Based on piano samples recorded by our friend James Yates (Majetone) during a trip to Hungary, Magnetic|Duo takes the concept of sound evocation a step further. 

Each control on the Magnetic|Duo allows you to move further away from the classic piano sound we all know. Distortion, degradation, crushing, looping, stretching... all that's left of the piano is a distant memory, a reminiscence you can use in your own way.

In each instance, Magnetic|Duo evolves in a strange universe blending evocations of piano and various degrees of organic textures.

We thought it was essential to come up with an instrument that would be less power-hungry, while retaining its ability to produce rich, recognisable sounds.
If we had stopped there, the new instrument would have been a slimmed-down version of Subliminal Keys.
But in order to create Magnetic|Duo in the best possible conditions, we decided to start from scratch. Our new instrument works differently:
two distinct sources are mixed, each with a different flavour and specific signal processing, one with an electronic sound and the other with a tape-like feel. 

To help you choose between our two pianos and keyboards, here's a factual comparison.

While the two instruments are broadly in the same spirit of pianos/keyboards laden with grain and imperfections, they are not identical. 

Subliminal Keys is designed for creating textures based on the sounds of pianos/keys, while Magnetic|Duo is a performance insturment with textures.
