“Manon had a 360 degreee command of Product that really set him apart from other managers and strategists. He not only had an intricate technical knowledge of the products he was building but also an intuitive sense of their place in the market and (this was music technology) the culture. He showed every day that being a good product director is about far more than knowing the tech specs. His charisma and team spirit also made him a delight to work with, all the more so in the challenging times our tech startup faced as we scaled at breakneck speed.”

The world’s first cross-platform multidimensional synth engine.
Over the last several years, a range of electronic musical instruments and controllers have been
released that are beginning to bridge the gap between the expressiveness of acoustic sound and the
versatility of digital music creation. The Haken Continuum, the Eigenharp, the Soundplane and the
Linnstrument are all examples of a new category of multidimensional instruments, each enabling

Over the last several years, a range of electronic musical instruments and controllers have been
released that are beginning to bridge the gap between the expressiveness of acoustic sound and the
versatility of digital music creation. The Haken Continuum, the Eigenharp, the Soundplane and the
Linnstrument are all examples of a new category of multidimensional instruments, each enabling
multiple parameters to be controlled polyphonically on a per-note basis.
Equator builds on these innovations, offering for the first time ever a synth engine that has been
designed from the ground up to enable multidimensional sound design which can run identical sounds
as a standalone OS X application, as a plugin for a suite of industry-standard DAWs, and also on-board Seaboard GRAND.Other creators -
