This recently caught my eye and I was surprised to see a lack of discussion/external info about this upcoming synth. It reminds me slightly of Eowave's Persephone, which I attempted to buy several years ago but at the time the wait would have been too long. Lately I was thinking about possibly getting the improved Persephone II, then I found the ET-4 which is somewhat less pricey, has a built in spring reverb and uses the ring controller from the Ondes Martenot

I would really enjoy both, but I'm currently leaning more towards the Therevox, although the duo phonic and MIDI enabled features of the Persephone II would be nice... anyway, I thought perhaps a few of you might also find this interesting and perhaps have more info to share while I make up my mind over the next month.


ET-4 ~ FEATURES AND SPECS

three octave continuous-pitch controller with CV output (1V/oct)
two pressure-sensitive keys for oscillator amplitude with CV outputs
two analog oscillators with 6 waveforms including sine, triangle, rectified-sine (similar to "octiviant" on the Ondes Martenot), 50% square, 30% square, 10% square (or white noise on oscillator 2)
6 octave settings for each oscillator
oscillator sync
low-pass filter with cutoff control via knob and external expression pedal
spring reverb
silent tuner output with oscillator selector
110/120V or 220/240V

$1199 USD + worldwide shipping, scheduled to ship by January 2012

That looks really interesting.

With the reverb it seems capable of producing some really haunting sounds, plus the pressure sensitive amplitude keys are an excellent idea I think.

First I've heard about it. Price is very good, too.

I have to say that I wouldn't find enough use for an instrument like this, though.
