Lyricon by Computone

Ok hier ff wat info over iets aparts:

The Lyricon I (patented) introduces to electronic music the prime dimension.... expression. It is the first totally expressive electronic wind instrument ever conceived or developed. The Lyricon I is totally electronic, employing the most advanced techniques in solid-state electronic design. In one superbly crafted instrument, the Lyricon I blends the nuances of expression characteristic of acoustic instruments with the vibrant dynamics of the synthesizer.

The Lyricon I is truly a new musicial instrument.....capable of sounds and expression unobtanable with any other instrument. By adding harmonics (similar to drawbars of an organ) sophisticated and subtle timbres can be realized.... al controllable by a familiar combination of wind and lip preasure. Some of the unusual features of the Lyricon I are: a six ocatave range, continuously-tunable pitch control, perfect intonation, lightning-swift key action, an instant "transposing" control, and many more.

The Lyricon I is virtualy mainenance free......no leaky pads, active reeds, or complex mechanical linkages to contend with. It may be played using earphones for privacy or direct recording, or trough any convetional high quality amplifier for performances. Compact and lightweight, Lyricon I is the ultimate Wind synthesizer.

Lyricon II is an exciting new musical instrument that unites the unpralleled control of the Lyricon with the colroful sound of dynamics of the synthesizer. Lyricon II is a complete system consisting of the Lyricon body (contrl system) and a specially designed two oscilator synthesizer contained in a combination console/carrying case.

The Lyricon II body generates three control signals: one from lip motion, a second from changes in wind pressure and attack, and a third from changes in finger position. (Since lyricon II is totally electronic, no pitch to voltage converters are requires.) All three singals are used simultaneously to control sounds avaible from the synthesizer console. The Lyricon II synthesizer console contains two "rock stable" voltage-controlled oscilators, a special voltage controlled fileter, a low frequence oscilator, and an ascessory patch section.
Unique of the Lyricon II player is the ability to augment or dimish two-note chords by embouchure alone - making variable two-note chord progressions possible. Filter effects may be controlled simultaneously with either wind pressure/attack or lip motion. The accessory patch connector will accommodate additional synthesizer modules expanding Lyricon II to unlimited capabilty. Light sytems,, laser controllers - any systems compatible with DC voltage control may also be driven simulateneously from the body using the accesory patch output.

Lyricon II offers the same depth of expression, and sensitivity to style, musicans are now enjoying with the lyricon I and the Wind syhtesizer Driver.

The WInd Synthesizer Driver is designed to control any synthesizer however modest or complex it might be

Unlike synthesizer keyboards, the Driver allows you the same subtleties of muscial expression and style afforded by acoustic musical instruments. This degree of musical expression and control is virtualy impossible to duplicate with keyboard synthesizers regardless of the number of footpedals, attacments or special patches ioncorporated.

The instrument body (controller) of the Wind Synthesizer Driver resembles a soprano saxophone both in appearance and fingering. Three control signals are generated by the controller: the first from lip motion; the second from changes in wind pressure and wind attack; and the third from changes in finger position. The Wind Synthesizer Driver Console modifies the three control signals so as to be compatible with conventional keyboard synthesizers and provides output jacks and sitching patching purposes.

With jus as simple patch to a synthesizer of limited capability, the musican with the Wind Synthesizer Driver is avle to create a sensitive and expressive musical performance at alvel equal to his or her talent and imagination.
