4ms Ensemble Oscillator (Black)

Oscillatore polifonico a voce singola

L’Ensemble Oscillator è una voce polifonica unificata di sedici oscillatori complessi che combinano tecniche di sintesi additive, FM, distorsione di fase e wavefolding in nuovi modi non ortodossi. Quantizzando gli oscillatori su scale o serie di armoniche, l’Ensemble Oscillator consente di esplorare il confine sonoro tra accordi musicali e ricche trame in evoluzione. Crea facilmente un’ampia varietà di suoni che vanno da aggregati di onde sinusoidali pure a sintesi pulsar o toni armonici incontaminati e ampi accordi lussureggianti a ricchi droni sporchi e glitch rimbombanti. Le scale personalizzate possono essere “imparate” e salvate rapidamente utilizzando una tastiera CV o inserendo manualmente le note con i controlli.

L’Ensemble Oscillator è stato progettato da Matthias Puech e 4ms Company.

Specifiche Tecniche

Features

• 16 sine-based oscillators bound to intervals of a selected Scale
• 30 factory-programmed, user-writeable scales organized in three groups:
  • 12TET: all notes quantized to equal temperament, repeating over octaves
  • Octave: unquantized notes, repeating over octaves
  • Free: unquantized notes, repeating over the interval between the lowest and highest note
• A simple method to program (“Learn”) your own scales manually or with a CV/Gate keyboard
• Three Twist phase distortion effects
• Three Warp wave distortion effects
• Three algorithms of Cross FM for modulating the oscillators with each other
• Mono or stereo output with selectable panning algorithm
• Freeze button and jack to freeze the frequency of some of the oscillators, with selectable algorithm
• Two 1V/oct inputs: Pitch (non-quantized), and Root (quantized)
• High-accuracy, temperature-stable, eight octave range (-2V to +6V), can be calibrated to any keyboard
• Six bi-polar CV inputs (-5V to +5V)
• Two gate inputs for automated Learning and Freezing
