Back in 2001, this synth emerged as Vermona's bold stab at a fully polyphonic analog powerhouse, packing six voices into a sleek desktop module that promised raw, hands-on analog tones without the usual compromises.
At its core, each of the six voices rocks three analog VCOs—sawtooth and pulse waveforms, plus white and pink noise—routed through a multimode filter setup blending low-pass and high-pass options for everything from thick basses to searing leads. You've got a single ADSR envelope per voice, two versatile LFOs with attack/decay shaping, sample-and-hold, and mod options like sync, ring mod, and even LFO speeds pushing into audio range for FM-like tricks. Controls are all knobs and sliders on the compact front panel, with aftertouch support, 100 onboard patches expandable via memory card, and per-oscillator glide for those expressive slides. It's pure subtractive analog signal path, no effects, just uncolored sonic heft.
Vintage synth hunters speak fondly of its fat square basses and punchy saw leads, though some note the fixed pulse widths and single envelope limit its versatility compared to modern polys. Still, in today's scene, it's a rare gem for analog purists chasing that early-2000s German engineering vibe.
