HEX cor – polyphonic synthesizer

The instrument is supported by a hexagonal wooden base attached to the bottom of the printed circuit board that functions as a user interface, eliminating the need for a casing or mechanical keys. It is played by touching the capacitive pads and features five potentiometers for signal modulation, an adaptable looper, and a recording button. It can be combined with different instruments and is easy to carry around. Available assembled or as a DIY kit, it serves as an excellent introduction to making electronic instruments. Through creative workshops with community-based iterative development it has grown into an internationally acclaimed and commercially successful product.
