One of the first things that grabs you about this synth is its "no compromises" approach to blending West Coast waveshaping magic with East Coast subtractive punch—all in a compact desktop box that feels built to last, thanks to its sturdy aluminum chassis and metal-shaft pots.
At its heart sits a pair of voltage-controlled oscillators: the Complex Generator starts with a sine wave and morphs it through waveshaping (crossfading square to sine to saw), wavefolding, and bias for asymmetrical clipping, all ripe for audio-rate mod from the Basic Generator (square, sine, saw) or its sub-oscillator. A resonant 12dB/oct filter switches between lowpass and highpass, fed by a mixer that can overdrive it for grit, while two looping ADSR envelopes (one with velocity sensitivity) and dual digital LFOs (0.01-100Hz, five waveforms, clock-syncable) handle modulation duties. Top it off with a tape-style delay (tap-tempo or synced), balanced stereo outs, headphone jack, MIDI in/thru, USB, and seven 3.5mm CV/gate/audio ins for modular integration—plus a built-in strobe tuner for spot-on A=440Hz calibration. Measuring 345x206x75mm and weighing 3kg, it's performance-ready with an internal power supply, no wall wart hassles.
Players digging into its sound palette often highlight the addictive timbres from the Complex section alone—hours vanish tweaking harmonics without touching the filter—though some note its monophonic focus demands creative sequencing for chords. Early adopters call it a fresh voice in analog synths, praising the character and build.
