The MOTOR Synth is based on a unique motor oscillator engine - it is a system of electro-motors that are able to instantly and precisely change their rotation speed in order to produce musical notes.

These motor oscillators can produce four distinct waveforms - sine, saw, square and the so-called M waveform. The M waveform is produced by a set of electromagnetic pickups that are placed next to each motor’s rotating inner coils. As the coils rotate the motor’s coils create electromagnetic fluctuations that can be amplified to produce a unique motor waveform.

The sine, saw and square waveforms are produced by a set of specially designed optical discs that are mounted to each motor’s shaft. Each motor misc has three “tracks” engraved onto its reflective surface. These “tracks” are designed as circular optical representation of the sine, saw and square waveforms.

Each reflective “track” is paired with a separate infra-red laser and sensor that picks up the reflected beam. As the disc rotates and brings the differently shaded areas in circular motion, the infra-red reflectivity sensor begins outputting a so-called “Optical Waveform” - a proprietary technology that Gamechanger developed specifically for the MOTOR Synth.
