Inspired by the hypnotic polyrhythms of vintage analog experiments, this semi-modular synth unlocks subharmonic magic in a compact desktop form that's perfect for igniting creative sparks on any desk.
Dual VCOs each deliver square and sawtooth waves plus two tunable sub-oscillators, stacking up to six sound sources for lush, pseudo-polyphonic textures that evolve in unexpected ways. A punchy 24 dB ladder filter with cutoff, resonance, and multimode options shapes those tones, paired with snappy VCA and VCF envelopes featuring attack, decay, and mix controls for dynamic expression. The real standout is the dual 4-step sequencers driven by four polyrhythm generators and clock dividers, with variable quantization, octave ranges up to five octaves, and intuitive interval tweaks for crafting intricate grooves on the fly. Hands-on access comes via 57 knobs and switches, plus a 16x16 patchbay for deeper modular explorations, all in a sleek 321 x 164 x 45 mm metal chassis weighing just 1.5 kg, powered by a 12V DC supply. MIDI DIN in/out/thru, USB-B, clock I/O, audio input, and a 3.5 mm line/headphone out make it a seamless fit for DAW integration or live rigs.
Since launching in late 2024, it's earned praise for delivering Moog Subharmonicon-style complexity at an accessible price, with users highlighting the immediate usability and fat analog warmth, though some note the fixed step count limits longer sequences without patching.
