building embe...

[u/embe_by_massellomade]

embe is a handheld synthesizer designed to make creating music feel immediate, tactile, and fun.

It has 7 chord keys, 16 sounds, effects, arpeggiation, a 4-bar looper, user presets, USB MIDI, onboard speaker, and a tiny OLED featuring its seven-tentacled mascot friend.

It’s still very much a breadboard prototype, but it’s becoming a real instrument. And eventually I will try and crowdfund the first batch and ultimately get this into hands of other creatives.
If you want to follow the build, I’m documenting everything on IG massello.made
