Expressive E & AAS have introduced Imagine, a new physical modeling synthesizer designed for expressive control.
The Imagine offers hundreds of physically modeled instrument layers. Each preset combines two of these instrument layers to create expressive acoustic timbres.
Official walkthrough video:
Features:
A typical instruments – Imagine offers hundreds of instrument layers, “meticulously modeled” to bring their very own character.
Playful sound design – Each instrument has its very own character that can be easily adjusted with great flexibility.
Vivid textures, morphing acoustic – Combine the layers of instruments and modulate their characteristics in real time.
Enhance and articulate – Imagine offers a complete tool set of effects ideal for enhancing your sounds. Everything is designed for real-time manipulation to easily create fluid articulations, breaks, drops, or to dynamically modify reverbs and delays.
Multi-stage envelope generators – For further expressive possibilities, Imagine contains MSEGs that pack a huge collection of modulations for your sounds.
Intelligent modulation system – Behind the scenes, everything is optimized to provide you the best expressive experience possible: no dead zones; sensitivity curves and ranges are continuously scaled.
Optimized macros – Significant optimization work has been carried out to allow you to modulate the sound of your instruments in real time, resulting in a unique expressive perspective.
At Superbooth 2021, Endorphin.es has introduced three new modules in a 1U form factor, each of which are based on existing Euro format modules:
Golden Master 1U is a Eurorack stereo, end of chain multiband processor. It utilizes 3 behind the panel connectors: AUX IN and MIX OUT for chaining Golden Master with other Mix Bus compatible modules and a 6 pin balanced output for Intellijel 1/4″ I/O outputs. This makes Golden Master 1U a useful end of chain stereo output module.
Milky Way 1U is a stereo FX module in 22hp. It features 16 different true stereo FX algorithms, with the ability to pan and crossfade the input signals under CV control. By utilizing the MIX OUT connector on the back the module, it integrates with other Mix Bus compatible modules.
Cockpit 1U is a compact 4-channel stereo mixer, with sidechain ducking in 24 hp. It features 4 white labels that can be used for naming your channels with a permanent marker. Channels 2/3/4 now have dual mono inputs, eliminating the need for jumpers on the back, channel 1 has remained stereo. As with other 1U modules, it has three behind the back connectors, namely AUX IN and MIX OUT for chaining and 6 pin balanced output for Intellijel ¼ IO outputs.
The new 1U modules will be available in October 2021, priced at € 200, incl. VAT/$210 MSRP.
At Superbooth 2021, Knobula is introducing the Poly Cinematic, an 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer in Eurorack format.
The module offers up to 7 oscillators per voice, 3 filter types, a built-in reverb, chord memory and more.
Here’s what they say about it:
“Introducing Poly Cinematic. The powerful compact synthesiser that brings big synth polyphony to Eurorack. It’s simple to use with a dedicated knob or switch for each parameter, giving you immediate access to all the controls that really matter in the world of polyphonic pads and stabs.
No presets, no menus, just a good honest tactile experience that puts pure sound synthesis at your fingertips.”
Features:
7 oscillator supersaw per voice
3 oscillator syncable wave shaped square/pulse
3 oscillator detuned tonewheel organ
8 chord memory controlled by cv/gate
Detune control with unison/5th/sub octave sweet spots
3 filter types: lowpass, notch and highpass
Built in high quality 24bit 96khz reverb
Poly Cinematic can be played polyphonically via MIDI, or monophonically over CV/Gate. As a monophonic module, it can play one of 8 chord stacks, selectable using CV control.
