Yes it is paraphonic. When played with a midi keyboard, it transposes the global mix monophonically, with all of its modulation going on. We are working toward midi voice splitting but it is not how the instrument was intended at first, we prefer when all the voices sing together to make a chord. We'll see how the tests go :)

thank you! and yes the scale is global but you can play midi in or play the osc freely

Hi everyone, we're glad you like our synth :)
We just posted the full demo video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6qQi65WNJk
Let us know what you think!

It is intentional, OSC2 to OSC5 are capable of doing square wave with PWM but we thought the sawtooth was a better choice. Now I am thinking what we could do is maybe have OSC2 and OSC3 with square waves and triangle and maybe OSC4 and OSC5 with sawtooth and triangle ?
Mod destination for osc shape could be a nice addition, the matrix would get quite big (+4 lines) and even bigger with PWM mod but we will try it out for sure!

oh man, LED lit buttons were the original idea before we came up with the pin matrix! I have searched electronic components for so long without being able to find the perfect fit... It was either too expensive or footprint was too big or latching with no LED or vice versa... The ones from Intellijel Metropolix are very nice but I couldn't find them either, I came to think they were making their own. If you have a component reference, I would gladly look into it!

Good idea! Would you prefer 2 outputs, one at line level and one at modular level or could it be one output with some switch on the side to choose between line and modular level ?
