Modern Sounds has announced the availability of Pluto, a new compact two-voice mini-modular synthesizer. Here’s what they have to say about it: “Pluto is compact and portable, with abilities that belie its small size. Five channels of modulation (named for the five moons of Pluto), two voices, two sequencers, a mini-keyboard, and onboard effects make Pluto its own complete sound environment, but it can happily play with all your other gear. The design of Pluto draws from a legacy of portable electronic instruments, from the Buchla Music Easel to 80s Casio synthesizers. With a focused, approachable interface, Pluto invites exploration.” Features: Portable 2-voice, 2-sequencer patchable synthesizer Create complex, randomized sequences Low-aliasing digital oscillators, wavetable oscillators Rechargeable battery Built-in delay and reverb effects Mini touch keyboard Clock range from 1 bpm to audio rates Audio input for audio processing Audio output (stereo headphone, line) Quantize to preset scales, MIDI, or even audio input Eurorack-compatible patch signals (5v) Sync In & Out MIDI In & Out (TRS, USB) 2 channels CV Out (0-5v, 1v/oct) USB C cable included 5 patch cables included 7.5 x 3.5 x 1.57 inches, 12oz Audio Demos:
