What

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.

prototype

Currently Eis-T is thinking about sensible layout ideas for the various functions. First conclusion is that the panel is way too big for the synth, which means more functionality can be added later on. The playability of the instrument with regards to the patchpoints is also a point of concern. SynthesEis-Ter Prototype.jpg


Next steps

  • Decide on which functions need CV control, knobs, switches and audio outputs
  • Make a design
  • think up a power solution
  • start building
