EaganMatrix Micro

The power of EaganMatrix Sound Technology in our smallest product ever! The EaganMatrix Micro is a full-featured EaganMatrix sound engine in a small self-contained form factor, and is be powered and controlled via USB.

The EaganMatrix Micro is a perfect companion to the amazing Warbl Wind Controller. The fingering holes on the Warbl are not just switches. You can hear that the pitch starts off a bit as the finger gets close to the hole (like it would on an acoustic wind instrument) and hits the final pitch once the hole is covered. It’s a subtle effect but important. The following video shows 15 Presets from the Micro’s demo assortment that Edmund Eagan skillfully customized to take advantage of the Warbl’s specific sensing technology. In the future there may be demo assortments customized for the sensing technologies of other devices.

The Warbl’s wireless CME-WIDI Uhost connection in this video is shown in the EaganMatrix Micro Quick Start Guide.

Hundreds of System Presets are included with the EaganMatrix Micro. An external cross-platform (Mac and PC) Haken Editor may be connected to modify and customize the supplied EaganMatrix System Presets, or create completely new presets from scratch. More information on editing presets is available here.

The EaganMatrix Sound Technology, originally created for the highly sensitive Continuum, is now available to you in this compact form factor.

EAGANMATRIX Sound technology

The EaganMatrix is a modular digital synthesizer invented by Edmund Eagan, utilizing a DSP engine designed by Lippold Haken. This is the same EaganMatrix Sound Technology internal to the Continuum Fingerboard, the ContinuuMini, and Expressive E’s Osmose keyboard. The EaganMatrix allows the user to finely craft their musical sound by digitally connecting audio and control modules via a patching matrix. The EaganMatrix is a sophisticated digital modular patching world of its own, ready to interact with your MPE controllers. More information on the EaganMatrix here.
