THE SOUND OF THE DIGITONE KEYS #1

Take, a look..

"Meet Digitone Keys. This new eight voice polyphonic synthesizer keyboard is a performance machine that can usher in soundscapes of distant dreams and worlds previously out of reach. Imagine the sound of whispering dunes, rolling thunder, or the twinkle of distant stars. These are the things that dreams are made of."

BEHRINGER - MONOPOLY

Behringer
, has introduced, their MonoPoly, which is a clone of the Mono / Poly by Korg.

Behringer, hasn't released, any specs. But, as we can see, it has four VCOs (four different waves), which can be played in a paraphonic mode or unison. There is, the chord - memory function, PWM, two LFO, two envelopes (VCF / VCA), detune - function, cross - modulation, 37 - keys, tilt - shift panel, CV / gate and MIDI (DIN / USB).

Price and availability, are unknow, at the moment.

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.."

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.

°Bi - polar filter - envelope amount.
Two 5 - stage envelope - generator (ADSR + delay), with variable routing (filter, amplifier, auxiliary).
°Velocity - modulation, of each envelope - amount.
°Envelopes freely assignable, to multiple modulation - destinations.
