Tocante Studworth Thyris

Crafted by hand from the first cuts of wood by Peter Blasser in the Berlin Woodshop. This limited line of 1 of a kind Tocante Studworth was cut, painted by Blasser Himself. The larch is the wood he selected for the first cuts on the new machines he set up in berlin. This one of a kind Bistab has a unique scale only to it and no other. It comes with a full 2 year manufacture warranty, and official PSU.

The Tocante Thyris is a triangle Wave analog Synthesizer with 24 voices developed by Peter Blasser of Ciat Lonbarde. This special version of the Thyris allows for pulse width modulation effects with the glitch points.

The metal notes can be touched as well for glitching and vca effects of the individual voices.

The unit has an internal rechargeable battery that is charged via the solar panel in the sun. It can also be powered by an included 12v universal power supply.

There is a mono output to plug into a PA system, amp, pedals or mixer.

“The Tocante line of musical instruments is "about" and "touching" the materials of electronics. Each touchpad represents a pitch according to industry "preferred numbers," chosen by old wartime engineers for non-musical purposes. Here they form a unique and haunting musical scale, not unlike that of a gamelan or the neutral intervals of Persian music. Beyond these base pitches, three golden sandrodes flank each touchpad; touching these androgynous nodes yields intermodulation, pitch and timbral shifts, and emergent chaotic masses. The instruments come in three flavors: thyris the triangle, bistab the square, and phashi the circle. The oscillators sound like a bowed string, a most powerful clarinet, and a howling serene whistle, respectively. Each responds to touch differently. Solar panels charge the onboard batteries, that power the oscillators and a speaker. They are the perfect self-contained instrument for nightly music at the campground.” -Peter Blasser
