You may have seen Manatee in our Superbooth coverage from 2022 (see video above) and now the synth is live on Kickstarter and has already reached its funding target. Here's some details from the Kickstarter page...
Manatee is the most advanced Multitimbral MPE Digital Synthesizer from Fred's Lab.
Featuring a unique take on Spectral Synthesis in combination with a fine selection of classic Virtual Analog and 2-OP FM algorithms that can be influenced by many modulations options, the Manatee engine covers a lot of sonic ground.
Powered by 2x dual-core 200MHz 16 bit DSPs, Manatee offers a MINIMUM of 10 voices of digital madness, spreadable over 4 independent MIDI parts, to play full arrangements or generate massive and complex sound layers when stacking them.
With an ergonomic, hands-on user interface, carefully designed to expose all major synthesis parameters at immediate reach, Manatee is simply a joy for the sound-design enthusiasts, composers, live performers and all electronic musicians.
