This is the expansion on the moon family. Each of these devices has 2 sections - internal synth, and effects with many controls for each. The ability to cross synthesize opens an entire new realm of sound - where the internal synth triggers the effects section to generate waveforms beyond either's normal capabilities. Both sections become individual synthesizers. The Trans are incredible sample sources - where each could generate new sample possibilities for years. A couple players of these devices use ONLY these devices to generate samples. They are a vast source of soundscapes, but also occasionally chaotic, loud. Very enjoyable to play and completely amazing strictly as effects units. I considered them extremely expansive photo theremins of sorts.
