Nerdsynth at Noise Kitchen Synth Fest#2 in Brno

Next week there is the great Noise Kitchen Synth Fest #2 in Brno organized by the Bastl Instruments guys. With many Synthesizers, Modulars, DIY Workshops and performances. And the Nerdsynth will be there, too. You will be able to play with the recent Nerdsynth prototype and chat with me about its future.

First video with visuals

Once in a while we show major updates and now we can present the first full video with visual sequencing. Again, this is the very first visual implementation but it gives a clue what it might be. There are also some other GUI updates (player indication, progressbars and the 2 new visual tracks).

Happy New Year – The big screen

Happy New Year Everyone!
Thanks for all the support of the last year. We will try our best to get the Nerdsynth ready for betatesting in 2016.
For now, a photo of the Nerdsynth screen on a big TV.
The big screen
Video output is basically working. Next to cloning the Nerdsynth screen, there will be video sequencing too to create ‘tracked’ visuals.

Nerdsynth prototype demo late 2015

Finally…a new demo. Not all features in there. But you can see some new stuff for sure.Enjoy!

New Nerdsynth Prototype and ADE Soundlab

Autumn has arrived and we have finally finished our new prototype.  It’s the first prototype where we can plug in different Sound Cartridges. We made 7 of them: ATMegatron, Meeblip, DSP-G1, Soundgin, SID, CV/Gate, and a DIY one. We designed a proper circuit board for this prototype and had it assembled at a production facility to get a feel for the challenges that lay ahead for the final design of the Nerdsynth. Also, we used a 3D printer to try out different designs for the enclosure of the Nerdsynth.

Here you can see 4 Cartridge Prototypes:

We went to the ADE Soundlab to show the prototype to an audience. The days were pretty busy and we talked to many people, with many backgrounds, but they all agree: The Nerdsynth is awesome!
