Kodamo Teases New Synth

US MASK1 uses Kodamo's exclusive Bitmask synthesis combined with resonant filters 23/03/23

Kodamo tells us that their forthcoming MASK1 , shown in a brief teaser preview above, is a powerful and expressive polyphonic synthesizer which uses their exclusive Bitmask synthesis combined with resonant filters. This is what they have to say about it...

From classic analog sounds to gritty digital textures, the MASK1 offers a unique sound palette.
It allows for musical phrasing, by slurring notes and varying articulations depending on how you play.
The MASK1 comes with 120 expertly-crafted sounds, a looper, an arpeggiator, built-in effects, sound layering capabilities and more.
Its aesthetics are inspired from late analog and early digital synths of the 80's, but with an easy to use interface without pages or nested menus.
