About LOVE Synthesizers
LOVE Synthesizers was founded in 2023 by Kári Halldórsson after experimenting with building a digital hardware FM synthesizer with intuitive touch-screen graphics controls, combined with hardware buttons and knobs. Kári and a team of synthesizer lovers have since then developed a multitimbral stand-alone composer synthesizer called FIRST LOVE, building on those original ideas but taking them much further.
