FLUX brings the musicality and expression of classical instruments, such as the violin or the human voice, enriched with new timbres and the flexibility of postmodern instruments, harnessing the power of modern technology.

FLUX is a high-end professional synthesizer with unique expressive possibilities, an innovative interface design, and top-quality digital-to-analog converters, along with analog components.

FLUX features a continuous touchless keyboard, allowing for fluid, unquantized control of multiple sound parameters.

In many respects, FLUX is inspired by the Theremin, offering the unique possibility of controlling sound by moving your hands in the air without touching any object, giving performances a special plasticity and beauty.

Unlike the Theremin, which operates through capacitive coupling between the hands and the antennas, FLUX is based on magnetic principles. Two magnetic arches are held between the fingers, and the interface is a multipolar magnetic sensor that detects their positions and movements. The X coordinate of the right-hand arch controls the pitch, while the Z coordinate controls the volume. The X, Y, and Z coordinates of the left-hand arch control various synthesis parameters.

Just as a magnet has two poles, FLUX detects not only the spatial coordinates of the arches but also their angle. This means that rotating the right-hand arch around the Y-axis changes the octave, allowing a range of six continuous octaves without the need for transposition. With transposition, the range extends from sub-bass to ultrasonic frequencies. The left-right tilt of the right arch around the X-axis controls two independent modulation parameters.

The left-hand arch controls the timbres. Its timbre sensor, located on the left side, has six poles and independently records the positive and negative magnetic fields. This allows you to change which parameters are controlled by rotating the arch, offering up to twelve independent sound parameters. Combined with the pitch, volume, and two additional tilt parameters of the right arch, this provides a total of sixteen sound controls accessible during performance without touching the surface of the instrument.

In short, FLUX is the most direct and immediate way to manipulate multiple synthesis parameters musically, allowing for dynamic timbral composition. Different synthesis algorithms (engines) will be developed as complete instruments for direct timbral control. All engines will be available in a single firmware and can be activated in a fraction of a second. Presets will allow you to save and recall the complete state of the synthesizer, including the engine and all its settings.

We developed FLUX with the goal of creating a modern instrument for academic music, offering advanced sound tools such as distortion, complex FM, and physical modeling of non-existent and surreal musical instruments. We invite contemporary performers and composers to incorporate FLUX into their works.

FLUX can operate in monophonic, duophonic, and polyphonic modes. It features quantization and staccato activation modes. The quantization function includes a vibrato adjustment parameter. FLUX offers a stable, uniform, and clearly marked scale of notes, making it easier to learn and enabling precise intonation compared to the Theremin.

FLUX synthesis is based on DSP and incorporates built-in spatial effects. Its digital-to-analog converters and analog circuits have been designed in-house following Hi-End principles.
