FRAKnoise Melancholytron Synthesizer Explores The Essense Of Melancholic Sounds
One of the more unusual introductions at Superbooth 2025 was the FRAKnoise Melancholytron – a new instrument designed to let you explore melancholic sounds.
“Can you build a synthesizer that always sounds melancholic?” asks developer A//ard Krijger. “Yes. I did it. Even a happy melody can still sound melancholic on this one.”
Here’s what FRAKnoise shared about the Melancholytron:
“The Melancholytron is a book with illustrated melancholic stories. When you buy the book it comes with a synthesizer developed by A//ard Krijger, Joran Jessurun and Edwin van den Oetelaar.
This instrument produces melancholic sounds, that fit the stories, or any melancholic music you want to make with it. Suitable for film-, game- or any kind of music that needs a touch of melancholy.”
The Melancholytron is expected to be available June 28, 2025. Details on pricing and availability are to be announced.
