Eowave Instruments have annouced that the synth which was firstly introduced at the MusikMesse 2011, under the name Koma, is now available as Magma. The Magma is an analogue bassline synthesizer inspired by classical synths from the 1980s. It offers the possibility to mix 4 different waveforms (saw, square, sub, noise). The 24 dB low-pass filter is also inspired from classical filters from the 80s.
To this particular sound of the 80s, we added a touch of modernity with modern controls and parameters saving features. The 16 steps sequencer has 4 rows: 1 for the notes and 3 freely assignable to a parameter of your choice that enables to create living sequences with sonorities like Vince Clark or Yann Hammer.
Oscillator section
– analogue VCO with square saw sub (sub can be 1 or 2 octaves below the master freq), noise.
– VCO can be modulated by LFO and PW
– Variable glide
– mixer to mix the 4 waveforms
Filter section
Full analogue VCO, filter, VCA.
– external audio with a trimmer to feed the filter
– 24dB low pass filter roland style for a classical 80s sound
– filter can be modulated by env2, KB, lfo.
VCA section
– Vca is affected to env1
– 2 envelopes ADSR modulate respectively the amplitude and the filter.
Attack goes from 2ms to 10s.
LFOs section
– 2 x LFO with 8 waveforms (triangle, ramp up, ramp down, square, random, digital noise, staircase up, staircase down)
