It features a camera and light table, which can be used to capture images that are translated into sound. It can also use photographs and videos as sources.<\/p>\n<p>The source visuals are shown on a display, where you can select the area that is used to generate audio waves. You can manipulate and modulate the visual in order to change the resulting sound. You can also use tools like LFO&#8217;s and effects to create more complex sounds.<\/p>\n<p>The Silhouette Eins also lets you output the display, so you can project the visuals that are generating the sound.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Live camera and light table<\/li>\n<li>1 optical soundtrack oscillator<\/li>\n<li>4 voices<\/li>\n<li>5 modulation waves<\/li>\n<li>7 modulation driver sources (LFOs, EGs, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>18 modulation addresses<\/li>\n<li>Screen record<\/li>\n<li>Reverb<\/li>\n<li>Users can add their own content pictures and movies<\/li>\n<li>Trackpad to move area and for edit functions<\/li>\n<li>37 full-size keyboard<\/li>\n<li>Stereo output linkable to area position<\/li>\n<li>Video output for audiovisual performance<\/li>\n<li>External connections via MIDI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Audio Demos:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Silhouette eins - optical soundtrack synthesizer by silhouette-synthesizer\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F1308040900&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;maxwidth=900\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Silhouette Eins<\/strong> is in development &amp; the demo video was created with prototype #1.\u00a0 Przygodda plans on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superbooth.com\/de\/plan.html?location=o270\">debuting<\/a> the synthesizer at Superbooth 2021, scheduled for Sept 15-18 in Berlin.
