Imagine holding a pocket-sized portal to the wild world of vector synthesis, echoing the groundbreaking Sequential Prophet VS from the '80s but shrunk down to fit in your gig bag.
This hybrid powerhouse packs four digital vector oscillators per voice—each with wavetable synthesis drawing from 128 waveforms, graphically previewed on its crisp display—for morphing sounds via a responsive joystick that blends them in real time. A 24 dB analog low-pass filter shapes the output, joined by two envelopes (filter, amp, and osc), dual LFOs, and a studio-grade chorus effect, all tweakable from skinny-but-direct knobs and buttons on the compact front panel. Fire up the 16-step sequencer or arpeggiator (with three modes), play paraphonic chords or leads on the 27 touch-sensitive keys with no moving parts, and store your creations in 32 presets. Battery-powered for portability, it measures just 1.42 x 5.12 x 3.66 inches, with USB-C, DIN MIDI, and analog sync for easy integration.
Owners can't get enough of its huge, juicy tones—from evolving pads and bells to punchy basses—that punch way above its tiny size and price, though some note the sequencer takes practice and knobs feel a bit fiddly for big hands. The analog filter's warmth and joystick magic keep it inspiring for sketches on the go.
