MESSE03: New Monosynth From Quasimidi Guy

US The Spectron - it's big and it's yellow      13/03/03

The Spectron with creator Jorg Schaaf

Tucked away at the back of hall 5.1, you wouldn't say that this new synth was making a big splash at the Messe. In fact, we nearly missed it. If it wasn't for the interesting sounds emanating from the stand populated with the nifty SAC control surfaces, it wouldn't have had a second glance. Its not as if the new Spectron synthesizer from Radikal Technologies isn't eye catching. We figure it's around 5-6 units high! At present (this is still a prototype), it's a monosynth 3 osc with a 32 track high resolution sequencer, 10 (or possibly more) BPF (Band Pass Filters) plus a multimode 24dB/oct filter. The Sequencer will be able to trigger envelopes and fade between steps giving minutes of possible sound evolution. Jorg Schaaf, is no newcomer to synth design, formerly of the sadly defunct Quasimidi. As we say this machine is till under development but should be making an appearance later on in the year in it's final form.
