Modern Sounds Releases Pluto, a Two-Voice Mini-Modular Synth

Pluto, a new two-voice, small-format mini-modular synthesiser from Modern Sounds, has now been made available.

Here’s what Modern Sound have to say about it:

“Pluto is compact and portable, with abilities that belie its small size. Five channels of modulation (named for the five moons of Pluto), two voices, two sequencers, a mini-keyboard, and onboard effects make Pluto its own complete sound environment, but it can happily play with all your other gear.

The design draws from a legacy of portable electronic instruments, from the Buchla Music Easel to 80s Casio synthesizers. With a focused, approachable interface, Pluto invites exploration.”
