Synthstrom Audible Deluge 128 RGB Pad Synthesizer & Sequencer Coming Soon

Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, Synthstrom Audible are on the verge of releasing their first product, Deluge. And this 12 RGB pad subtractive & FM synth and sequencer with built-in effects has certainly got our interest! 

For starters it looks like a Novation Circuit on steroids (and with sexy wood side panels). But when you start trawling through the specs is when the real excitement hits.

Aside from the list below there are precious few details available on Synthstrom’s Deluge. What we do know is you’ll be able to pre-order from Oct 25th, though pricing hasn’t been released yet either… Additionally they are holding a launch party in Auckland on Oct 22nd. Details HERE.
