Reply To: Hohner Electra Melodica

Hi Melodica-Me,

So this instrument, the Hohner Electra, measures air pressure as you blow into it. Plus, triggering a note sends an electronic signal to a sound generator. The sound generator then uses the air pressure and note information, along with other electronic input or modulations (vibrato, octave setting, etc) to generate a sound.

Is it fair to say you have a very rare synthesizer that uses a melodica-based system for control?

Ah, I just read your last post and I see it is in fact a synth as you describe it. A really unique instrument.
