Erica Synths x 112db STEAMPIPE sound demo

Introducing the Steampipe: an 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer like no other. Developed in collaboration with 112dB.com, Steampipe uses physical modeling to mimic the rich, organic overtones of wind and string instruments. It is a versatile tool for nuanced sound design, conjuring sonic imagery ranging from wisps of cloud to fairground band organs, industrial horns of the railroad and massive, otherworldly ambiences.
