DONNER ESSENTIAL L1 + KB-32M - No talking demo ‪@Donnermusic_Official‬


video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hi everyone,

I’m beyond excited to introduce you my "No talking demo" of the Donner Essential L1 — a fully analog, monophonic subtractive synthesizer inspired by the legendary Roland SH-101.

In this video, you’ll hear the raw sound of the instrument with no voiceover and no unnecessary processing — just pure analog tones, basslines, sequences, leads and textures created directly from the synth.

The Donner Essential L1 features:

◉ Fully analog signal path;
◉ VCO based on the classic 3340 chip;
◉ 5 waveforms: Sub, Pulse, Sawtooth, Triangle, Noise;
◉ 3109-style self-oscillating low-pass filter;
◉ 2 velocity-sensitive ADSR envelopes;
◉ LFO with 4 waveforms;
◉ Glide;
◉ VCA based on the 662 chipset;
◉ DRONE mode for ambient textures and external signal processing (via EXT IN);
◉ 64-step sequencer with 128 patterns;
◉ Arpeggiator with 5 playback modes and up to 3 octaves;
◉ CV/GATE, SYNC and MIDI connectivity;
◉ S2C (Snap2Connect) magnetic connection system;
◉ Optional KB-32M keyboard with 32 mini keys and OLED display;
◉ And much more...

The sound clearly pays tribute to the SH-101 character: iconic analog basses, sharp leads and punchy plucks — while also expanding into more modern and flexible sonic territory.

I received this synthesizer as a gift from Donner but as always all the sounds that you can hear in this demo reflect my real studio experience with the instrument."
