Overview
Gamechanger Audio, the creators of PLUS and PLASMA concepts, present the MOTOR Synth!
MOTOR Synth is the first electro-mechanical commercial desktop synthesizer. It combines the newest technology in flying drone and audio processing worlds. This is a completely unique musical instrument. It has actual electromotors as the main sound source!
The MOTOR Synth is built to inspire the player and to be reliable and intuitive. It provides an undiscovered, immersive experience in music creation!
Motor Synth is an analogue, electro-mechanical synthesizer that uses a system of electromotors as its main sound source.
Motor Synth represents a new method of analogue audio signal generation since digitally controlled electromotors have never been used as the principal sound source for a commercial musical instrument — indeed, nothing like it has ever been built before!
Unique industrial motor sounds for music creation and soundscaping
Out-of-this-world, yet warm analogue harmonics and overtones
A completely new way of sound Generation in a commercial instrument
A powerful synthesizer with familiar controls designed for playability
Our mission is to create music gear that improves and changes the way people approach and play music. The crazy idea of making the PLUS Pedal is what brought us together almost 4 years ago. After a lot of hard work, we've managed to bring PLUS Pedal, and then PLASMA Pedal to musicians all over the world, and now it is time to make MOTOR Synth an even greater success!
This is the reason we turn to crowdfunding. We wish to make MOTOR Synth available to everyone in terms of soonest delivery and best price point. This means that we need to organize our production in larger batches. Being a small company, this means that we need your help to make big things happen. Together we can make MOTOR Synth a reality in the quickest and most accessible way.
Motor Synth produces sounds by accelerating and decelerating eight electromotors to precise rpm (revolutions per minute) that correspond with specific musical notes. The instrument’s eight-electromotor configuration makes it a four-note true polyphonic synth with two voices per key played.
Firstly, magnetic pickups are placed on each of its eight electromotors; the spinning coils result in a very industrial-sounding, over-the-top analogue tone. Think eight harmonious revving engines pumping out an intimidating noise!
Secondly, specially designed reflective optical disks have been attached to the shafts of each electromotor. Each disk contains a graphical representation of three standard audio wave-shapes. As the electromotors spin, the disks are set into circular motion, and each wave-shape is read by a dedicated set of infrared sensors, then converted into an audio signal. Thus, the wave-shapes on the reflective optical disks become precise musical notes, corresponding to the speed of the electromotors.
