NEWS UPDATE: The second batch of 25 pre-production units are nearing completion and am now taking pre-orders for delivery in June. A new Patch Editor/Librarian App & VST/AU plugin with full automation has also been developed complete with a new library of over 250 sound patches for Win/Mac/Linux and will be free to all Elfin-04 and 01 owners.

Any questions, please PM me here on S/C or to EF86 on GearSpace.

Introducing Elfin-04, Hideaway Studio's Compact New 4-Voice Polysynth...
 
I have been working round the clock for weeks now on my dinky little 8-bit 4-Voice (4 x [2osc+1sub+LFO]) VA Poly Expander with 1960's style transformer-mixed output voicing and finally No's.000 thru 010 are born to the world and receiving very positive feedback from their new owners...... this 4-voice polysynth measuring just 16x12x3cm has full real-time control over her 32 parameters via simple midi ccs and 16 built-in patches. 

Based on an expanded form of a customized software synth-core design by ISGK in Japan, I think the Elfin-04's unique voice ouput/mixing transformers do add something for sure - they are driven full-swing with 60KHz PWM resulting in a lot of additional harmonics/mirror frequencies and some saturation that all gets trapped within the transformers which adds a richness/darkness to the sound (no-doubt inspired in part by my beloved DK Synergy). In the Elfin-04, the 4 voices are passively mixed but, unusually, by the topology of the output-transformers themselves which is a trick that used to be found in some more exotic 1960s valve test equipment where multiple signal outputs were mixed on isolated outputs (eg. my huge old Panoramic TTG-2 tube Dual Sinewave Generator). Also, each voice CPU is independently clocked so everything is genuinely free-wheeling across the voices so even the noise phases slowly when played on multiple notes and unison which is pretty cool.

Green.washer (Paul Servain) est un producteur de musique électronique basé à Montpellier (France). 

Fasciné par l’énergie créatrice et la variété d’idées qui existe dans la musique, il aime l’hybridation des styles et souhaite communiquer cette passion en faisant danser les corps et les esprits. Ses créations, influencées par l'electro des années 90's, comme de la tekno des free parties d'aujourd'hui, lévitent entre braindance, ambient et techno.

Avec Aphex Twin comme principale influence, ses créations non-conventionnelles attirent l’attention du label allemand mindcolormusic en 2021, qui pressera son titre « gvsm » sur vinyle.

Membre actif du « colorsquad », il contribue également depuis 2020 aux compilations biannuelles de « colorsquad records», orientées idm / braindance / ambient.

Il a sorti en janvier 2025 son premier EP sur le label Obliqu3, dont les musiques ont été composées avec l'envie de créer un univers unique pour chaque création, sans s'attacher à un style particulier.
