So I've been building a 100% analog polyphonic synthesizer with an unique twist. To use only vacuum tube era technology from the 1930s.

Over 300 neon gas diodes create the sound you hear. Pretty awesome for technology from 100 years ago.

Still a work-in-progress, but I wanted to post a video of it with the innards spread out across the workbench. : }

I call it the "Neon String Machine"

@AceArsenault Is there a module for transposition? I noticed the keys played half-tone-lowered notes.

@240185 You got a good Ear.

Yes. There is a central uniform pitch control and individual temperament controls for each 12 tones.

It was about -115 cents flat when I recorded the video. Didn't think anyone would pick up on it though. Since I wasn't playing with other instruments. : P
