The MAGA’s concept inspiration designed when Evans Storn experimenting with functions of synthesizer from another brand, watch demonstrations on the net which he never tried before and after that he pouring all of the experiences along with his personal DIY (Do It Yourself) analog synthesizer. From all of that circumstances and based upon thought on the advantages and disadvantages of analog synthesizer, finally the idea of Storn MAGA formed.

Storn MAGA itself is Analog Modular Synthesizer, which is there are analog and digital technology processes, or called hybrid, the outcome and process in Storn MAGA is pure analog, with features given include things like Voltage Controlled Oscillator, Voltage Controlled Filter, Voltage Controlled Amplifier, Low Frequency Oscillator, Attack Decay Envelope, ADSR Envelope and Noise.

Digital functions of MAGA is simply to process MIDI control system and modulation patch routing storage (saving routing analog path, as a substitute of input / output cables routing path that found in a normal modular analog synthesizer), which could keep about 40 presets.

VCO, VCA, VCF, LFO, AD Envelope, ADSR Envelope, Noise
VCO with multiple independent output
VCO input from CV IN
Processing external input from instrument such as guitar, bass, drum, vocal etc.
MIDI IN and MIDI OUT
Patch Matrix with save and edit system

Richard Devine Interview & Gear Pics on I♥SYNTHS

via Richard Devine

"My interview and new studio tour with iheartsynths just went up today.
Some really nice pics there.

"I♥SYNTHS: When did you get into electronic music? Was it a certain musician or piece of gear that got you interested?

Richard Devine: I started getting into electronic music back in high school. I was a DJ at local clubs and raves back in the early 90′s, and became fascinated with making music after hearing a Aphex Twin remix of “Mind stream” EP from Meat Beat Manifesto. At age 17 I started to build up my studio, which around that time was mostly early analog drum machines and synths. I would go to the local pawn shops here in Atlanta every weekend to see what I could find. It was a great time to buy this stuff as it was at a point when no one wanted early analog gear. My first proper synthesizer was the Arp-2600. This was a completely life changing moment for me. I was completely blown away by the semi modular format of the synth. You could also use it to process other sounds via filtering, ring modulation, and spring reverb. I still to this day have and still use the 2600 for my day-to-day projects. It taught me the basic fundamentals of building and shaping a sound from pure synthesis."
