EaganMatrix Micro

Imagine squeezing the legendary EaganMatrix sound engine—straight from the Continuum Fingerboard and Osmose—into a palm-sized box that weighs just 75 grams. This micro desktop synth delivers that same modular magic in a format small enough to tuck into your gig bag, powered entirely over USB-C for ultimate portability.

At its core, you'll find five flexible summation oscillators with precise frequency, phase, and spectral balance controls, paired with five multimode filters, five independent Shape Generators for ramps, pulses, and more, smooth noise sources, and two bi-quad filter banks that double as granular or additive modules. It runs up to eight voices of polyphony across FM, physical modeling, additive, subtractive, and beyond, all patched via the intuitive EaganMatrix modular system using the free cross-platform Haken Editor. Hands-on, a seven-segment display handles preset and octave selection with simple buttons, while 3.5mm TRS stereo out, EXT port for pedals or CV, and USB MIDI bring full MPE compatibility to life—no knobs needed, just plug in your controller and go. Measuring a tiny 113 x 58 x 19 mm, it ships with hundreds of factory presets ready to explore.

Early users are buzzing about its organic responsiveness with MPE gear like wind controllers, praising the depth without the bulk, though some note it shines brightest when paired with an external MIDI source for tweaking.
