First Crowd Sourced Synth? - the Tyrell

Update: A VSTi plugin version is now available.

Something interesting happened when the German electronic music site www.amazona.de started a reader poll to find out what a "Dream Synth" should be like.

They collected so many high quality suggestions that they actually ended up with a full synth design that was totally crowd-sourced!

The survey was conducted over a one year period and has resulted in a design that really does deserve the title "dream synthesizer".

The Tyrell's features include:

• 8 voices / true analog
• 2 oscillators
• Oscillator sync, FM, ring modulation and pulseb modulation
• Wave-forms sinus, saw and two different noise waves (morphing from sinus to saw)
• Multimode filter and band-pass filters
• Arpeggiator
• Two ADSR envelopes
• Three LFOs
• Midi, midi-clock for ARP and CV/gate in/out

Along with these beautiful computer generated pictures, they have completed detailed layout and technical plans. Now they're looking for a manufacturing to put it into production and make it truly the world's first crowd-sourced synth.
