Where SH-101 Meets Buchla

US Puremagnetik releases Solveig - a hybrid complex oscillator synth 16/05/18

Puremagnetik tells us that Solveig is a reverse engineered early '80s analog synth modeled after the classic Roland SH-101 sound engine, further augmented with the addition of a "complex", Buchla-inspired oscillator.

A spokesperson told us, "With Solveig, you can dial up anything from an MC-202 style acid bass, to a solid sawtooth lead, rich, evolving pads and more. Crank up the filter envelope and get some instant analog '80s percussion. And finally, unlike the original SH-101, Solveig also has a self-oscillating resonant filter. A versatile sound design machine and realistic analog synthesizer model, Solveig is capable of complementing your productions in many situations."
