MARS Tube Synthesizer: Space solo


video upload by Eternal Engine EMI

"Hello guys! You've been asking for a long time, and I finally got around to recording the tube synthesizer MARS through a line-in. Sorry I couldn't do it earlier; there was a lot of organizational work to handle in these challenging times. This is just a small first attempt."

A few pics and details follow. You can find additional posts featuring the MARS Tube Synthesizer here.



Polyphonic synthesizer based on vacuum tubes.

MARS - the first polyphonic synthesizer based on vacuum tubes. The power and flexibility of oscillators based on the famous R-2R DAC TDA1387, combined with the original fully tube audio path based on the APPARATUS synthesizer circuit, allow you to create a wide range of sounds from punchy aggressive FM leads and acid basslines to soft classic pads and strings. The synthesizer supports full software control and easily integrates into any DAW using the original plugin. All synthesizers are assembled by hand and produced in limited quantities.
