Polytik
Described as a modular synth, Polytik is a new eye-catching take on a very old idea. Being brought to market via an upcoming Kickstarter campaign, the colorful system is made up of 4 modules, each providing a different component to the noise-making ecosystem. Designed first from the visual side, the layout of the electronic components on the exposed circuit boards is a sight to behold.
Superficially it looks quite similar in capability to the Little Bits/Korg Synth Kit components, but obviously in a much much nicer looking form factor. I’m very curious to see at what price point these come in.
From the creative team behind this new project:
POLYTIK is a collection of beautifully designed hand-held synth modules exploring the border between play and sound. Born out of a DIY ethos and the maker community, Polytik has been crafted into something very different – a series of beautifully designed objects in their own right. POLYTIK uses open-source hardware and encourages users to make new modules and hacks. The brainchild of John Richards and Jack Featherstone in collaboration with Artists & Engineers, these hybrid analogue/digital devices can produce a palette of sounds ranging from angular rhythmic sequences to abstract noise, pads and drones.
