New analog synthesizer!

Post by ikazlar » Tue Dec 29, 2009 9:27 am

A small teaser for ya:

1.) 4 VCOs (4th VCO can function as an LFO), waveforms include saw, tri, square and pulse with 2 or 3 duty cycles - can't remember which ones but I think it's 25% and 5%)
2.) 2 filters (VCF1: multimode 12dB highpass, 12 dB lowpass, 6dB notch, VCF2: 24dB transistor ladder)
3.) 2 analog ADSRs for the filters, each filter gets its own ADSR
4.) 2 analog ADSRs for VCA
5.) flexible routing with separate knobs: each VCO can be sent to either VCF1, VCF 2 or both
6.) modulation busses ala Voyager style.
7.) polyphony: 1 voice
8.) keyboard: 4 octaves
9.) controls: pitch and modulation wheels (wooden ones)
10.) construction: wooden, with flip-up panel ala Minimoog
11.) no patch memory, no LCD

More teasers soon... 8)

Seems like a little expanded Voyager Old School?

I just looked at all of the unusual synths at Analogue Haven, & didn't see any that fit the bill, but I did see they have an Andromeda in stock. I still think I'll get the Prophet 08 pe though. Can't wait to hear the Taurus 3s & Prophet together - I wonder how much longer until the T-3s start shipping...

The europeans seem to have a real appreciate for synths, and they seem like they are importing all of the leftover Moogs.

Vintage Soviet analog perhaps? More clues, please!

Cool. The teaser-spam has been defused. It was getting annoying seeing it on every forum.

What do you mean "every" forum? How is 2 fora every forum for you? I am really sorry that you have found it annoying. Next time I will post on "literary" every forum a thread about a DX7 editor to spike your curiosity and relieve your anxiety.

Thanks but it's not mine yet. (I am working on it). I just saw the cover of a magazine while I was in Hamburg and thought that it must be some VST thingy. Boy, am I glad I was wrong!
