Knobcon 22: Artisan Electronics Iliad Four Voice Or More

video upload by sonicstate

"Based on the Nucelus voice card - 3 osc, 8pole multimode filter, 4 LFOs 4 Envelopes, the Iliad is a four voice poly (expandable up to 16).
Each voice has a single analog, plus two digital Osc with wavefolding and many other modulation points.
Its still in development and we weren't able to hear much of it today. There are demos of the Nucleus available (and you can buy it) on the @Mike @ Artisan channel
The Iliad is going to be built to order (he thinks around 20 units a year).
The four voice base setup will be around $3400 with and extra $400 a voice."

See the Artisan and Knobcon labels below for more.

Iliad Multitimbral Demo

"Iliad gets its sound effects and multi-timbral modes...
And a few other tricks
Before a final hardware and software upgrade.

This a direct line recording with no additional effects.

Yes, my playing is no Emerson or Wakefield, but hey, they were not engineers either :)"

Oscillator 3 is digital and has morphable wavetables (amongst other things)
Oscillators 1 and 2 are Analog and add depth and texture to the sound"
