Man, the French synth companies, both big and small, are really killing it these days. Anyma, Expressive E, Kodamo, Arturia, and I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting…

And their electronic musicians are great, too.

It’s interesting to consider how design decisions are somewhat influenced by the culture of the country that a synth is developed in- also, Germans with all their efficacy etc., seem to at times really skimp on their manuals. At least that is my limited experience owning a the Flame Maander and a couple MFB boxes.
I need the Omega. Naow.

b…b…but : “she now uses Elektron machines exclusively.”
Great sound pack btw.
Now we also need @UserFriendly to make a sound pack and it will be like the two Elektron gods meeting each other.
Speaking about Aodyo, I totally understand they are really busy with this new synth, and I think it will be very very good, but it’s also a little annoying that they seem to let down their first great product, the Sylphyo. No update since ages.

Was true at the time that blurb was written - and Elektron Boxes are still the center of my setup

I really liked the Phi and this is probably the upcoming synth I’m most excited about but I guess I’ll see how it pans out upon release and start saving the Pennie’s. Great company and I love how they implement physical modeling.
Any word if this is the final design? It looks some piece of cardboard lying on top of it and is about to fly off …
(Of course that’s just looks and I am confident this thing will be amazing, but …)

Looks to me (total guesswork) like a fudge they had to make with the prototype (changing spec, miscalculation … ?). Looks ugly, and like something they would not take through to production.

In the English SFF interview, the Aodyo rep said there will be more transport buttons below the ones shown, the sequencer got upgraded as a stretch goal. The ribbon, is made of wood, and functionality changes and gets supplemented after this prototype more stretch goals, with the microphone on the strip too.
On the keyboard the microphone is on the wooden XY pad.
ADDED : The stretch goals were a huge bonus on this project.
This early prototype along with the keyboard have likely been hacked, to test the upgraded designs. You wouldn’t believe what early prototypes get to look like. If you flipped that cardboard, you’d see it’s from a pizza box.

does this hurt the hardware?
In the French video, he says that little things will change, it’s not the definitive design.

I was beginning to think that you might be guilty of hyperbole a bit there… but having watched the Synth Anatomy video and pored over details on their website and kickstarter page I’m starting to think that you could be right for a lot of use cases - and in particular my own. Sure, it won’t get into the hugely complex generative type patches of the G2, but for flexible and highly customisable synths I’m struggling to think of equivalents in the hardware world.
The screen, encoders, touch-strip, the modulation buttons, quick access to all 4 parts and other well considered shortcuts amount to an interface that is pretty much my ideal. The sound demos (and those of the Phi) also hit the spot. I’m pretty confident that by the time it gets to production model it’ll be night and day of an improvement from the early prototype we’re seeing here.
I’m doing NGNY this year, so I’ll be content to see the journey as it happens and I’m intersted to see all those stretch goals come to fruition. Crazy to think that the list of all the available module types linked to from the Kickstarter page doesn’t yet include any of the additional ones they’ve committed to as a stretch goal.

45… sound… sources. Just this is nuts in itself.
Not to mention the 43 effects… And the 46 modulators…
32 mappings of 16 modulators per voice…
When I read G2 in @Jukka’s post, something cracked in my brain, and the next minute I found myself clicking the “Get This Perk” button…
