23 Psychoacoustic Desktop Synthesizer

Twin Tropiques 23 Psychoacoustic

The 23 Psychoacoustic is a standalone psycho-acoustic instrument capable of producing sound in both sub and super audio ranges. Hybrid Electro-Acoustic Sounds, Sinusoidal Phase Shifting Oscillations, Deep Sub Bass, Piercing Rhythmic Drones, Ultra Low Frequency EMF Percussions alike are right at your fingertips with just a careful touch or clip. Use the interface festooned with six touch sensors to create dynamic performances along with the alligator clip emblazoned front panel.

The core of the topology are a pair of filters that originally were used for telecommunications protocols, called Twin T. This filter sounds great when it feeds back on itself and creates exceptional percussive sounds. In fact, this type of filter system was used for many early drum machines. The top has assignable 3.5mm jacks with the top-right 3.5mm jack normalized as a main output. Use the 39 patch points that cover everything from LPGs, to filter parameters, to pulsars, and chaos generators.

A device that rewards the daring, the 23 Psychoacoustic from Twin Tropiques is a unique desktop drum synth that will keep you coming back for more.
