OVUM, New synth designed for Exploratory Sound Synthesis
Crows Electromusic, a new synth company from Vancouver, Canada, has introduced OVUM, a standalone all-analog tool for exploratory sound synthesis.
OVUM gives direct control of five independent triangle-core oscillators, with individual controls for each function. The developers say that OVUM’s un-quantized interface is perfect for exploring pure tones, drones, and microtonal sound textures. OVUM is available now for $129.
What they say about it:
“During development of OVUM we’ve had the pleasure of handing the instrument to people who’ve never touched a synth in their life – and then watch their eyes light up as they discover how easy it is to make strange and beautiful sounds when they’re unconstrained by conventional time signatures and musical scales. We think people of all ages, musical abilities, and experience levels are going to love this instrument.”
