AnalogParaphonic

Imagine a semi-modular beast that packs dual oscillators, filters, and envelopes into an 80HP Eurorack frame, ready to sling paraphonic analog tones without needing a single patch cable to get started. It's like Behringer distilled the raw power of classic monosynths but cranked up the modulation and routing options for modern modular rigs.

At its core, two VCOs blend seamlessly across five waveforms—tone mod, pulse with PWM, saw, triangle, and sine—each with dedicated sub-oscillators, sync, and PWM for thick, evolving sounds. Dual self-oscillating multi-mode VCFs (LPF/HPF/BP at 12dB/oct) link in parallel or series with CV options, paired to two ASR envelopes (with loop, bounce, reverse) for VCAs and wavefolder control, plus two ADSR envelopes for filter duties. Two LFOs offer five shapes, MIDI clock/key sync, phase, and depth tweaks; add a multi-mode wavefolder, noise gen, external audio input with soft clipping, and utilities like attenuverters and mixers. With 64 patch points (40 in/24 out), 68 hands-on knobs/faders, MIDI/USB I/O, main TS out, headphone jack, and 12VDC power, it's a desktop or rack powerhouse at 94 x 424 x 136mm.

Players dig its immediate playability and fat bass/leads, praising the hands-on layout and value for expanding Eurorack systems, though some note the paraphonic mode demands patching for full independent voice control.
