Soldering Synthesizer

"ソルダリングシンセサイザーは半田ゴテを使って演奏する新感覚のシンセサイザーです． ツマミも鍵盤も一切使わない全く新しい演奏方法を確立しました．半田ショートでリズムパターンを変えるだけでなく，抵抗やコンデンサを直接取り替えることでドラスティックな変化を楽しむことができます．

ソルダリングシンセサイザーは16ステップのシーケンサと4トラックの音源を持っています．シーケンサは半田をショートすることでリズムパターンをセットできます．音源部分はT-Bridge回路で構成され、コンデンサと抵抗値の組み合わせにより様々なパーカッション音色を再現することができます．また、EQ調整やBPMも該当する部品を変更することで自由に変えることができます．すべての部品を自在に取り換えられるので、従来のシンセでは味わえない幅広い音作りを楽しめます．

The Soldering Synthesizer is a new type of synthesizer that is played with a soldering iron. We found a completely new way of playing music without any knobs or keys. You can change the rhythm pattern by electric shorts, and enjoy the drastic changes by directly replacing the electric parts such as the resistors and capacitors.

The Soldering Synthesizer has a 16-step sequencer and 4 tracks of sound generator. The sequencer can set a rhythm pattern with short circuit by the solder. The sound generator part consists of a T-Bridge analog circuit, which can reproduce various percussion sounds by the combination of capacitor and resistance. Also, you can change the EQ and BPM freely by changing the corresponding components. All components can be replaced, so you can enjoy an infinite sound making.

A combination of 16 steps x 4 voices The Soldering Synthesizer has a 16-step sequencer and a 4-track sound source. The sequencer can set the rhythm pattern by shorting the solder. The sound source part consists of a T-Bridge circuit, and various percussion timbres can be reproduced by combining capacitors and resistor values. Also, EQ adjustment and BPM can be freely changed by changing the corresponding parts. All parts can be exchanged freely, so you can enjoy creating a wide range of sounds that cannot be experienced with conventional synths.

"The World’s Smallest, Letter Size Pipe Organ

Hybrid Recorder Pipe Organ RP-09

"After half a year since its release of RP-103, we succeeded in miniaturizing it more by re-designing all its circuits, mechanisms, and software. We made it because we want more people can enjoy the pipe organ personally.

By utilizing Roland K-25m as the RP-09’s keyboard, we could successfully miniaturize it to letter size (A4 sheet size) including keyboard.

While RP-09 has similar structure to the classical pipe organ, it uses two Arduino Pro Mini to control its internal mechanism. It is also controllable via DAW or sequencing software.

This is a fusion of the technology of the past and present realizing the very solemn but very personal pipe organ on your desk top."
