When German synthesizer maker Vermona unveiled this monosynth at NAMM in 2015, it sparked genuine excitement among analog enthusiasts—and for good reason. Only 222 units were ever produced, making it a modern rarity that players tend to keep rather than sell. The '14 Analogsynthesizer draws its proven circuits from Vermona's PERfourMER MKII and Mono Lancet '15, refined specifically for hands-on expressivity and musicality.
This is a classic subtractive synthesizer built for serious sound design. Two powerful analog oscillators feed into a versatile lowpass filter with switchable slopes of 12, 18, or 24 dB/octave, shaped by two ADSR envelopes and two LFOs. The first oscillator includes cross-modulation and hard-sync capabilities, while both feature sub-oscillators for added depth. You get individual control over oscillator waveforms (sine, sawtooth, rectangle), pulse-width modulation, and extensive modulation routing—the filter responds to the LFO, envelope, and VCO1's sine wave, with intensity controllable via the modulation wheel and aftertouch. The arpeggiator includes a sequencer mode with 16 memory slots.
The 44-note Fatar keyboard delivers velocity sensitivity and monophonic aftertouch, paired with pitch and modulation wheels for real-time expression. Vermona's signature warm, round tone cuts through any mix with musical authority, equally suited for beefy bass lines, punchy leads, or everything between. Built like a tank at 6.5 kg, it ships with a sustain pedal, dust cover, and microfiber cloth—a handcrafted instrument designed for players who demand both stability and sonic character.
