8 synthesis models for pitched sounds: * Pair of continuously variable waveforms (virtual analog). * Variable slope triangle oscillator processed by a waveshaper and wavefolder. * 2-operator FM with continuously variable feedback path. * Two independently controllable formants modulated by a variable shape window (VOSIM, Pulsar, Grainlet, Casio CZ-style filter sweeps). * 24-harmonic additive oscillator. * Wavetable oscillator with four banks of 8x8 waves, with or without interpolation. * Chord generator, with divide down string/organ emulation or wavetables. * A collection of speech synthesis algorithms (formant filter, SAM, LPC), with phoneme control and formant shifting. Several banks of phonemes or segments of words are available.
8 synthesis models for noise and percussions * Granular sawtooth or sine oscillator, with variable grain density, duration and frequency randomization. * Clocked noise processed by a variable shape resonant filter. * 8 layers of dust/particle noise processed by resonators or all-pass filters. * Extended Karplus-Strong (aka Rings’ red mode), with white or dust noise excitation. * Modal resonator (aka Rings’ green mode), with mallet or dust noise excitation. * Analog kick drum emulation (two flavors). * Analog snare drum emulation (two flavors). * Analog high-hat emulation (two flavors).
I/O and controls: * 2 model selection buttons, with 8 bicolor LEDs displaying the active model. * Main frequency control, 8 octaves. * Three dimensions of timbre control: harmonics, timbre, morph. * Attenuverters for the timbre, morph, and frequency modulation CV inputs. These CV inputs are normalized to the internal envelope generator. * Model selection, harmonics, timbre, morph, FM CV inputs. * Main V/O CV input, with a large input range (-3V to +7V). * Trigger input, triggering an internal D envelope, or the exciter for the physical/drum models. * Level CV input, controlling the internal digital low-pass gate, or acting as an accent control for the physical/drum models.
Technical characteristics: * CV inputs: 100k input impedance, 4kHz, 16-bit. * Audio outputs: 48kHz, 16-bit, DC-coupled. * Cortex-M4 ARM processor. * 12-HP. * Current consumption: +12V: 50mA ; -12V: 5mA. |
