Eowave Eobody2 USB8 SensorBox - Manual (Page 4)

Who’s Who
« eowave was founded in 2002. Since 1998, we have designed our first products under the name
of More Electronic Sounds. We have started with the development of software and on hardware
design of analogue machines and midi tools. There is not such a big gap between developing soft-
ware and hardware: both are a subjective representation of the definition of the sound process. I
really enjoyed developing iSynth. With the Essential Instruments from Cycling’74’s Pluggo 3, each
module is dedicated to a special synthesis: granular, additive synthesis, FM, an analogue model-
ing synth or a wavetable synth… I have tried to extract the essential of synthesis, starting all over
again with fundamental questions: «what’s an FM synthesis & how should it be concretized?»
Now, some analogue effects I have designed - the little analogue effects called the «bugs» for
example - can be viewed as some kinds of hardware Essential Instruments. Several little boxes,
each representing an effect, a multimodal filter, a ring modulator, a phaser or a sequencer. Several
little boxes any musician can use to add an analogue feeling to his music… Several easy-to-use
little boxes which can be used alone or assembled to create new sounds. But aside the search
for new tools, and new ways of expression is a real quest among unknown dimensions. The world
of synthesis is immense, while the world of expression has no limits. At this frontier comes the
Eobody2 an ideal intermediate between the external audio and video environment and artist, the
essentiel bridge linking the world of analogue sensors to the world of digital process.”
