Back in 2014, MFB stepped up their game with this beast, packing a massive patch field into a keyboard synth that bridges desktop monos and full modular rigs—think of it as their flagship for anyone craving analog depth without committing to a full Eurorack sprawl.
Three VCOs deliver triangle, saw, and square waves with sliding morphing, analog ring mod on the first, digital XOR on the others, plus dual sync, dynamic FM from LFOs or envelopes, and a noise generator for extra grit—all feeding a redesigned SED multimode filter with 12 modes like 24dB/18dB/12dB/6dB lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and notch, controllable via contour from ADSR1. You've got three LFOs (two with one-shot and reset, frequencies from 40-second cycles to 1.2kHz), two ADSR and one AD envelopes with 70mm faders and fast/slow modes, a 128-step sequencer, arpeggiator, and velocity/aftertouch routing matrix to 12 destinations. The 3-octave Fatar keyboard feels solid, paired with two ribbon controllers for pitch and mod (CV outs too), over 30 patch points for CV/Gate and modular integration, MIDI In/Out/Thru, USB, balanced TRS outs, and an internal power supply—all in a sturdy 552 x 390 x 70mm black chassis.
Players love its thick, vintage-rivaling tones—Moog-like warmth with Berlin-school edge—and the hands-on patching that sparks endless experimentation, though some note the ribbons take getting used to and warm-up time for tuning stability. It's a studio centerpiece that stays inspiring years later.
