Looks aces, I really think you should make a synth.

Or at least design the interface. That rotating mod knob is a fresh idea. Kudos Griffin.

What are your thoughts on Max MSP, Synthedit and Reaktor?

Somewhere betweena Moog Voyager and a Studio Electronics joints.

Real analog, real thick, real sick.

Mongoose Analogic Synth from Griffin Avid Systems

4 Oscillators with choices for shape. Options for combination shapes and Super Saw.

Dials have multiple rings that rotate.

When silver Focus Dial is set to MOD and Routing Matrix becomes a circular wheel of Modulation choices. When a Ocs is chosen, the Routing Matrix feeds that OSC through the different filter options.

Right above the word filter are the patch effects. One press lights the preset bay and locks setting to Preset A and Preset B. This is useful for taking a snapshot of your work or morphing/transforming/combining/mutating presets. Each combination of button press controls what type of mangling system is used. I.E. Holding A while pressing B two times rapidly keeps the tone of Preset A and use B's settings.

Ships with software editor for patch storage and additional features including sysex dump.

Specs:

4 Voice Synth

CV In/Out

MIDI IN/Out

Headphone

Audio IN/Out Aux IN (usually headphone out re-routed here)

Can be controlled fully through MIDI.
