Buy a Photosynthesis
The Photosynthesis will soon be for sale, in sets of ten units at a time. We are a very small company and our resources limit us to handmaking small batches for the time being. We have many dreams about scaling up and introducing new instruments. However, for now, we want to focus on making sure every unit is of high quality and everyone who buys one is completely satisfied. If you're able to buy an instrument here, it means we have one for you! If not, it probably means we're sold out until we make more. We're very excited to get these to you, stay tuned for a release date.
If you want to be emailed when they are ready to buy, put your email into the form below and we will reach out when the time comes, hopefully early 2025.
The Photosynthesis is a portable, solar-powered, generative MIDI synthesizer and drum machine. It has a unique tonal touch keyboard, which can be selected to play in any key and 16 different musical scales. It features a powerful arpeggiator and sequencer, which can be controlled very precisely, or let loose to create new and unexpected results.
The built-in sounds are made with beautiful, nostalgic, wavetable synthesis. There is MIDI out, so you can control other instruments with this one. There are also built-in effects.
The case is made from a hardwood: North American Cherry. The solar charging top piece of the case comes standard and protects the instrument from damage while on the move.
