Скачать или смотреть Paul Vo on Acoustic Synthesis & the Vo 96 Guitar

When we have covered the Vo-96 Guitar on Synthtopia, readers' comments have focused on 'infinite sustain' as the key feature, and compared the Vo Guitar's technology to other sustain technologies.

But inventor Paul Vo's vision for 'acoustic synthesis' is much deeper than infinite sustain.

Vo wants to give musicians the same type of control over the sounds they generate with acoustic instruments that electronic synthesizers offer - the ability to control the amplitude of the individual harmonics of a sound over time.

In this informal video, filmed at his home office in Asheville, NC,, Paul Vo explains how acoustic synthesis works, gives some technical demonstrations using the VO-96 Guitar, and shows how the capabilities offered by acoustic synthesis open up new performance options for musicians.
