TRAX RetroWave MIDI-Controlled Analogue Synthesizer, Monophonic Synth

Published on Oct 1, 2012 by traxcontrols

"The TRAX RetroWave desktop monosynth was designed for musicians who want the warmth and raw power of classic analogue sound, created by a real analogue instrument, as opposed to a digital system or computer emulation. This compact unit is great for use in studios, with your home computer programs, in live performances, and for creating sound effects for film, TV and theatre.

In this video, you will hear just a small selection of the sounds the unit is capable of - many others are available, and some no doubt have yet to be discovered!

True analogue oscillators, filter, sample and hold, noise generator, VCA and signal path

Log VCO with square, ramp, triangle and sine outputs, and PWM control of square wave

Two triangle and square Low Frequency Oscillators with waveshape controls

Built-in MIDI to CV unit, with 5V gate and velocity output, 1V/octave CV response

Built-in overdrive circuit for epic distortion effects

No menus, no software, just switch on and play
