The synthesEis-Ter is a synth in a suitcase. The core is a doepfer DIY kit https://doepfer.de/DIY_Synth_e.htm as recommended by Dreamer https://nurdspace.nl/User:Dreamer. This is an analog open-design synthesizer. It is up to the builder to decide on the routing and controls for all functions.
The aim of the project is to build a functional yet experimental musical instrument. Currently the project is very much in development by Eis-T https://nurdspace.nl/Eis-T and there's no overarching design.
Next steps:
- Decide on which functions need CV control, knobs, switches and audio outputs
- Make a design
- think up a power solution
- start building
Thinking about/options:
- Add a keyboard controller inside the case: arturia keystep? modify an old keyboard?
- As it is a suitcase it reminds me of the EMS Synthi aks. so it should have a patch matrix or maybe matrix mixer https://sound-au.com/project129.htm on the bottom panel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMS_Synthi_AKS
- Some digital integration, like this arduino thing: http://shaduzlabs.com/blog/21/synapse-a-diyfriendly-cv-io-shield-for-arduino.html
