I've held off from being into Empress for a while (mostly because everything seemed to be right at good enough but not quite "I'd sell a kidney for this" good), but there's a good chance I'd actually end up selling some pedals for that. It's, pretty much, exactly the kind of thing I'd like on my board right now.

Also, that Generalissimo Magneto looks cool.
I am curious if there's already something out there like it, though.
Especially when one considers Eurorack's exponential expansion over the last couple of years.

Wait, how did I get through the entire Zoia demo without realising it was a Knobs demo?! :facepalm:

Ok, but what about one that is envelope controlled, or manually tuned, or is also a bell-synth?

Very into this. Love envelope phasers, so this is right up my alley


The Empress Zoia looks cool too, especially at that price point. I don’t have the creativity to get good use out of the infinite possibilities though, so I’ll probably skip it

That one looks odd, because of the name. Will the next Keeley pedal will be named "Ibanez"? :?:

This is a synthh desgined with kids 3 & up in mind. Based on looks and features, it's more of a family/sharing instrument. No pricing or real Web presence either, so probably more of a working concept than a ready-to-order item.

MIDI input for an external keyboard or sequencer controller.
Eight unique oscillator modulation schemes.
One Low Pass Filter.
Two Envelope Generators.
Two LFOs.
3-in/3-out modulation matrix.
Performance Mode optimizes device display for music production.
Audio Output jack.

I would have been ecstatic to play with one of those at any age in single digits.
Considerably excite to get one as an old boy :excellent:

Teenage Engineering is teasing a new project on their Instagram account. Considering the OP-Z still hasn't hit stores, I would not hold my breath on this being available that soon either.

Also...Grape Phaser? :idk:

Have I slipped into a timeline where the market was beckoning for another 2 knob phaser with no features?
