The Hartmann Neuron has been the kind of synth that us mortals lust after, it's offers a new method of synthesis combining physical modeling and what Hartmann call neural synthesis. The Hartmann keyboard is an impressive machine, with a stylish UI surround sound outputs. The Neuron VS is a software version of the above synth, but with fewer (2 only) resonators (like oscilators). The VS comes with a hardware controler stroke dongle, allowing assignable joystick control of the resonators and or any other paramters you desire. On show for the first time (at least as far as we've seen) the VS is now available at $999. Features

Innovative and award winning neural synthesis engine (template driven Multi-Component Particle Transform Synthesis with realtime controllable synthesis model parameters

Artificial Neural Network controlled adaptive sound analysis for the parametric transformation of musical monophonic and polyphonic sounds)

2 Resynators, each with 3 Scape and 3 Sphere Levels, Stick recording and Playback function per parameter level

1 ADSR envelope per Resynator with definable depth per parameter level

1 amplifier envelope per Resynator (ADSR)

2 definable free envelopes (ADSR)

Blender module for manipulating one timbre (from resynator 1) with the properties of another (resynator 2)

8 different blender types

Modulation module -Low frequency oscillator with 12 waveforms

Slicer module for the generation of multidimensional, cyclic modulation with 12 waveforms

Silver module with multimode filter (24dB lowpass, 12dB lowpass, 6dB lowpass, 6dB highpass, bandpass)

1 Silver (ADSR) Envelope

Frequency FX Module with EQ / Compressor, Distortion, Ring Modulator, Decimator and SP Warp Effects

Time FX Module with Stereo Spread, Left/Right Delay, Flanger, Phaser and Chorus Effects

Over 250 Models included (Strings / Percussion / Pianos / Pads /Reed / Plugged / Basses / Drums / Solo Instruments / Bells / Brass / Voices EFX / Loops / Organs, etc.)

Each Model can be manipulated with 12 Parameters (6 x Scape / 6 x Sphere Parameters) that have been detected when analyzing the original sound.

10 different Parameter sets – depending on the specific Model characteristics

Over 300 Sounds included

hardware controller with 4 freely definable encoder knobs, 1 stick controller, 1 select button / 3 LEDs (connects via the USB port of your computer)
