Back in 2000, this walnut-cabinet beast arrived as a customizable haven for analog modular fans, letting you hand-pick up to 28 modules in a 168hp space—perfect for turning it into your dream self-contained synth rig.
Three VCOs anchor the subtractive analog heart, with one oscillator standing out for its CV-controllable pulse width on saw and square waves, plus a versatile ladder filter switching between lowpass, highpass, bandpass, notch, and more. A single envelope pairs with an 80Hz LFO and mod matrix for deep patching, all wired via 16-pin ribbons for easy swaps, and it welcomes both DIN MIDI (in/out/thru) and CV/Gate from its 49-note keyboard. The semi-modular design fits Analogue Systems modules seamlessly, even Doepfer ones, in a gig-ready frame with buffered outputs for slick oscillator chaining.
Owners loved its retro vibe and smooth studio integration, though some noted MIDI response could lag and the keyboard lacks velocity or aftertouch—classic trade-offs in a vintage powerhouse still sought after today.
