Description: This is a listing for my Gamechanger Audio MOTOR SYNTH MKI - I was one of the original backers of their campaign and have enjoyed it, it's a unique piece of gear that has some really neat features. I don't produce music anymore so I'd rather it be with someone who will make good use of it. Used in a smoke-free studio. From Gamechanger Audio: The Motor Synth has two ways of producing its core sound.Firstly, magnetic pickups are placed on each of its eight electromotors; the spinning coils result in a very industrial-sounding, over-the-top analogue tone. Think eight harmonious revving engines pumping out an intimidating noise!Secondly, specially designed reflective optical disks have been attached to the shafts of each electromotor. Each disk contains a graphical representation of three standard audio wave-shapes. As the electromotors spin, the disks are set into circular motion, and each wave-shape is read by a dedicated set of infrared sensors, then converted into an audio signal. Thus, the wave-shapes on the reflective optical disks become precise musical notes, corresponding to the speed of the electromotors. Instead of traditional analog oscillators, the MOTOR SYNTH uses digitally controlled electromotors as its core audio signal source. The MOTOR SYNTH is driven by eight modern brushless DC motors, typically used for drone-racing. They are extremely fast, precise, and durable, and when operated with virtually no physical resistance or friction they can generate enough torque to reach a top speed of ~300 revolutions per second almost instantaneously. With so much power at hand, having precise control over the motors is the most crucial element to making a playable musical instrument. Our engineering team have designed a proprietary motor driver and feedback system which allows us to regulate each motor's rotation speed with extreme accuracy - thus creating a new kind of audio oscillator.
