Significant and prevailing sounds: metallic leads, arpeggios and very strange pads. Very unique sounds from clear & harsh metallic sequencer-sounds to soft & wide modulated Pads. This is achieved by modulating the Timbre on the oscillator level. Featuring 5 "Lazy"-Buttons for instant changes to new sounds. An ideal companion to the STS-17.

Extended information

This synthesizer features 'Timbre-modulation' being achieved by processing each oscillator's waveform in a very unique way. The result is frequencies are moved to more mid and high ranges - enriching the sound even with harmonics and at certain settings adds a metallic character usually expected by a ringmodulator - but there is no ringmodulator used.

Each oscillator has actually two audio-outputs: one normal and one timbre-modulated both being routed by mix-sliders to filter or direct out of VCA. So the most interesting part of a sound is already created in using the mix and modulation section of each oscillator. In addition to that the filter section adds what You expect from a synthesizer.
