Erica Synths Steampipe is a unique physical modeling synthesizer that replicates the sound generation process characteristic of wind instruments. Developed in collaboration with the Dutch company 112.dB, this synthesizer does not rely on traditional oscillators, making it an exceptional tool for creating diverse soundscapes—from wind instruments and strings to organs and extraordinary spatial effects. The device features three main sections—STEAM, PIPE, and REVERBERATOR—that enable the creation of sounds with rich depth and an organic structure.
Erica Synths Steampipe is optimized for use with MIDI controllers designed for wind instruments but also works seamlessly with standard MIDI keyboards. Thanks to its advanced physical modeling and sound manipulation capabilities, this synthesizer allows users to craft anything from delicate, almost ethereal tones to monumental and industrial soundscapes.
