VOID9 M脮NAI



via VOID9

"M脮NAI is a standalone portable multitimbral synthesizer that goes wherever your creativity takes you. The integrated battery eliminates the need for power outlets, while the compact form factor fits comfortably in a backpack. Whether you’re sketching ideas on location or performing on stage, M脮NAI delivers comprehensive synthesis capabilities without compromise.

Planned beta version release: Summer 2026

Every control on M脮NAI is positioned for intuitive access. The 8 endless encoders provide tactile feedback without physical limits, letting you sweep through parameters naturally. Touch-sensitive strips respond to the subtlest gestures – the left strip dedicated to modulation, the right offering multi-touch control across 20cm of expressive surface. The 2-axis joystick adds another dimension of real-time control.

M脮NAI integrates seamlessly into existing setups. USB Host port accepts MIDI controllers, expanding your playing surface. Standard MIDI I/O connects to legacy gear. Four CV outputs – pitch, modulation, velocity, and gate – bridge the gap to modular systems. Line-level audio input lets you process external sources through M脮NAI’s effects. This isn’t an isolated instrument; it’s a hub that enhances your existing workflow.

A Tool for Sonic Exploration
M脮NAI encourages experimentation. The two built-in microphones capture audio for immediate processing or sampling. The pedal input adds hands-free control. The combination of traditional keyboard layout and function keys provides both familiar territory and new possibilities. This is an instrument that rewards curiosity – the more you explore, the more it reveals.

The CNC-machined aluminum enclosure isn’t just aesthetically refined – it’s engineered for durability. Sandblasted and anodized in matte black, the body resists wear while maintaining a professional appearance. The integrated battery means you’re not tethered to power outlets. Whether you’re sketching ideas on a train, performing in a park, or working in a studio without available outlets, M脮NAI adapts to your environment rather than constraining it.

The workflow is immediate. Controls are positioned for intuitive access, with visual feedback from 109 LEDs across the interface. The high-resolution display renders waveforms and parameters clearly. Multiple synthesis engines can run simultaneously, each with dedicated effects and modulation routing. Sequencers maintains precise timing whether you’re working with internal sounds or triggering external gear."

Crawling Toward The Sun by Mike Wallace Featuring the Melbourne Instruments Delia Synthesizer






"Recorded, mixed and mastered by Mike Wallace in 2025, made solely on the Melbourne Instruments Delia synthesizer.

Rooted from a seed, destined to withstand the climb
What started as photosynthetic dreams began the ticking of time.
Slowly sprouting before ones eyes, the journey seemed too far.
The heat of the day caused blooming at night, coloring the sky with stars.

The joy of life was short-lived, as the sky began to mud
In a flash of light, the day went dim and soiled the ground with flood.
Time slows down when rain from heaven finds the plant off guard
The aftermath of lessons in life grows petals back twice as hard
Forced to remain resilient and calm. the plant now moves with ease.
The rain from summer turns frozen for winter-like icicles melting through trees.
With droplets of water penetrating the soil, the ticking of time has begun.
The day is fresh, a now journey awaits, as the plant crawl's back toward the sun.

"Here is a video about the small Eurorack recording / FX box I have recently put together, which I call 'The Concrete Box'

In the video I describe the various modules and how I work with them as a way of recording and manipulating other instruments (in this case a vintage Buchla 100), to create live performances and evolving soundscapes"
