ARTURIA - POLYBRUTE

Arturia
's new instrument, the Polybrute, is an analog and polyphonic synthesizer with the ability to morph between two states, of the same sound.

It has six voices with two oscillator, per voice. You can split the keyboard, into two zones, and set a different MIDI - channel, to each of them. So, the Polybrute has a two voice multi - timbrality.

Another outstanding features, is the Morphée - controller, which is three - dimensional (touch and pressure).

There are two different filter, three envelopes, three LFO, a modulation - matrix, digital effects, a sequencer, arpeggiator, MIDI, USB and analog - clock connections.

SEQUENTIAL - PROPHET 5 / PROPHET 10

The Prophet 5 by Sequential is back.

The main - features, like two oscillator per voice with different wave - selections, hard - sync, LFO - mode for oscillator 2, filter - and amplifier - envelope, LFO, poly - mod and so on, are the same. But, of course, the new version called "revision 4", has MID and USB and a "Vintage Knob" that "..recreates the characteristics of various Prophet - 5 models by varying the behavior of oscillators, envelopes, amplifiers, and other parameters. Go from a very stable “4” — as in Prophet - 5 Rev4, (the new version) — all the way to “1,” as in Prophet - 5 Rev1, the rarest and most temperamental of all Prophet - 5s.."

NORAND - MONO

The Mono is, you guess it, a monophonic synthesizer, with two oscillator (continuously variable waveform), and ADSR - envelope, three - pole filter (multi - mode), an sequencer and interesting modulation - capabilities (x - envelopes, x - modulation).

The x - envelopes and the x - modulation, are available for every parameter. X - envelope is a AD - envelope and the x - mod is a frequency - generator, which can be running in three different modes (LFO, synced LFO, audio - rate).

The Mono can perform frequency - modulation and oscillator - sync.

You can use a key - follow function, to control the filter and the filter can be, also, modulated by the main - envelope (ADSR) and continuously fade from band - to low - to high - pass.

The sequencer has up to 64 steps and is allowing, to program, microshift, ratchet and probability for every step. There is accent, slide and swing. The randomizer can used for parameter or sequences. And "..each step can hold up to 48 parameter offsets..". Also, parts of a pattern can be looped temporarily.

You have MIDI (in, out, thru), USB, CV and gate (out), analog - clock input (sync, reset) and an accent - output.

Oh, and the Mono is an analog synthesizer.

°Analog oscillator.
°Continuously variable waveform.

°Hard - sync.
°Filter - overdrive.
°3 - pole multi - mode filter.

BEHRINGER - DEEPMIND 12 (SEQUENCED / IN CONTEXT)

Demonstrating, the basic sound, of the Deepmind 12 by Behringer.

The Deepmind is, also, able to produce very good sounding pads, bells or drums, etc. which is not really part of this video.

Bigger polyphonic synthesizer, will be featured, in different videos, where showing them playing chords and layered sounds.

IK MULTIMEDIA - UNO SYNTH PRO

The little UNO Synth, has grown up and transformed (in two different versions).

More oscillator, more filter, more sequencer, more effects, more LFO, more storage, more connections.

The UNO Synth Pro has three oscillator, an additional LP - filter, an additional LFO, 64 - step sequencer (instead of 16), twelve effects (3 slots), a modulation - matrix (16 slots), 256 preset - storages, CV / Gate - connections.

The UNO Synth Pro, is coming in two versions.

Technically almost identical, is the "desktop" - version build from plastic (the "regular" one, is a combination of plastic and metal) and has capacitive touch - keys. The bigger one, is using a keyboard, build by Fatar.

Using both filter, twentyfour combinations are possible.

The MIDI - input and - out are now DIN (5 - pole). That's great.

CV / Gate can be connected in both ways (in and out).

The UNO Synth Pro can be powered by a PSU. Very nice.

The desktop - version, can only be powered through USB.

Specs:
°Three discrete wave - morphing oscillator.
°PWM, sync, FM and ring - modulation.
°Dual - state variable filter with 24 modes.
°OTA - filter
°SSI - based filter, with self - oscillation.
°16 - slot modulation matrix.
°256 user - editable presets.
°12 studio - quality FX, in 3 slots.
°Reverbs, delays, modulation.
°64 - step sequencer, with 84 parameter.
°10 - mode onboard arpeggiator.
°USB / MIDI / CV / Gate in / out.
°Audio - input through filter, fx or pass - through.
°Compact, stage - ready keyboard (37 keys) with aftertouch.
°Ultra - portable, 32 capacitive - key tabletop (UNO Synth Pro Desktop).

Price: €488 (desktop) or €729 (regular).

BEHRINGER - POLYEIGHT

A few days ago, Behringer was revealing their proptotype, of a clone, of the Polysix by Korg.

But it's named Polyeight and Behringer confirmed, that they were adding two more voices. The Polysix had six voices, as the name is suggesting.

And we can see, that there are a few more features, compared to the original. There is a display, a noise - parameter, more waveforms for the LFO, portamento, a new key - assign mode, aftertouch - velocity.

There is the "classic" - MIDI trio (DIN / 5 pin), which is very cool, USB for modern needings and, of course, the obsolete tape - connector (for saving and loading patches) is missing.

Unfortunately, there is a cooling - fan and the keyboard has a range of four octaves (the original has five octaves).

Date of availabilty and price, are unknown, at this date.

Here is the original posting, from Behringer.
