Born from a collaboration between Dreadbox and Polyend, this hybrid synth fuses three thick analog VCOs—delivering saw, pulse, triangle, and advanced wave morphing—with three digital wavetable oscillators for a massive six-voice paraphonic punch that's rare in a desktop module.
Its standout 64-pad grid offers X/Y/Z pressure sensitivity for intuitive sequencing, chord memory, and real-time modulation, paired with a Polyend-inspired 64-step sequencer in step, live, or incremental modes, plus arpeggiator and per-step parameter locks. The analog multimode filter, drawing from the Erebus design, switches between 12dB/oct lowpass, 24dB/oct lowpass, and 6dB/oct highpass with self-oscillation and tracking, shaped by five loopable DADSR envelopes and five versatile LFOs (sine, square, saw, triangle, reverse saw). Housed in a sturdy aluminum chassis measuring 490 x 205 x 50mm and weighing 2.3kg, it features aluminum knobs, two OLED screens, Eurorack patch points, MIDI In/Out/Thru (USB and DIN), mono audio I/O, and headphones out—all without built-in effects for pure signal path focus.
Players love its hands-on grid for happy accidents and deep sound design, though some note the filter lacks extreme character and paraphonic voice allocation takes tweaking. It's a unique bridge between analog warmth and digital sequencing control, perfect for evolving leads, pads, and experimental grooves.
