Rebel Technology has launched a new Kickstarter project to fund production of the Magus line of programmable synthesizers.

The Magus is based on the Rebel Technology OpenWare firmware and can run the same patch programs as the OWL Pedal and OWL Modular. This means that a library of more than 200 patch programs is already available for the platform, including patches based on granular, additive, FM, subtractive, spectral, chaotic and stochastic synthesis.

You can also create your own patches, using Max Gen, Pure data, FAUST or C++.

Several hardware options are available, ranging from the £90 Alchemist Microsynth to the £430 or more Magus Eurorack Edition. See the project site for details.
