Ginko Synthese - Magma
Product information "Ginko Synthese - Magma"
Magma is a 10HP Eurorack compressor with novel circuitry and a classic sound.
The Magma uses feedforward diode-bridge compression which gives it a unique character. The Magma excels in providing punch, and can pump hard when set to extreme settings.
The interface is easy to control and designed for live performance – it’s easy to change the entire groove with just a few controls. The glass orb lights up like hot lava and visualizes the amount of compression being applied.
Sculpt your sound in even more detail with the cv and audio side chain inputs. The Magma aims to make compression both creative and fun!
DIY-Kit-Type:
THT-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. Only trough-hole parts to solder. Make sure to check the build guide before you buy. For build guide, more info, videos etc. please check the buttons below.

Manufacturer "Ginko Synthese"
My name is Jan Willem Hagenbeek and I am the driving force behind Ginkosynthese.
As an electronic musician I have firsthand experience with the gap between the feel of playing live on stage and the more controlled environment when working in the studio for productions. Therefore all of my products are designed with a focus on the immediacy of live performance, but of course they can be easily integrated into a studio environment.
Although I am a graduated architect I now only design and build musical instruments and cases. My first music creation steps were made in 1992 when using my parents computer. I started to experiment with sounds and trackers trying to make music which was not easy to put in a certain style. From there I started to experiment with circuit bending and modding which resulted in a range of live acts from 2004 in collaboration with several other musicians and visual artists. My first live solo project (2004) on stage was an atari-controlled orchestra of electronic child toys. Since then more audio-visual projects have been presented on stage.
A significant milestone was establishing an electronic musical instruments company Ginkosynthese in 2012. The modules I make as Ginkosynthese have shaped my sound further and I am always searching for new ideas to make non standard musical electronic instruments.
As Ginkosynthese is a one man company all orders are processed by myself, if you order an assembled module, I grab my soldering iron and start soldering, if you order a case I make them myself and all kits are packed by me as well... I am not a dropshipping company like Bol or Amazon. While processing orders I try to find my time to work on new projects and I love to welcome people every now and than for a coffee. You can Imagine that I am not always able to ship your orders the next day and assembled modules and cases take longer. Just for you to know if you wonder why you got your order from Amazon in a few days and the order you placed on my website took a bit longer 😉
Oh... And if you are in the neighbourhood don't hesitate to visit for a coffee and a chat, I always love that!
