WELCOME TO THE WORLD

OF MOTOR SYNTHESIS

INSTEAD OF TRADITIONAL ANALOG OSCILLATORS, THE MOTOR SYNTH USES 

DIGITALLY CONTROLLED ELECTROMOTORS AS ITS CORE AUDIO SIGNAL SOURCE.

 

THE MOTOR SYNTH IS DRIVEN BY EIGHT MODERN BRUSHLESS DC MOTORS, TYPICALLY USED

FOR DRONE-RACING. THEY ARE EXTREMELY FAST, PRECISE AND DURABLE, AND WHEN OPERATED WITH

VIRTUALLY NO PHYSICAL RESISTANCE OR FRICTION THEY CAN GENERATE ENOUGH TORQUE TO REACH

A TOP SPEED OF ~300 REVOLUTIONS PER SECOND ALMOST INSTANTANEOUSLY.

 

WITH SO MUCH POWER AT HAND, HAVING PRECISE CONTROL OVER THE MOTORS 

IS THE MOST CRUCIAL ELEMENT TO MAKING A PLAYABLE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT. 

OUR ENGINEERING TEAM HAVE DESIGNED A PROPRIETARY MOTOR DRIVER AND FEEDBACK SYSTEM WHICH 

ALLOWS US TO REGULATE EACH MOTOR’S ROTATION SPEED WITH EXTREME ACCURACY -

THUS CREATING 

A NEW KIND OF AUDIO OSCILLATOR

WE ARE EXTREMELY PROUD OF THE MOTOR SYNTH - NOT ONLY FOR ITS RAW AND UNIQUE SOUND, BUT ALSO 

FOR THE TECHNOLOGICAL ACHIEVEMENT THAT IT REPRESENTS.
