Imagine blowing air through a virtual pipe and hearing it morph into everything from a haunting flute solo to a rumbling steam organ— that's the magic at the heart of this synth, born from a collab between Erica Synths and 112dB.
Its dyadic engine splits into Steam and Pipe sections: Steam generates airflow with ADSR envelope, key-tracking, velocity sensitivity, and a DC/noise mix (or external input for wild processing), while Pipe adds Karplus-Strong resonators, multimode filtering, saturation, feedback, and delay for organic overtones. Five syncable LFOs with delay, a deep mod matrix with four lanes, and built-in reverb/delay effects let you sculpt evolving tones across 8-voice polyphony. MPE-ready with MIDI CC control over all 32 parameters, it shines with wind controllers but pairs perfectly with any keyboard; stereo outs and headphone jack keep it desktop-friendly at 45.5 x 27 x 7cm and 3kg.
Players love its lush, lifelike emulations that push beyond real instruments—think clarinets in impossible registers—plus 64 killer factory presets and 192 user slots with USB export. A few note the learning curve for deep tweaks, but that just unlocks endless expressive potential.
