Analogue Solutions Releases Ample : Analogue 3 Vco Patch Pin Synthesizer Seen At Synthfest Is Now Available

Abundant adheres to Analogue Answers’ tried-and-tested no-compromise development method, that includes a complete rugged metal and aluminium case — no plastic mouldings right here; top quality steel potentiometers with easy motion, completely sealed in opposition to mud intrusion; top quality knobs with spun aluminium caps; top quality double-sided circuit forums; top quality 16-bit DAC (Virtual-to-Analogue Convertor) for solid MIDI (Musical Software Virtual Interface) to CV (Keep an eye on Voltage) conversion; solid analogue oscillators; gold-plated contact plates; plus true unfashionable analogue voice and modulation circuits to provide an unique unfashionable sound. Since Analogue Answers’ cutting edge tools are applauded for proudly possessing a in reality classic sound — synthesisers that includes fully-analogue audio paths with analogue LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators) and EGs (Envelope Turbines), in different phrases, Abundant is in excellent corporate as an ANALOGUE 3 VCO PATCH PIN SYNTHESISER.

However via fantastically mixing the most efficient parts of a number of previous and reward merchandise — specifically, the sound parts of Fusebox fabricated firstly as an aptly-named, three-VCO (Voltage-Managed Oscillator) true analogue monophonic synthesiser that favourably fuses the corporate’s characterful classic sound with a complicated collection of modulation and melodic chances in a beautifully-built field; the jack issues offered within the long-discontinued line of Concussor modular synth drum modules (themselves courting again to the time when Analogue Answers used to be the 3rd corporate to start out generating Eurorack format-compatible modules, magical as that would possibly sound in these days’s ever-expanding technology of hundreds of Eurorack modules being produced via masses — if no longer hundreds — of builders, each larger and smaller); the patch pin matrix offered within the long-lasting Vostok semi-modular synthesiser sequence (that knowingly nodded and winked at its Russian ‘roots’ from a visible perspective); the lo-fi echo featured in Dr Strangelove as a small and inexpensive desktop sign processor (that ushered in Analogue Answers’ so-called synthBlocks sequence); and closing, however on no account least, the sequencer and CV contact plates offered in Generator as a highly-versatile multi-channel analogue step sequencer — to shape a in reality analogue modular device skilfully introduced as a precision-engineered digital musical device is what in reality makes Abundant stand out among Analogue Answers’ present-day merchandise.

Put it this fashion: whilst Abundant stocks all of the ones options from a few of Analogue Answers’ ‘largest hits’, it nonetheless has a valid of its personal because of the circuits on be offering: OSCILLATING is treated via 3 analogue VCOs (Voltage-Managed Oscillators), each and every offering a wealth of options and modulation alternatives, with the VCO3/LFO 1 legend visually highlighting that the 3rd oscillator can simply be utilised as an LFO (with noticed, sq., and triangle wave modulation alerts), whilst LFO2/SYNC has a triangle wave output to overall two LFOs; the LP VCF (Voltage-Managed Filter out) segment is anchored round a four-pole 24dB-per-octave low-pass filter out; the VCA (Voltage-Managed Amplifier) will also be set to THRU so it’s all the time ‘open’ (permitting Abundant for use as an impact processor); the 2 envelope turbines — EG 1 and EG 2 — each and every be offering complete keep an eye on over ATTACK, DECAY, SUSTAIN, and RELEASE; in depth modulation routing alternatives permit for a variety of resultant sounds extending into percussion and ‘modular’ territory, additional prolonged via patching with the jack sockets and pin matrix; MIDI is deliberately saved easy so customers can be aware of growing new sounds and making tune, with all- vital keep an eye on over filter out cutoff to be had by way of MIDI Pace; patchable CV keep an eye on sockets permit the synth in query to successfully be rewired to make new sounds, in addition to simply patched at the side of exterior Eurorack and different modular programs; the PATTERNATOR is a vintage-style 16-step sequencer; the six contact plates each and every output a collection voltage, so can be utilized to pitch notes or as modulation alerts — both means, they’re in reality inspirational in motion; the pin matrix represents a neat (and versatile) technique to patch the synth; and the ECHO segment supplies simple get admission to to including just a little lo-fi echo or lengthen.

Audio packages abound when running with Abundant as a synthesiser — excelling at analogue sound results, in addition to fats basses, screaming leads, and all means of alternative loopy sounds related to analogue synthesis; an impact processor — best possible for feeding exterior sounds throughout the onboard analogue filter out and ECHO sections by way of exterior audio inputs; a drum synthesiser — fitted to generating digital percussion, together with cymbal, hi-hat, kick, and snare sounds; and as a modular synthesiser — partly pre-patched, however with such a variety of modulation routing chances that it’s virtually as flexible as a full-blown modular device, and in a position to generating the similar sorts of sounds however allotting with phone exchange-like cabling confusion in favour of constructing space-saving connections with detachable colored pins, but nonetheless offering a versatile number of patch sockets so it could possibly temporarily be re-patched into itself or to/from exterior Eurorack and different modular programs.

Additionally it is price noting in conclusion that whilst Abundant can be utilized with an exterior MIDI keyboard or DAW (Virtual Audio Workstation), or an exterior CV keyboard or analogue sequencer, it’s similarly at house being labored with by itself the use of its interior step sequencer or pitch performed by way of its six-touch plate ‘keyboard’. No matter means any individual chooses to paintings with Abundant, it might conceivably be argued that it’s the highest desktop synth of all — Analogue Answers-wise or differently!
