FSOL & Digitana - HALia & SX-1 synths

[Ross]

FSOL - down the studio
using prototype synthi in development
FSOL - DIGITANA


Looks like a bunch of gear based on the synthi. Are they developing their own version (called the Digitana?)?


Really beautiful track too.

"the video doesn't exist"..?

he got too close......

Looks like this video was made public by accident then - chalk it down as another one for the speculation board.

Works on Brian's FB profile...
I don't think it's private...

That's fucking cool. Analog synths are teh fire right now apparently.

Nice. Reminded me of Jaga Jazzist.

HALia
Another new project being developed in collaboration with The Future Sound of London. This is an all digital 'pocket' synth using multiple powerful ARM-based microcontrollers. Sonic possibilities are endless. Everything from huge pulsating multi-oscillator drones, FM-synthesis to Buchla-esque noodlings (and everything in between) are all possible. Imagination is the only limit!

SX-1 Stand Alone Expander
The SX-1 is a 'stand alone expander' based around the Synthi AKS KS Expander (described elsewhere on this website). It is the result of ongoing collaborations between Digitana Electronics and the legendary UK band The Future Sound of London. It shares all the features of the Synthi AKS KS Expander but requires no Synthi to use it (though one can of course be used with it) and in addition has a host of new features described below.

These are getting a bit of press - coverage by Sequencer.de, Resident Advisor & Fact.

Mailing list for updates on the synths

Thanks, signed up for updates on both even though I'll most likely only be able to afford the Halia. Hope these are coming out soon.

[Ross]

Ha yes, there's absolutely no possibility I'll be able to afford the SX-1. I reckon the HALia will be more around the Volca price range though, so I've already got my eye on getting one.

[Ross]

The SX-1 will be on display at the Superbooth event in Berlin, 20-22 April.

I can only imagine how cool is a gathering of synth makers in Berlin... Wow...

And here's what the SX-1 sounds like.
