"Ongaku is the sister panel of the infamous Bento japanoise box.
This panel has different features including LPGs, delays and reverb. With Ongaku you will create new sonic worlds from cavernous soundscapes to vibrant generative pads in the style of Eno’s, to unpredictable noises or super bongo action west coast style… It is so organic that it feels alive. See for yourself how the probabilistic clock can create amazing strange rhythms.
DESIGNED FOR PERFORMANCE
You don’t need anything else. Just open Ongaku and you are ready to fill the stage with otherworldly sounds.
Ongaku is a magnificent tool for live improvisation, drones, strange rhythms and extremely flexible for sound design.
You can use any virtual audio driver to connect Bentō with your DAW, just in case…
RECORD ON TAPE
A cute tape recorder with many tape simulations is at hand to record your sound and gigs
Ongaku is pure experimentation, free from cliché and formulas."

"Bentō is a noise box inspired by the Japanoise scene.
An instrument for live improvisation and sound design with a distinctive, extremely warm and lively character.
You can create an analog fat wall of sound with its unpredictable oscillators, filters and feedback circuits. Record to magnetic tape and export your sounds or connect Bentō to your DAW using a virtual audio driver.
Discover a world of organic, aggressive, unpredictable and warm noises.
FAT AND ALIVE
If you think that software can’t sound hot and organic like analog equipment, prepare to be surprised by this crazy noise box. Bentō uses custom designed unstable oscillators, filters, feedback networks and tube saturation which will bring you incredibly fat sounding noises and organic waveforms.
Crisp super fat sound?
Hell yeah!

"The audio you are hearing is my first exploration with Giorgio Sancristoforo's 1950's electronic music studio emulation, Berna 3 https://www.giorgiosancristoforo.net
It is a true treasure trove of vintage gear, a wonderland to sonically explore. Enjoy!

"Berna 2 was released in 2013 and it had a substantial improvement of the user interface. Meanwhile this early electronic music studio simulation become popular among schools and institutions of electronic music, among them the TUFTS University and the Royal College of Music of Stokholm. The primary goal of Berna had always been education and always will be.
Berna 3 tries to push the early electronic music studio simulation further, with more realism and details, and a new set of devices. All in all, Berna 3 will be an useful instrument both for students as well as for composers and producers who are interested in playing test equipment and historical devices."
":Berna 3 is a software simulation of an early electronic music studio with equipment inspired from those used at Milan's RAI Studio di Fonologia and Cologne's WDR.
Berna 1 was released in 2009, Berna 2 in 2013.

THE LEGACY I remember in 2009, when I was working at the first release of Berna, that first and foremost, Berna was my love letter to the RAI Studio di Fonologia Musicale, the electronic music studios of the national radio and television of Italy, founded in 1954 by the composers Bruno Maderna and Luciano Berio. The Studio di Fonologia has been an obsession for me for many years. It was the better equipped electronic music studios of the 50s, with a lot of devices created ad hoc by the Italian Physicist Alfredo Lietti, who literally scavenged the RAI warehouses to collect all the electronic parts from broken or unused devices. The Studio was directed by Berio and Maderna, first, then by Luigi Nono, and for me these three composers are the sacred trinity of the classic Italian avant-garde. I immensely love their work and their legacy. But behind the buttons and the mixer console, there was always the prototype of the modern sound engineer and producer: Marino Zuccheri, the technician in white coat that assisted the composers and very often created the sounds of the masterpieces of Italian electronic music. Zuccheri has been an immense inspiration for me, as a sound technician myself, and to his legacy I, once again, dedicate this new version of Berna.

"Points & Lines is a new software dedicated to experimental music, drones and sound design, based on classic subtractive synthesis.
However the number of the available tools (20 oscillators, 20 VCAs, 20BPFs and 20 Pan channels) makes it a unique software capable of complex sounds and atmospheres seldom easily available in classic synthesizers."
"CLASSIC BUT DIFFERENT
Points & Lines is a new software dedicated to experimental music, drones and sound design, based on classic subtractive synthesis.
However the number of the available tools (20 oscillators, 20 VCAs, 20BPFs and 20 Pan channels) makes it a unique software capable of complex sounds and atmospheres seldom easily available in classic synthesizers.
FROM TINY SOUNDS TO HOURS LONG PIECES
Changing the score length can transform your composition radically in an instant. The complex trajectories of frequencies, pan, amplitude and pan can evolve in just 1 second, or in hours.
UP TO 80 OSCILLATORS
You can record up to 3 stereo tracks of 20 oscillators each, and play them along the live score to create massive 80 VCO, 80 VCA, 80 BPF and 80 PAN music.
Later you can export the separate tracks and edit them in your favourite DAW."
