Hybrid Synthesizer

 The Hybrid Synthesizer combines traditional forms of hardware and software synthesis into one package that makes use of modern technology to make a portable,  easy to control , flexible synthesizer for the budding musician. An android keyboard application connects  to the synthesizer wirelessly via Bluetooth, allowing the musician to play freely on stage via their phone or tablet’s touchscreen capability.  The user can select between traditional analog waveforms that can be mixed real-time via faceplate control knobs or choose to play one of several software  simulations of well-known orchestral instruments. The Hybrid Synthesizer is lightweight, easy to handle, and plugs into the wall via a traditional wall-wart  power brick, making it easy to work with in almost any setting.
