Hi guys!
We are a young group of three near graduate students who make synthesizers.
We would like to present our first synth with you, that uses a relatively unique synthesis method.
Concept:
In our Synth we initially use White Noise or other (rich) sounds as input material. This input is then processed by very narrow parallel high quality filters so that you continue to hear “notch” tones. These peak frequencies of these filters, read pitches, are determined by your plugged-in keyboard. The creativity lies in the application of carefully thought out build-in modulation processing on the audio input.
We want to sell this synth as a DIY kit as well. Since we want a lot of involvement with our target group, we want to take all feedback, questions and comments into account and proces this before we sell our first batches.
We are very curious about your opinion, so that we can improve our synth.
Please check our Demo! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow5p1pE ... nstruments
We would like to hear from you!
Greeting,
Freek, Tim and Shiva from Clear Cut Instruments

How much?
Capitalism is a cancer of the human mind, as with all authoritarianisms. It opulently gluttonizes the selfish and carelessly starves the meek. It consumes Mother Earth and Humanity unhealthily, currently.

The first and most important thing you should consider is a name change, it's too close (one letter different) to Skulpt from Modal Electronics.

It will likely cause some confusion and it's just bad form to release a product into the same market place with the same name, even if they function differently. If you made a Eurorack mixer and called it "Mixer", that would be OK, even though other modules exist with the same, because it's a generic/descriptive name but something like Sculpt (Skulpt) is not, it's more unique, a 'proper' name if you will.
