The Irish company PhonicBloom, which creates unusual pocket synthesizers,\u00a0has released the<\/a>\u00a0Mmxx T-Ape sequencer synthesizer in the form of a compact cassette.<\/p>\n

The device is based on bytebeat technologies that turn program code into sound.\u00a0The main functionality of the Mmxx T-Ape is to “edit” the code using various switches, rotary controls, buttons and sensors.\u00a0We are talking not only about tactile sensors, but also about light ones: the sound signal can be changed by removing or adding illumination (for example, with the palm of your hand).\u00a0This function can be compared to the theremin.<\/p>\n

All the main control parameters, including sequencer, delay, arpeggiator and volume, were brought down (where the magnetic screen and guide rollers are located on a regular cassette).<\/p>\n

The cassette synthesizer can be connected to a PC to load pre-prepared music code.\u00a0According to the company, the Mmxx T-Ape will allow you to turn simple formulas (codes) into “very complex structures.”<\/p>\n

In Europe, they asked for 85 euros for a pocket synthesizer Mmxx T-Ape (in a stylish metal case).<\/p>\n
