Modern Sounds presents Pluto, a modular synth that innovates and reinforces its category. This modular synth is powered by an internal battery. Its focus is to make complex and random sequences in a pocket-sized package. This brand new Synth is the perfect introduction for the brand, which makes its debut with it. Modern Sounds is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. This beautifully made pocket-sized digital synth has taken its inspiration from portable vintage instruments like the synths of the 80s.
This tiny synth is packed with two voice dual sequencers that offer five channels to be modulated. Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra are the names that Modern Sounds have and are each named after plutos moons. With these channels, you will be able to create some randomized and complex sequences. There is a master clock that controls the temp for all the mod outputs. A speed knob which can alter rhythms complements the master clock. Pluto also includes a width knob that lets you widen or borrow the width of the pulse of the channels. Additionally, you can add more complexity to your rhythms with shuffle input. This input will displace channels when they are fed with a high signal but only momentarily.
This hardware unit is compatible with Eurorack, making it very versatile. Besides, it is can communicate with other gear in your home or pro studio. You can work with it alone or pair it with your favorite tools and programs. Pluto also features a mini touch keyboard and a delay with loop and glitch modes you can use while performing. The Pluto contains a 2500mah internal battery that you can charge via mini USB. The brand has not yet announced its lunch date or the price tag for Pluto.
