MacBeth MK1 Vortex (prototype) (15 min)

Here we have a demo of the Macbeth Mk1 VORTEX Desktop Analogue Synthesizer Module. For those who know the format- this is a 5U, 6 Space compact flat unit! It started out as the 'micromac'- an ambitious idea. This is a a complete **starter** modular synthesizer in a very small area. Anyway, well it's done. Here is a video of this thing. Personally I'm pleased- this small unit can provide the user with the sound of a big modular system- it's an entry point fot those wondering. The video content itself meanderders and only the die-hard will watch to the end! Some synth manufacturers give tiny examples of the sound of their gear- I tend to long drawn out stuff to give the potential user the feel of the instrument being used in a permance way. I'm rock and roll myself, so please excuse the personal feel to this thing! Please enjoy the 15 minutes of this one............Ken M

Thank you all for the comments on here- It's been a fun and exciting project so far! I'm hoping to get this out there for December!

@John- yes- really thinking about it- although folks seemed to like it- for me micromac was too close to micromoog.....which isn't fair on them! No- vortex has got a spacey feel to that I like.............almost EMS like in way that I can't work out!

[kebunator]

Wow, really really great sounding!! I want one too. Any idea when you're going to start shipping the units?

[TheHexeract]

I've been waiting for a synth like this. I'm really interested in knowing what the price will be (US) and when I can order one.

It sounds fab! I have a ton of question s that I will post when you get back from NAMM.

Brilliant demo Ken and what's more what fantastic sound this compact box of tricks makes. Job very well done indeed. Thanks

[DIGITALSCREAMS]

This synth has a real vintage vibe to it. I should imagine its because the components used are high quality but old school in design?

I like the fact you don't compromise on sound/build quality. It makes it worth owning.

wow !! is there a better life .. to do what you love ..

December! Hi Ken!

[LeoNacht]

Under 500 dollars?? : D the parts cost more.

[withaspoon94]

if you hit that under $500 mark this could be the new 'teen band' synth instead of the ems

[jonaswesterlund]

WANT.
