Luminth Kickstarter Launches Thursday, May 16, 2013

The Luminth is a minimalist USB control peripheral. To use the Luminth, simply click, turn, and push+turn. The Luminth changes color with the music.

Luminth Orbiter is a generative music software application. Make dramatic changes to the music with a single click. Dive deeper to make refined, subtle adjustments. Or, let Orbiter work autonomously to create music that morphs over time.

The Luminth is the best way to control Luminth Orbiter software, but Orbiter is fully functional with or without the Luminth.

The Luminth and Luminth Orbiter will be available for purchase at 12:01AM EST on Thursday, May 16. Check nthsynth.com on Thursday for a link to the Kickstarter project page and purchasing information.

Shipped.

We shipped the NTH and NTH PCB Kickstarter rewards between July 23 and July 31. The t-shirt rewards were shipped on August 1.

There are still four unclaimed NTH PCB rewards. We can’t ship them because we have not received a backer survey or shipping address from the backer. If you purchased an NTH PCB but have not received a shipment notice from us, please contact us as soon as possible.

We have uploaded the backer list and NTH Design Source Package for public download. The design source package contains all of the files needed to build an NTH from scratch.

If you haven’t already, please join the NTH Google Group. This is the best place to discuss the NTH and share NTH-related tracks and video.

Finally, special thanks to NTH backer Mike M. for sharing a video of the youngest NTHesist to date:

Thanks again for backing the NTH. Thanks for reading…
