.

Altered State Machines history

Hi, we're Jesse and Ed.

Jesse became fascinated with modular synthesis around 2016 and went back to school as an electronic engineering technician to learn how to repair and create his own eurorack modules.

Altered State Machines grew out of Jesse's first project, the Aristotle sequencer which is now in its fifth iteration. Jesse is our electronics and hardware mastermind. Ed joined forces to twiddle bits with the software.

3 cool Eurorack modules you might not know about


video upload by Tom Churchill

"This video features three of my favourite modules that I think have flown under the radar a bit: the Altered State Machines Aristotle, which is a two-channel non-linear analogue ‘additive sequencer’; the Beers DAC, which is a voltage-controllable transposer/adder; and the AtoV Project cDVCA, which is a unique kind of waveshaping, distorting, VCA, filter, combo.

What they have in common is that they’re affordable; they're the only modules of their kind, as far as I can tell; and I hardly ever see them in other people’s racks. NB: This isn’t a sponsored video, I’m just a fan!
