FM1_IGLOO_OSR

• Each place you reach wakes the synth up in its own way, so walking is how you change the music.
• The synth voice holds subtractive, FM and plucked engines, a rhythm sequencer and a kick with sidechain.
• ENV switches the instrument between synth, kalimba and ice flute, and SCL changes the chord grid.
• K1 to K4 set the levels of the wind, the drone, the steps and the synth.
• EDIT, PLAY, SEQ and REC walk you in four directions, LFO is the action button and HOME takes you back.
• ALGORITHM sets the sky to a day and night cycle or a fixed sky, and PRESET picks the sound.
• A quest runs through it with a captain's journal, a lighthouse to relight, an ice flute, ten outfits and nine radio tapes.

Its modes

The walk

You cross a thirty by thirty ice field with Obsimo and the dog Seito, through day and night, while wind, drone and footsteps make the music.

The igloo

You go back home, where the synth lives.

Fishing

You fish at a hole that bites on the beat.

The ice cave

You play a cave of tuned icicles.

The forest

You brush pines that ring as you pass.

The lighthouse

You turn the lighthouse by playing.

The ice rink

You glide across the ice instead of walking.
