LA Priest Polygene Teaser

Polygene inspired by earliest polysynths of 1970s, it is fully polyphonic (all 24 notes can be played at same time), can be tuned to any scale or tuning, is multi-timbral and completely touch sensitive. Touching any part of synthesizer bridges connections in circuitry and creates unique sound. Every area of the instrument&gold plated circuitry can change its tone. At top, oscillator transistors can be synchronised by touching them, while below there are 24 pressure sensitive polyphonic pads and at bottom 24 note keyboard triggers more familiar polyphonic synthesizer voice. All of these can be played simultaneously and there are many more effects of circuitry to be discovered, as each of traces react differently to touch. 12 tuning controls allow you to tune 12 pairs of oscillators to any scale, from standard equal tuning to any microtonal, non-western or even unison tuning. Bottom 3 oscillators can go into sub-bass range and using oscillator sync method of bridging transistors by hand, bass oscillators can play wider range of notes. By using transistors as only active components in instrument, each oscillator passes through only handful of sound shaping components before reaching your ears. Instruments that rely heavily on transistors (like Minimoog and EMS Synthi for example) are famous for their raw, untamed sound that has much to do with this circuit topology. Synthesizer is built into hand-made cedar wood case. Power supply not included as power supplies vary lot from...
