Labyrinth, a semi-modular instrument and idea machine, discovers patterns, layers, and textures both familiar and unheard. Two generative sequencers bring to life sounds that bloom over time, letting you control their evolution and scale, then play them off of each other for striking polymetric melodies. With parallel analog signal paths, this unique instrument shines when adding color to the static backdrop of a drum pattern or bassline. Fully capable of standing on its own, or adding depth to your existing rack, it’s equally at home in a live set or at the center of a humble bedroom studio. Labyrinth is the lightning in a bottle that drives a studio session deeper into undiscovered creative caverns.
The beating heart of Labyrinth is a robust dual sequencer, which uses chance operations to construct two unique eight-step paths which twist and curve around each other, forming a mesmerizing path of sound. With a comprehensive patch bay, Labyrinth can be synced via analog clock or MIDI while processing, directing, and being influenced by other kit.
Tune your instruments together and let Labyrinth improvise alongside in key while you play Matriarch. Patch Labyrinth and Spectravox together for animated spectral movement. Combine Labyrinth with Mavis in a 104HP rack for expanded modularity. These are just a handful of many playful setups where Labyrinth fits. Whichever path you choose, have Labyrinth guide you.
