Cypress touch technology and PSoC3 help build handheld synthesizer products

Cypress Semiconductor, the market leader in touch sensing, announced that music hardware maker KORG has selected PSoC3 programmable system-on-a-chip to create its new series of KAOSS PAD handheld synthesizer products. KORG's kaossilator 2 and mini kaoss pad 2 give users the freedom to create, make full use of the intuitive touchpad (intuiTIve touchpad) and slider control created by PSoC 3, and combine multi-level digital music into beautiful music. In addition to the touch control interface, the high flexibility and variety of the PSoC architecture enable the single-chip PSoC 3 solution to build a voltage sequence setting and signal conversion function for the screen of the KAOSS product. Functions are integrated.

The kaossilator 2 synthesizer and mini kaoss pad 2 use Cypress's industry-leading CapSense capacitive touch sensing technology to create a fast-responsive touchpad and slider, which is more efficient than the previous generation of KORG equipped with a resistive touch interface The product is greatly improved. The programmable digital logic function of PSoC 3 can drive the organic electroluminescence (OEL) cold-light screen mounted on the product, and no need to use central processing units (CPUs) to achieve the best performance.

Masato Mizuno, manager of the new series product department of KORG company KAOSS, said: "kaossilator 2 and mini kaoss pad 2 combine the world's best capacitive touch sensing technology and the most popular synthesizer to meet the accuracy and high response speed of musicians. Requirements, can create digital music anytime, anywhere. Using the high flexibility of PSoC 3, we can solve many design problems and greatly improve the performance and aesthetics of these dynamic synthesizers. "

Leon Tan, Marketing Director of Customer Solutions at Cypress, said: "KORG's KAOSS series products use the successful foundation of Apple iPhone and iPad to redefine the way musicians create and interact with music. We are pleased that KORG is using the top of PSoC 3 Capacitive touch technology, through its ability to handle countless other functions, effectively reduces the number of components and brings innovative synthesizers to the market.
