It’s all in EINKLANG

EINKLANG is a synthesizer following a complete new paradigm of sound generation. Instead of synthesizing sounds like traditional synthesizers according to a set of technical parameters (i.e. amplitudes, frequencies, spectra…), EINKLANG re-synthesizes sounds using instrument models. These instrument models can not only be tweaked directly in their musical parameters (i.e. loudness, pitch, timbre…) but also be morphed from one tone color to another. These key features allow the user to think in plain sounds rather than mathematical equations and to control EINKLANG with few but very powerful musical parameters.

The instrument models are based on Artificial Intelligence Studio Technology (AIST), an award winning, patent-pending technology that allows synthesizers to understand the structures of sounds, and remembers specific nuances of different instruments. So the musician can concentrate on musical aspects, while the synthesizer does all of the underlying technical processing.

EINKLANG’s graphical user interface

EINKLANG’s graphical user interface (GUI) stands out with its sleek and intuitive design. Located on the right side, you find the triangle morphing field. This remarkable feature empowers you to morph between three different tone colors, with ease. Located on the left side you find musical parameters for controlling the instrument models and the synthesized sounds. The parameters are arranged in three usefull groups: loudness, timbre and modulation. Every parameter can be controlled by MIDI and recorded in a DAW (e.g. Ableton Live, Steinberg Cubase/Nuendo, Apple Logic, and many others).

Morph Triangle

The morph triangle has three slots for tone colors, one in each corner. The colored gem inside the morph triangle can be moved around and determines the morph ratio for the three tone colors to form a new one. This is similar to a painter mixing a new color from three existing colors on his palette. When placed in one of the corners the corresponding tone color is heard solo. When slid along the sides of the triangle only two tone colors are morphed excluding the third one.

The morph triangle lets you morph seamlessly from one sound to another

Think Sound – Think Music

Morph a choir to a flute, or a guitar to a French horn, or anything you can imagine. For example, if you have a specific organ sound in mind, just take the 3 closest ones and morph around until you find your perfect personal setting. Without having to dig into organ draw bar theory. Or think of a synthesizer you really like the sound of but don’t want to learn all of its controls? Just take three sounds you like most and place them in each slot. Morph around, let EINKLANG’s engine take care of the specific synthesizer’s theoretical background. Find your very own sound and change it in real time while you play.

Re-inventing the triangle

The triangle in its unique simplicity can be divided into infinite self-similar sub-shapes. Important points in the morphing relation between different tone colors can be represented in distinctive geometrical positions. The triangle is the only geometric shape that allows you to morph three tone colors in any ratio. Other more complex shapes and approaches fail to achieve this and only produce a sound mess in their mid-position.

Different sounds create different colors

EINKLANG is the first synthesizer to introduce a strong synesthetic link between sound and color. It enables you to morph one sound into any other, just as white light is able to travel through the entire color spectrum in additive color synthesis. While using the morphing field, all GUI controls adapt in color. When you morph three tone colors together as one, everything is illuminated in pure white. It's all in EINKLANG.

The morph triangle changes color while morphing

Musical Parameters

The Artificial Intelligence Studio Technology used in EINKLANG’s instrument models is capable of understanding the structures of sounds, and remembering specific nuances of different instruments. This enables you to change them more realistically. E.g. lowering the pitch of a cello affects its timbre completely differently than lowering the pitch of a French horn. EINKLANG’s instrument models are not static, as you may know examples from traditional synthesizers or samplers, but very lively and responsive to pitch and velocity changes on your keyboard.

Powerful musical parameters let you change the instrument’s sound

Timbre

EINKLANG lets you individually tweak any of the created sounds in terms of their musical qualities. Change the Harmonicity of any harmonic sound. Turn a choir singing, into a choir whispering or transform a woodwind sound into a waterfall. Detune your electric piano by turning up the Dissonance, giving it a classic honky tonk effect. You can even detune a single string of a cello in itself, meaning: detuning its overtones - something physically impossible for monophonic one-dimensional resonators such as a single string.

Loudness and Modulation

Even EINKLANGs parameters that seem familiar to you, like the Loudness envelope and the Modulation section, affect the sounds in greater depth than you would expect, thanks to EINKLANGs powerful AIST engine.

Take your string sound and make it pizzicato, by turning up the Percussion. Increase the Modulation of your sound. EINKLANG's engine knows and applies the natural ratio of vibrato and tremolo for each sound, while traditional synthesizers just throw an LFO onto the signal's frequency and amplitude.

Generally speaking, what takes dozens of technical knobs in traditional synthesizers can be done with one in EINKLANG.

AIST – Artificial Intelligence Studio Technology

EINKLANG is powered by Eisenberg’s patent-pending and award-winning core technology AIST. For each instrument model the AIST engine analyzes dozens of sounds. Each sound is transformed into a sound model consisting of thousands of continuous parameters. At this stage each sound can be thought of as being produced by a modular synthesizer with thousands of automated knobs. The Artificial Intelligence learns the sound’s musical parameters such as duration, pitch, timbre, loudness, formants, modulation, harmonicity, dissonance and more. These musical parameters can be edited directly by the user with more natural sounding results. Different models can be morphed into each other and are time/pitch independent - the length of a sound can be controlled independently from its pitch. Changes in pitch can automatically remain stable and realistic in their formant structure.

AIST – Technology that thinks

We do the Math – You do the Music!

While the AIST remains invisible for the musician, it simplifies the work processes of music production. It makes creating and editing sounds intuitive and approachable, and significantly enriches the user with new creative possibilities.

What is the Funding for?

EINKLANG’s release is planned for December. With support coming from funding programs of the European Union and the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, the stand-alone beta version for Mac OS and Windows has been finished. It can be downloaded here. We are now finishing the last minor issues and adapting the plug-in versions for VST, AU, and RTAS/AAX.

What lies ahead is a beta phase with structured testing for all different platforms as well as a professional sound design together with our featured artists. Further development effort goes into building an installer and setting up a copy protection.

Every raised dollar goes into the further development and improvement of EINKLANG and speeds up these last development steps. Please support our campaign and pre-order your version of EINKLANG today.

Who we are

We are a young Berlin-based team with a mutual passion for developing software synthesizers and audio effects (FXs) for professional and home studio use.

Having previously formed a core part of the world’s market leader in software synthesizers, we now aim to truly break new ground with the AIST and EINKLANG.
