XT Synth-The expression of a violin, the playability of a guitar, with the power of a MIDI controller that shines.
“The XT Synth is a mix of guitar, violin and midi controller. My inspiration was to make an instrument that could be played like a guitar, with the expression of a violin, with the sounds of a synthesizer. The neck has 4 soft potentiometers that can be played similar to
an string instrument. They can be tuned however the player wants. Because instead of strings it has softpots , the instrument is not tempered, like a violin, allowing vibratos, portamentos, and microtones.”The XT Synth was a finalist at the Guthman New Instrument Competition 2018.
