Audiothingies P6, another Cortex-based synth

I thought I should do a little promo for a great project which is now available : the P6 Virtual analog polyphonic synth, based on the same technology as in the LXR : http://www.audiothingies.com/

I haven't gotten one yet, but I've been talking to the creator (who is a french dude) and following his project for some months now and I think he deserves some props for creating another toy for us :





(yeah it looks a bit like a Shruthi...but it's poly ! :-c )

    Nice, i will have to check the audio when i get home but this looks promising

    sounds great!

    >:D<
    if u want a shruti with polyphonie, have a look at this:http://mutable-instruments.net/ambika

    It does sound and look very nice. :) How about the firmware? Is it open source? Didn't see a link to github on the website.

    @whiteherbman : I'm currently building (well, troubleshooting...) an Ambika. I was referring to the size and look of the Shruthi...Ambika is much bigger ! ;)

    @tb323 I don't think it is open-source, at least for now...but I can ask about it if you are interested.

    Heh, I just ordered the kit but still have to put together my LXR first... that will be synth #3 with an stm32f4 :)
    I already asked about the firmware, he might open source the firmware in the future but it's closed for now.

    @dubtoms: No biggie. It still sounds great. But I would probably consider buying it more if there was a possibility to hack it some.. ;)

    @pld : LXR, P6...that counts for two if I am correct. What's the last one ?

    That was my guess, I have the first version which uses a different CPU so I was not sure. I'm just slightly disappointed I was not missing out on another project !

    I built one of these a few months ago - it's a nice little polysynth with a lot of potential.  Unfortunately the firmware is not open source though.  As-is, the firmware is fine - the synth works, sounds good and is stable, but open sourcing the firmware would speed up development a lot.

    The platform's open though, so it would certainly be possible to put different firmware on it.
