- ALT is an analog soundscape synthesizer designed to expand the realms of sonic exploration, through intricate motion.
in this demo, we go over the 3 sections of ALT (Voices, Alter, Movement), cover all main features, explain the pin matrix, the workflow, and show a few examples of how the synth can sound.
key features:
- unique, hands-on and screenless workflow - not even a shift button
- 5 voices with free frequencies or following scales to create beautiful melodies
- stereo panning per voice
- MS-20 style stereo filter
- wild delay with infinite feedback
- modulation pin matrix with 2 LFOs, a random generator, an envelope follower, and 17 destinations
- light and sound sensors to make it react to its environment
- midi and CV inputs
…
ALT is for creatives who wish to explore a different workflow that will give rise to unheard harmonies, complex rhythmic patterns and precise sound design.

This synthesiser not only looks incredibly good, it also sounds really fantastic!
Great!!! France is slowly becoming the leading force in super extra synth inventions. I can just imagine the ALT with Onde from La Voix du Luthier. Hope the price will not be too high. 😀
I’ve been buying synths for a long time. I’m old and jaded and not much excites me anymore.
This looks fabulous.
Having midi control sets it aside from 'similar' things like Subharmonicon or Lyra 8, and means it could blend much better into my set up.
Bravo. Superb.
This is very nice to read, thank you.
agreed, had the Lyra , but no midi was a big fail for me.even tough the design is different this one seems way more capable .(industrial design is not my thing tough, but I can live pass that)
@@faober3594 To me, the Lyra8 doesn't feel expressive enough, with a theremin and mic, you get to open and explore so much more potentials.
Lyra8 is in no way a bad instrument, it just doesn't have these 2 features which give it so much more freedom imo.
This an admirably straightforward demonstration of a radically ambitious synthesizer. A great example of how experimental doesn't have to be pretentious. I've never supported a kickstarter in my life, but I would happily support this project. Bravo!
Absolutely stunning take on what a synthesizer does, is, and how users interact with it. Well done 👏
Absolutely love the sound from this! Can't wait to learn more.
A lot of power in such a welcoming format. Bravo!
This looks phenomenal! Very excited to get my hands on this!
Gorgeous design. Love the functionality, very unique.
I love this kind of "chord" osc like we see with dreadbox and the alt mode in Stages... so kudos!
Ohh wow, an analog synth with lots of possibilities but still with a straight forward interface. Amazing job 🎉
Love it. Sounds amazing. Nice simple look. Will check it out further.
Beautiful on so many levels !
Thanks guys for doing this - brilliant stuff and excited to get my hands on one!
Really interesting! I love when makers create unconventional instruments like this; thinking outside the box! Would love to get my hands on this... especially for my next Film Score!
I really really like how this sounds. Such a cool synth!
awesome demo! looks like a delight to play!
It's a wonderful synth that is a little above my current synth budget (had the early bird been €600, I might have gone for it, and at €500 it would have been without hesitation) but I'm glad to see the Kickstarter got funded literally just within a few minutes. I hope you do really well with this one. Perhaps I'll get one some day, or whatever other synth you might make in the same vein later after the well-earned success of this one.
There certainly is a market for something a little different like this, that is highly atmospheric, aesthetically pleasing even just visually, and with an intuitive user interface that puts many other synths to shame, so I hope you will also come up with more ideas or evolutions of this one in the future.
Bonne chance!
Merci 🙏
Amazing!! The sound is so good. Harmonically and stylistically. Sign me up!!
Already love how it sounds! 🖤
Super cool instrument. Will definitely be the historic one. I will buy for sure!
Wow, it seems like you designed this specifically to appeal to my interests. Following! I’ll be backing this for sure.
Can't wait to buy this piece of gear. Great job!
Beautiful machine and great demo!
This thing looks crazy cool!
What a beautiful sound
If Forbidden planet were to be made today, this is the exacting synth to make the score.
Such an expressive instrument, I would more than welcome it to my setup, but that all comes down to $.
I am not expecting it to be cheap, but just hope it will be with reach, something that would be curing my frustrations to soundscaping.
Wishing you all the success with your amazing synth.
good job guys, cant wait to try it!
omg. this looks and sounds so good!
absolutely beautiful sound and intuitive!!!
Incredibly creative!
Sounds lovely!
Very novel approach, looks cool, sounds great! Congrats and wishing you a successful launch! 😊
Amazing concept. Bravo.
It sounds really nice, I’ll keep an eye on the kickstarter
Amazing unique Synth!❤
Hmm I like this!
No screens and fader!
Sounds really great!
Très très cool, le fait de pouvoir le faire interagir avec l'environnement est une excellente idée!
Looks super interesting. Minimally designed, but powerful. If this product is to reach market, I'd love it to keep as focused as possible.
well done, this looks fantastic
beautiful piece of art!
Quel taf de dingue, c'est beau, c'est puissant, c'est inspirant et c'est unique. Vous donnez envie d'osciller avec vous.
Yeah, what a fantastic unique synthesizer ….great work🖤! Greetings 🖖👽
Now this looks exciting.
I can't wait for this beauty!
Très chouette projet et l'usage d'une matrice de modulation est une excellente idée. Je vais suivre ça de près.
Looks and sounds great, I would love to get my hands on one someday!
Love it. I need to get my hands on one.
Beautiful machine, I wish you a lot of success
Instant "The Clangers" (1969 UK) or Dolphins! Very cool...
This is amazing.
Stunning. I’m in.
Definitely great ideas here
Très belle approche d’un point de vu musical, j’adore le look aussi, très curieux de découvrir un peu plus ce qu’il a dans le ventre!
I am insanely hyped
I like the look and layout
That looks pretty cool.
This is awesome
It's like an early 0pn machine! I love it
The pins are a really neat idea 💡💡💡
Wow, nice interactivity, controlleability, FORMFACTOR and great sound with character. Like a synthi in contemporary, little bit of Lyra here and there. But with CV. Definitely something I’m lookin for, especially on the road.
Love this 🟧⬜️⬛️
Love this, just signed up to your mailer
Incredible ❤
That’s lovely.
Cool device!
Definitely will back up this project! A question/request, I hope a light version faceplate is an option, a light grey/whiteish one would be better and more helpful I guess especially working with the matrix pin holes.
super sympa ce synthé
Très prometteur! 👍
De plus en plus appétissant. J'ai hâte de poser mes mains dessus 😀
Looks interesting.
Looks and sounds dope ❤! I see the voices themselves can't modulate each other... But I think there is a workaround by sending one the audio channels back to the env follower and monitoring in mono, I see tons of complex there 😁
Bravo!
What an interesting looking thing.
I was always wanting a Lyra8 but felt it possibly too restricting.
I think if the $ is right, I will defo get 1 of these.
I like this. ❤ probably can’t afford it. But can dream.
SO COOL
show must go on
bravo !
il est parfait
Man this looks really nice and makes me wish i had money
I can't wait to hear bout the pricing, this would be a great fit in my setup! I love the look, the sound, and the unique matrix. This is incredible, and I am super excited to see more of it. Terrific work!
Incroyable, the theremin as a bonus feature is just a fantastic idead. I just hope it's not worth more than my car.
very interesting
Wow ! Tellement puissant (et si beau )
I bet this gets them raving and dancing on their chairs down at the local relaxation clinic!
there should be a tray or holes for unused pins. patch cables hold on to instrument connected only on one side. hard to imagine looking for small pins on a table or in the pocket in some live situations.
Excellent see you soon in Berlin )))))
what a beast
I love how it looks and sounds. I must say I am a little disappointed the pins don't seem to come in different resistance values, as is the case with other synths using pin matrices, but I would presume that would have increased the cost hugely since it could no longer be made simply from switched sockets (which is what I presume they are).
It certainly looks cooler than a matrix of buttons.
no attenuation per destination, but you do have an amplitude control for each source (column).
@@cymaforma Yes, I spotted the amplitude per source, which is also great since many synths don't actually have that, and it can make such a huge difference to the sonic possibilities.
Instant Boards of Canada Album! 😊
This is different. Well done for thinking outside the box.
This gives me some energy 52 and 90s techno vibes. Would be interested how much this ends up costing
goddd damn i hope its affordable
If my income balances willingly I certainly would love this instrument in my studio with launch pad, M-audio 63 work station and my electro Harmonix filter's beautiful design
BoC comes naturally to this
This looks amazing,
I want one, and I'm also afraid of the price
Very nice machine! “I can’t even pronounce that number” -- I can help: 295 quintillion 147 quadrillion 905 trillion 179 billion and so on, the rest is easy, try yourself! -- May this be the bidding of your funding campaign! Bonne chance de votre voisin en Allemagne!
merci! we also hope this will be the bidding of our campaign haha help us get there everyone 🙏
çà se prononce "beaucoup" qui est mon nombre préféré
Very intriguing synth! Well done! What would be the estimated cost?
Love this! So beautiful. Just to clarify, delay but no reverb?
Yes
