Developed with professional drummer Danny Carey of TOOL.
The Mandala™ helps you find your rhythm - whether it's the beat of a drum, or of a sound you haven't yet created. Use it as a compositional tool, or to create any sonic reality your heart desires.
It's got percussion sounds down cold - and that includes percussion instruments like the piano, the vibraphone and the triangle. Its range gives people a rich, satisfying way to experiment.
It literally will be a different product for everyone who buys it. It's the smartest thing you'll ever hit with a stick.
A new kind of synthesizer, the Mandala 2.0 packages a musical range so wide it simultaneously offers players the top of the line, most accurate model of a physical drum (via 3,000 professionally created, proprietary samples of the Black Beauty Snare Drum) - along with a library of sounds derived from more than 100 other instruments. In all, the Mandala 2.0 features four gigabytes of sound samples. It's a synthesizer with drumsticks, with a drum pad so sensitive it responds even to a fingertip touch.
Synesthesia Corporation
Synesthesia was formed in 1999 as a developer of electronic sensors used for the translation of human touch and movement into control signals for producing sound and light.
The company's initial core technologies are proprietary infrared light sensors, variable position touch sensors and microprocessor code which interfaces the sensors to circuitry used in creations ranging from musical instruments to computer peripherals.
Synesthesia also develops and sells products which use the company's sensor technology.
