One of the most incredible new synths available. It re-defines analog synthesis in a modern synth. Using Virtual Sound Modelling technology the intricate nuances and character of analog synth sounds are beautifully recreated on this amazingly flexible synth.
First of all, it can sound like them all, an ARP 2600 or a Minimoog or a Roland Jupiter. This synth is polyphonic and multitimbral, it has a very flexible filter, LFO and Envelope control, portamento/legato, a great arpeggiator and analog-like dedicated knobs for quick and easy synthesizing!
Everything is MIDI'd up and controllable, there's a great pitch bender and a 'morphing' feature. A performance mode allows certain parameters to be stored with a sound such as unison or poly modes, legato and portamento. It is available as a Keyboard, a Rackmount module and as Virtual PC Software.
This synth is currently in use by lots of artists including Ken Ishii, The Crystal Method, Fatboy Slim, Cirrus, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Deftones, Mouse on Mars, Maroon 5, Dr. Dre, Laurent Garnier, ATB, The Prodigy, Autechre, Astral Projection, Boom Boom Satellites, Fluke, Front Line Assembly, KMFDM and Underworld.
Too bad that the synth was originally produced at 1995, I would've liked to have a time machine too, just like the psy trance producers you're talking here. :)
it is one of the greatest dance synths you can buy as its not flabby , over fat , has lightning fast env and a filter that 'whips ' , if the roland mks80 or moog were a car they would be a jaguar - this things a ferrari - seriously - jims a wanker or was it bill > both are tone deaf !!!!!!!!
