ISE-NIN Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer Module

Inspired by the legendary Roland Jupiter-8 from 1981, this polyphonic analog module delivers that same creamy, vintage warmth in a compact modern package—eight voices of pure analog magic without the bulk of the original.

Each of its eight voices packs two discrete VCOs offering triangle, ramp, square, pulse, and noise waveforms across a wide 2'-16' range, with oscillator sync, PWM, and cross-modulation for everything from lush pads to snarling leads. Signature Japanese-style multimode filters provide highpass plus switchable 12dB or 24dB/oct lowpass resonance, shaped by dual digital ADSR envelopes, a per-layer MIDI-syncable LFO targeting pitch, pulse width, filter, or amplitude, and a deep mod matrix with velocity and polyphonic aftertouch as sources. Play in Whole, Split, or Dual modes for layered bi-timbrality, with unison, arpeggiator, portamento, and MPE support; store 1280 presets across 10 banks via encoder and OLED display. Built into a sturdy 4U aluminum chassis measuring 18.25 x 7 x 2 inches, it fits desktop or 19-inch rack setups, with full DIN/USB MIDI, separate layer outputs, and MTS-ESP microtuning for exotic scales.

Players love its stable tuning, snappy envelopes, and buttery-smooth fader resolution that nails organic sweeps, though some note the LFO section could offer even more destinations. It's a standout in Black Corporation's lineup, blending authentic Jup-8 tone with today's expressive controls.
