"A demonstration of the Dasz Instruments Alex expandable synthesizer at Musikmesse 2016. Apologies for the extreme flickering in the video - it was caused by a bad setting on my camera. The instrument actually looks great and the buttons/screen don't flicker at all."

MESSE 2016: Theresyn - One Unique Theremin Inspired Instrument!

Published on Apr 7, 2016

"MESSE 2016: Theresyn - One Unique Theremin Inspired Instrument! Nori Ubukota takes us through his instrument"

Update: I did a little digging and it turns out the circuit design of the Theresyn is from none other than Yves Usson, of YuSynth and of course the Arturia MiniBrute, MicroBrute and MaxiBrute.

Project conceptor : Nori Ubukata (left)
Circuits’ design & developement : Yves Usson (right)
Wood craft : Chris Dubier (middle)

"You love theremins and synthesizers? Then, you’re bound to love the Thérésyn, a new hybrid instrument !

As stated in the name, the Thérésyn is a mixture of a theremin and a synthesizer. To be more specific, it is an analog theremin, with various synthesizers adds on, as well as other interesting functionalites.

The Thérésyn has been imagined by Nori Ubukata (Japanese sound designer, composer and thereminist, ex. ARTURIA sound and specification designer) and all the circuits has been designed and developped by Yves Usson (French scientist in cellular and molecular biology, well-known creator of the ARTURIA Minibrute synthesizer).

Originally, the theremin part of the Thérésyn was to be made with Theremin.Uno, but for technical reason, Yves Usson finally designed his own circuit, using the heterodyne principle.

Here is a small technical overview :
- 7 octaves range
- Foldable antennas
- Touch trigger pad with pressure sensor (inspired from Konstantin Kovalsky’s theremin)
- Resonator with Jawari (inspired from the Palm du diffuser of the Ondes Martenot)
- Built in speaker
- Power supply by AC outlet or battery
- Headphone output
- Tuner output
- Two audio outputs (one for the instrument and another one for the resonator)
- Mute switch
- Pitch tracking Multimode Filter
- Envelop generator (available in pad trigger mode)
- Possibility of mixing the Thérésyn OSC with VCO waves
- VCO with several waveforms (saw, square, pulse, white noise and tri-saw with metalizer)
- Volume antenna mode, pad trigger pressure mode and pad trigger EG mode are switchable"

Dave Smith and Pioneer DJ to Announce Something New at the Musikmesse

This one in via Soviet Space Child, spotted on DJWORX. I bet you didn't see this one coming. If you look at the Pioneer DJ website you will see a number of DJ products featuring multi-colored pads as seen in the graphic although in much more limited layouts. This is DJ product so a good guess would be DSI's filter and/or effects integrated into one or more of their products. As for the number of pads in the graphic? We'll find out soon enough. If you have any guesses feel free to leave a comment. Note Dave Smith will be at the Pioneer booth daily noon to 5PM Thursday April 7 - Saturday April 9.

Update: details are here.
