Töörö Polyphonic Hybrid Desktop Synthesizer

Fred’s Lab Töörö

A six-voice, four-part hybrid desktop synthesizer, the Töörö from Fred’s Lab packs huge sound and customizability into a compact package. At its core are a pair of 12-bit wavetable oscillators that can be shaped with through-zero FM synthesis, ring modulation and auto-sync giving you the ability to create rich lows and icy highs. The character is further shaped by ‘virtual operators’ in the FM and sync architecture, as well the MS-10-inspired, FL A847 12dB/oct resonant analog filter. All parameters are accessible from the intuitive layout and can also be controlled via MIDI, and the internal memory can store 100 presents.

At 70x120mm (~2.75×4.75in) and the ability to be powered by a USB battery, this lightweight device is perfect to stow in a satchel for al fresco performance. Four mono voices can be output individually via two 1/8″ stereo outputs for external processing, or use the stereo 1/4″ outputs for a combined signal. It’s no wonder that the Kickstarter campaign wherein this originated was a resounding success, with features rich enough for any size studio coupled and an aluminum housing built for touring. Tuck this friend in your studio and count on Töörö to deliver your PPG Wave-esque dreams, and so much more.
