The world's first electro-mechanical desktop synthesizer. MOTOR Synth is based on a unique motor oscillator engine - it is a system of eight electro-motors that are able to instantly and precisely change their rotation speed in order to produce musical notes.

How it works

This is one of the Synth's eight motor oscillators. It can produce four distinct waveforms - the optical disc creates sine, saw and square waves through reading wave reflections via infra-red sensors while the electromagnetic pickups at each motor's base produce the inductive "M" waveform.

The MKII features an additional third DIGITAL VOICE (DCO) with fully independent controls of all parameters, adjustable four note poliphony and other features:

  • proprietary virtual-analog oscillator and noise engine with waveshaping
  • dedicated multimode digital filter with extensive functionality
  • multiple routing options for Filter and Output

Each Motor Voice has it's own separate analog FILTER with fully independent controls of all parameters:

  • four filter modes: 24 dB Low Pass, 12 dB Band Pass, 12 dB Hi Pass, 24 dB All Pass with self-oscillating resonance
  • analog drive circuit
  • multi-mode analog filter envelopes (ADSR, AD, AR, DADSR, ADSHR) with adjustable CURVE parameters
  • keytrack engine with gradual control over amount, direction, and GLIDE
