N Y M P H E S

Nymph(e)s are chthonic demi-goddesses who not only personify nature but are regularly associated with the wild.
They inhabit rivers, springs, woods, groves, fields, caves, mountains and valleys.
They preside over fountains, sacred wells and fresh water.

The Polyphonic Synthesizer N Y M P H E S was developed during the obscure pandemic times and we really hope that it will bring a pinch of happiness on your face. We tried to condense an ambitious idea in a small and compact box, without any compromise in the quality of the final instrument.
The result is stunning and ethereal …

IMPORTANT NOTE:

True power consumption is at 310mA. Some computers cannot deliver that much current. Please make sure that your device has sufficient current for Nymphes before connecting it- otherwise if you want to connect it with a computer, you will need a USB splitter or a powered USB hub.

When using a USB adapter, always make sure it can deliver 1000mA or more.
