Superbooth 20HE: New Kodamo EssenseFM Rackmount Desktop Synthesizer

Published on Apr 26, 2020 sonicstate

"Kodamo EssenseFM is a sound module with an interesting and modern touch screen interface. At the heart of the synthesizer is a 6 operator synthesizer, each voice has its own low pass resonant filter and an extensive list of fx and modulation options.

You can easily create your own fm algorithms and patches by using the touch screen, you can also draw your own waveforms with the touch screen and import wav files. You can create complex envelopes, create layers and splits with advanced options like round robin,

exclusion groups and an arpeggiator. You can create your own scales, temperaments and microtuning scales and much much more.

In terms of connections you get: eight balanced audio outputs and multiple MIDI inputs (DIN, USB & Ethernet)"

"The EssenceFM is a very powerful FM synthesizer combined with a modern and easy to use interface, offering studio-quality specs. Creating FM sounds has never been so fun and easy!

Touch screen controlled: connect the operators together as you like, draw the envelopes and waveforms directly on screen
Use the pots to fine-tune parameters and control sounds in real-time
Enjoy the huge polyphony (300 voices) to create rich layered sounds or play way too many notes!
Enjoy the built-in effects processor, the multitimbrality and the 3328 internal sound slots to create whole tracks with the EssenceFM

Eight balanced audio outputs and multiple MIDI inputs (DIN, USB & Ethernet) provide flexibility to your setup
Use the EssenceFM racked or laid on your desktop, tilted via the included support bars
We built it with quality in mind ! 24-bit DAC, fully isolated analog circuitry, steel and aluminium case, ALPS pots, Bourns rotary encoders, Kailh backlit mechanical switches...

The EssenceFM contains approximately 500 voices and 400 patch presets out of the box.
But we strongly encourage creating your owns!

Interview enregistrée dans le cadre du Synthfest France 2019."

"We are proud to announce the EssenceFM, our modern high-end synthesizer dedicated to FM synthesis !

It features the super powerful VFM engine (Variable Frequency Modulation) we designed, allowing flexibility in sound design and a lot of polyphony.

We are huge FM synthesis fans, but were disappointed with ergonomics and limitations we found in all FM synths. That's how the EssenceFM is born. It follows a very graphical approach to make sound editing fun and easy : operator's outputs are shown in real time during playback, envelopes are displayed as editable graphical curves, operators can be drag&drop to build the algorithm, waveforms are editable...

The EssenceFM aims for simplicity without sacrifying power.

Main features :
Free algorithm design using drag&drop
User-editable waveforms (free drawing & wave import)
300 voice polyphony (6-op FM voice with filter)
Up to 128 layered/splitted voices per patch
Graphical envelopes
Useable as a rack or table-top module
2 integrated effects processors
Professional sound quality with 32-bit DSPs, 24-bit DAC, >100dB SNR
Ultra fast boot time (< 3 seconds) Upgradable firmware"
