Greetings, Earthlings! The softPop, a mysterious little device, has arrived to captivate your mind and abduct your heart. As a playfully organic, semi-modular light and sound synthesizer, it provides a wide variety of expression, from chaotic dripping water pops, through alien droning, all the way to heavy subtractive basslines.
Its fully analog core consists of a strongly feedbacked system of dual triangle-core oscillators, a state-variable filter, and sample and hold, and it can be played through an intuitive, ergonomic interface of 6 faders that provide countless combinations for anyone to explore.
The softPop is first and foremost a wild beast. “If you want a synth that would just behave itself, this isn’t for you. [... if] I look at its purpose, which is portable madness in a box, SoftPop is a very interesting portable music companion that will keep a curious mind busy,” concurs Ask.Audio’s reviewer Hollin Jones.
