Shmøergh Hog Is ‘Simple, But Fat’ Synthesizer
Shmøergh has introduced the Hog synthesizer, a fully analog two-voice monophonic synth that they say features is “designed for musicians who need a simple but fat synth in live situations.”
Features include a 100% analog signal and control path with two oscillators, a sub and noise sources, and “an extremely drippy diode ladder filter” that keeps the low end, even when resonance is fully on.
Hog is available now as a DIY project. All the hardware and software are open source and freely available, for anyone who wants to build their own.
