Mad Kid Empire's first synth: Seofon - After a year of design and production, the Seofon is finally here.
It produces a sound that sounds like a water droplet, or perhaps the next moment it will be generating a noise as intense as sawing wood.
At the heart of Seofon is an organic noise generation circuit consisting of seven nodes in the centre, which outputs noise directly and generates rhythms by feeding signals to the nodes to interfere with them. Seofon itself provides three sets of pulse oscillators to adjust the pulse width of each set, and positive and negative phase outputs. Different sound events are generated by extracting information from the nodes into the filter. All sounds originate from the interference and extraction of noise signals from the seven sets of nodes. The synthesiser package and circuitry was designed by Mad Kids Empire synthesiser designer xamynot; the painted artwork on the back of the synthesiser was drawn from artist Yu Zhi.
Seofon
At the heart of the Seofon is a noise generating circuit consisting of seven groups of nodes in the centre, with direct outputs as noise, which are self-wired to form self-oscillations, or can be interfered with by inputting signals to the nodes to generate fixed frequency rhythms.
Seofon itself provides three sets of pulse oscillators, each of which can be adjusted for pulse width, and a forward and reverse phase output. Different sound events are generated by extracting information from the nodes into the filter.
All sound comes from interfering with and extracting noise signals from the seven sets of nodes.
The contacts make it possible for Seofon to be virtuosic, by touching different contacts in combination to quickly generate instant sound events, which generate a series of linked influences like a butterfly effect.
The Seofon lit version is without metal contacts and comes with stereo outputs.
Seofon standard version is with metal contacts, two left and right mono channels and one stereo output.
Pre-orders are currently being accepted, with a production lead time of about two weeks and a shipping time of usually a week to two weeks.
