The Steampipe is an 8-voice polyphonic synthesiser with no conventional oscillators. Instead, it mimics the way sound is created in wind and string instruments and is fine-tuned to create a wide range of sounds. The Steampipe is optimised for performance with wind MIDI controllers and it works great with any MIDI keyboard. The overtones the Steampipe produces are very organic and rich. It also comes with awesome presets.
The Steampipe is very versatile and allows for nuanced sonic exploration, conjuring sonic imagery ranging from from wisps of cloud to fairground band organs, then to industrial horns of the railroad and finally, to massive, otherworldly ambience. Due to detailed controls over multiple physical modelling parameters, the Steampipe is capable of generating very organic emulations of real instruments, but it goes well beyond the conventional pitch and dynamic ranges they can produce – imagine how a flute or clarinet would sound in C1 or C7!
