Imagine a synthesizer that turns music-making into a mystical board game, where metal pieces and dice summon cosmic patterns straight from the ether. Released in 2018 by A Magic Pulsewave, this triangular device blends analog pulsewave synthesis with a one-of-a-kind gameboard sequencer, inviting you to divine melodies like an ancient spirit organ.
Its 7" x 7" x 2.5" frame houses six zones of triangular touch-plate contacts—three for octave registers and three for intervals—that form an 8-note system via 3-bit logic, all tunable with eight multiturn fine tuners on the side. Drop the included 30 solid metal Melorhythmic funnels onto the board to trigger rhythms and notes; downward triangles set switching speeds, while upward ones invert patterns for endless variations. A single analog voice emerges through the 1/4" line out or AMP Link port, with two 8-sided dice and instructions encouraging group play to invoke chaos and order. Power it via the included PSU, and it's ready as a standalone synth or sequencer brain.
Players love its hypnotic, hands-on flow—patterns evolve intuitively, sparking blissed-out jams that feel otherworldly. Some note the monophonic limit keeps things focused, though pairing with the optional Wave Expander unlocks CV/gate for modular rigs. It's a gem in AMP's esoteric lineup, alongside disc spinners like Star Song, perfect for anyone craving synth sorcery beyond knobs and screens.
