Folktek Resonant Garden Electro-Accoustic Insturment 2020 - Gold

Gold edition. Extremely fun to use standalone or as an effects processor for external instruments. Used in a smoke-free environment.

The Resonant Garden is an electronic-acoustic hybrid instrument designed to create anything from beats and oddities to dense sound scapes. The garden utilizes three Alter circuits each equipped with a mic pre-amp, and 4 sprout (stringed) panels for generating acoustics. By plucking, rubbing, tapping or even bowing, those micro-acoustic sounds become amplified and affected by the Alter in any number of ways. In essence, the garden is a large microphone designed to pick up vibrations. It's such a fun piece of engineering and great instrument.
