The Tocante Studworth Lacquered Larch Edition is a 24 voice polyphonic analog synthesizer custom tuned by Peter Blasser and Patch Point.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmh0IW_kmrU&t=19sEach one has it’s own tuning, and is totally unique to your instrument.

The wood of these instruments is the first wood selected and cut in Berlin by Peter.

This Beautiful 1 of a kind Tocante Studworth is Hand Painted.

Thyris is a trangle wave based synthesizer with 24 keys and touch points for effecting the timber, pitch and glitch of the keys.

All capacitors are hand selected for tuning, and the scales will be yours and yours only.

These are built in Patch Point during the parts shortage part of the corona pandemic. We took the opportunity to make a unique series in the through hole realm of Ciat-Lonbarde.

Hand Built, Unique, and full 2 year Warranty.

The Internal Battery can be charged by the sun.

You can also run it with the included PSU.

“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
