KORG - OPSIX (LEAK)

After showing a dummy / prototype, at this year's Winter - NAMM, some pictures and data of the Opsix by Korg, have leaked.

The new version is looking different and smaller.

The Opsix, is a six - operator FM - synthesizer (digital), with eleven filter - models / - types, three EG (ADSR), three LFO (23 waveforms), a lot of oscillator - waveforms (21), 30 effect - types, an arpeggiator, an polyphonic sequencer and an keyboard with 37 keys.

You'll find, the cached website, of the danish reseller who leaked the Opsix, here!

OXI - ONE

The One, by Oxi Instruments, is looking like a powerful tool.

It has eight CV / Gate - output, one CV - in, MIDI (TRS, USB, Bluetooth LE), MIDI - routing to CV (converter), clock - in and - out, LFO, glide, arpeggiator, randomization, scales and selectable root - note, swing, different playback - directions, CC - mod, chord - function, eight voices per step, a variety of parameter per step, display and more.

But, some basic specifications, aren't made clear.

The Website, is declaring the One, as a device with "..4 fully configurable sequences..", but using a specific mode, it will generate eight tracks and the ability to "..unlock thirtytwo tracks.." using MIDI - output.

So, not sure about the terms sequence and track.

Also, the specs - sheet, is talking about "..64 steps per sequence..", while a bit later the website is mentioning "..up to 128 steps per sequence..".

So, please check out the website, to read more about the specifications and possibilities.

Price: €600. Or €400, for "..the first backers in our upcoming launching campaign.".

IK MULTIMEDIA - UNO SYNTH (SEQUENCED / IN CONTEXT)

Demo, of the basic sound, of the UNO Synth by IK Multimedia.

Analog oscillator (two of them), VCF, LFO, arpeggiator, sequencer (with modulation - sequences), delay, "performance - effects" and MIDI - implementation.

Power is only through USB - port and MIDI, is using micro - jacks (2.5 mm). This maybe not bother, if you run it, in a desktop studio. Otherwise, it's not an optimal setting.

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.

Sequential - Take 5

There was a leak, at a belgium webshop, which was showing a new instrument by Sequential.

It has a full - sized keyboard, of three and a half octave and it's named Take 5.

Seems like it has a polyphony of five voices and it's oscillator are analog.

We can see two oscillator and one sub - oscillator, per voice.

Two envelopes, one LFO (plus one global LFO), mixer - section, filter with resonance and drive, oscillator - sync and FM, modulation - assignment, glide, unison, overdrive, step - sequencer, clock - generator, arpeggiator, MIDI, mod - and pitch - wheel and patch - storage.

And there is Sequential's vintage - button.

The casing - design, of the Take 5, is coming from the same line as the Pro 3.

Price will be, most probably, a few bugs above €1000.

Sequential - Take 5

Now, that the Take 5 is revealed, we know that it is an analog (oscillator, filter, amp. Envelopes are digital - controlled), with a polyphony of five.

The Take 5 has no multi - timbrality. The polyphonic step - sequencer is providing just 64 steps. And there are only 128 user - patch memory - places.

Some cool specs are the variable wave - shape (except sub - oscillator), oscillator - sync, FM, 5 - stage envelopes, self - resonating filter, configurable unison - mode (1 to 5 voices), modulation - matrix (16 slots), digital - effects and an overdrive - circuit.

Also nice, is the factory - mode (or non - factory mode). Using a switch, all parameter are using the front - panel settings.

The Take 5 has the so called vintage - knob, which is producing parameter - variation, so the different voices don't sound exactly the same.

And it is coming with a complete MIDI - trio (in / out / thru) of 5 - pole sockets.

Specifications:
°Two analog VCO, per voice.

Waldorf - M

Waldorf is continuing, the Microwave - series. In a contemporary sound - and form - factor. And the new wavetable - hybrid, is just called M.

It's a desktop - unit, without any keys and it seems it can be rack - mounted.

The M has a polyphony of eight voices and a multi - timbrality of for parts, which can be routed to separated outputs.

Each voice is using, two wavetable with independant wavetable generating - modes. There is the Microwave 1 - and the Microwave 2 / XT - mode.

The 24 dB / oct - filter is a analog circuit, also the stereo - VCA, that can be panned.

It has two LFO, three flexible multi - segment envelopes, and an arpeggiator which can be synced to MIDI - clock.

96 factory - wavetable and 32 user - wavetable.

2048 sound - and 128 multi - programs, can be stored.

SD - card slot, for exchanging sound - banks and wavetables.

USB - and DIN - connections, for MIDI.

And a graphics - capable display.

There is no such thing, like a modulation - matrix.
