KHORLO — FACT SHEET
===================

One line
--------
A rhythm synthesizer that can quickly go from polite to bonkers.

Description
-----------
Khorlo is a rhythm synthesizer with eight strings and eight pluckers
arranged around a cylinder. Each plucker travels at its own speed,
sounding the strings it crosses. Change the speeds and string positions
to build evolving polyrhythms, weird atmospheres, basses, and a lot of
strange in between.

Play a MIDI note to start. Different exciter shapes and resonator types
create plucks, bells, drums, and sustained sounds. There's a 3D interface
you grab directly. It looks like nothing else because Aaron drew it
himself.

Khorlo is free and in open beta for macOS, Windows, and Linux. No account
or activation required.
