Hold tight, synth enthusiasts – a pocket-sized analog powerhouse is about to revolutionize your sound.
In a world where bigger often means better, Crows Electromusic is proving that small can be mighty. Their new analog synth, Lore, is challenging everything we thought we knew about compact sound design. Much like recent innovations in music technology, this tiny marvel is pushing creative boundaries.
This reminds me of my first encounter with FM synthesis at CCRMA, Stanford’s Music Tech lab. I spent hours creating otherworldly sounds with a massive modular system, only to realize that the most interesting textures came from the simplest patches. Sometimes, less really is more!
Pocket-Sized Analog Synth Revolutionizes Sound Design
Get ready for a sonic revolution in a tiny package! Crows Electromusic’s new Lore synthesizer is redefining what’s possible in portable sound design. This pocket-sized powerhouse measures just 3×3 inches but packs two independent triangle-core oscillators and full FM synthesis capabilities.
Following their successful OVUM release, Crows Electromusic designed Lore with ambitious goals: pushing compact synth boundaries while enabling more aggressive soundscapes. The 100% analog circuitry delivers everything from pure tones to metallic, grinding textures, all without digital components or complicated menus.
Here’s what makes this analog synth special: a simple yet powerful FM synthesis implementation, crossfading oscillators, and immediate hands-on control. At just $59 USD, it’s housed in an eco-friendly bioplastic case and powered via USB. No battery needed – just plug in your headphones and start exploring!
