this is probably the weirdest shit I’ve gotten from Kickstarter, lol. It’s called the “ResoLute”! It’s a synth where you determine the tone by pressing on one of two little strips on the neck, but then you have to “pluck” it by making magnetic resonance, either by twanging these springs you’ve got down at the bottom or by waving a magnetic pick over the pickups.
It’s bizarre as fuck but I kind of love it? It’s fretless and so I’m having a hard time generating consistent pitches, but that’s to be expected for something so new and so wacky. I bet it’ll probably play nice with my synth pedal, too.
no idea what I’m gonna use it for, but there will probably come a day when I’ll point at it and say “for some reason, YOU are the perfect sound for this song!” We’ll see lmao
