Love Synthesizers has opened pre-orders for First Love, a new standalone FM synthesizer priced at $699, according to a report by Synthtopia. This product launch introduces a hardware solution designed to make frequency modulation synthesis more accessible to musicians through a combination of touchscreen interfaces and tactile controls. The manufacturer states the sound engine supports four simultaneous timbres with both polyphonic and monophonic capabilities.
Key features include custom FM connections, wave shaping, morphing envelopes, and extensive modulation routing. The unit also integrates tools for microtonal tuning, a riff-based arpeggiator, and a 4×4 live looper with MIDI arrangement functions. For connectivity, the instrument offers USB-C, DIN5 MIDI, and wireless Bluetooth options. Physical specifications include stereo line outputs, four mono output routings, built-in speakers, and optional power via four 18650 lithium-ion batteries. Built-in effects cover reverb, delay, chorus, bit-crushing, and flanging. The source confirms the device is a standalone electronic instrument combining these synthesis tools with live performance looping and arrangement functions in a single package for users seeking an understandable approach to complex sound design without needing external computers or modules.
