Haken Audio Announces EaganMatrix Micro Synth Module


Haken Audio, creators of the Haken Continuum Fingerboard and other MPE-capable synths, has announced the EaganMatrix Micro – a new synth that packs the EaganMatrix sound engine into a compact USB module.

EaganMatrix is the sound engine that powers the Continuum, the Expressive E Osmose and several other synths. The EaganMatrix Micro features the same full-featured EaganMatrix sound engine, but in a compact self-contained form factor, powered and controlled via USB.

An intro video below, by Edmund Eagan, demonstrating using the Warbl wind controller to control EaganMatrix wirelessly, via BLE MIDI and the CME WIDI Host:

The demo includes both realistic virtual instrument sounds and more ‘out there’ sound design examples. Eagan customized these presets to take advantage of the Warbl’s specific sensing technology.

Hundreds of Presets are included with the EaganMatrix Micro. An external cross-platform (Mac and PC) Haken Editor can be connected to modify and customize the EaganMatrix System Presets, or to create new presets from scratch.

Specifications:

  • Polyphony: Nominal 1-3, Maximum 8
  • Stereo Audio Output: 3.5 mm TRS
