ABOUT THE BUILDER:

Created by Tony of TronxSynth.com, inventor of the AxeSynth (2004) and numerous experimental instruments including the Space*Synth, Lunar Module, and Sonic DrumAxe. Instruments have been used by professional bands including Mutemath and Velva. Each unit is handcrafted with precision and attention to detail, combining craftsmanship with innovative musical design.

SOUND CHARACTER:

The SpaceBass excels at punchy bass tones, atmospheric pads, evolving textures, and experimental soundscapes.

*The fretboard is split into 2 sections, called Controller A & Controller B. Controller B provides immediate, unprocessed bass attack perfect for rhythmic playing, while Controller A offers lush, effect-laden sounds ideal for melodic content. The combination creates a powerful performance instrument with incredible sonic range."

"I've started making custom platform/bases for the synth circuits I make. Here is the Phase3 MIDI Synth with a newly designed base/platform, made with a Sience Labs LongMill cnc machine." You can find a demo of the Phase3 here.

"Experimental MIDI controlled FM synth (frequency modulated synthesis, same synthesis method used in classic synths such as the Yamaha DX7, early 90's sound cards and arcade video games).

Can be used with PC or Mac MIDI software such as Max/MSP, Ableton, Pure Data, and any hardware/keyboard with standard MIDI output (MIDI controller).

Controls are: 1. Wave shape, 2. FM Intensity, 3. Modulation Rate, 4. Modulation Level, 5. Note Attack, 6. Note Release.

Operates on 9V power adapter plug (2.1mm, positive center @ approximately 1A), or it can be used with a 9V battery.

Standard 1/4" audio jack output."

"Some more google sketch-up models. I haven't made a video about any of my new models (or any models for that matter) in a while so I thought I'd throw one together quickly.

All models (c) Ben Anderson 2009"

Note the Tronix keyboard in the beginning. Tronix actually exists, you can see the only other post by clicking on the label below. Anyone know if they actually made a keyboard?
