Analogue Solutions Maximus 4V | Playing and Live Sequencing w/ Drum Machine

video upload by Analogue Solutions

"In this video, we're showcasing the Maximus 4V in action—live sequencing, sound design, and onboard processing all handled within a single analogue powerhouse. Four independent sequencers are running simultaneously on the Maximus 4V, each controlling different parts of the patch. The Maximus is also supplying the master clock to the Arturia DrumBrute, keeping everything in tight sync.

Four synth voices are brought in and out of the mix in real time using the built-in stereo mixer, allowing for hands-on performance and fluid arrangement. To shape the sound further, onboard effects are introduced via the dedicated effects section, with modulation and space controlled through the right-side fader bank.

All sound sources and sequencing are generated by the Maximus 4V and DrumBrute—no external MIDI, DAW, or backing tracks. Just pure, live analogue control."

Maximus 4V Polyphonic Synthesizer 4-Part Sequence w/ Onboard Spring Reverb

video upload by Analogue Solutions

"This video showcases a single sequence on the Maximus 4V polyphonic synthesizer, operating as a fully self-contained analogue workstation. Each of the four voices has its own dedicated sequencer, allowing for four independent patterns to run simultaneously.

Voices are introduced one by one through the onboard stereo mixer. The universal cutoff is manually modulated using the far-left controller knob, while the right-side sliders control FX levels per voice.

Toward the end, the main voices are dialed back to highlight the built-in effects and delay in isolation."

Analogue Solutions 4 Voice Maximus Polysynth - Maximus 4V

video upload by Analogue Solutions

Follow up to the 8 voice Maximus.

"We are thrilled to share some initial sound samples from the Maximus 4V polyphonic synthesizer. We've included a variety of sound types, but given the vast sonic possibilities and features of the Maximus, demos will need to be spread across several sessions to fully grasp the scope of what this synthesizer can achieve."

"*WHAT IS MAXIMUS?*

Tom Carpenter is excited to introduce Maximus, an extraordinary new mega-polysynth inspired by the dawn of analogue synths. It is more than a powerful analogue ‘workstation’ - it is also a piece of art, architecture, and exquisite studio furniture.

Although we label this as a polysynth, it is so much more. We can't think of a single label to assign to this synth since it transcends traditional categories.

When you think of a polysynth, you might imagine flat synths with one set of controls that manage all voices equally. By giving Maximus independent controls for every voice, you have the freedom to create unique styles of poly sounds that are impossible on traditional polysynths, whether they are hardware or software. You can dial up ‘traditional’ poly sounds (pads, etc.) or create something unimaginably different.

Because you can never dial up each voice completely identically, standard poly pads will sound superbly vintage.

All the voice and modulation circuits are, of course, 100% analogue. We purposely avoided digital components, aside from the digital needed for MIDI and the mini-sequencers.

This synth is purely for those who want it just as it was in the 1970s - but new, with parts still in production, for those who want a synth that could have been built in the 70s.

There are no gimmicks - this is pure synthesiser - a huge sound enclosed in a solid metal case wrapped in solid hardwood. No expense has been spared to bring this incredible machine to life.

Synthesisers like this only come around once in a decade, or possibly, a generation."

Analogue Solutions Maximus | A True Polyphonic Synthesizer

video upload by Analogue Solutions

"Here are several sound demos and examples of the Maximus polyphonic synthesizer.

We have included a variety of sound types, but given the vast sonic possibilities and features of the Maximus, demos will need to be spread across several sessions to grasp the scope of what this synthesizer can achieve.

This video includes examples of warm pads, sequenced chords, leads, fifths, bass lines, multi-part performances, and combo keys (bass + pads)."

Analogue Solutions Maximus Dawless Multi-Part Performance Synthesizer

video upload by Analogue Solutions

"The Analogue Solutions Maximus synthesizer is more than a standard polyphonic synthesizer, it's also an analogue workstation capable of full performance pieces, lush soundtracks, heavy-hitting percussion, and just about any other analogue sound you can imagine.

Here, the Maximus is shown with its 8 sequencers firing different sounds, textures, and percussion. Each part is brought in separately using the stereo mixer.

Live play is also included, using 2 of the 8 voices of this synthesizer."

Analogue Solutions Maximus Synthesizer | Warm Resonant Pad

video upload by Analogue Solutions

"Here's another example of the Analogue Solutions Maximus synthesizer acting as a traditional polysynth, where voices are duplicated and played as traditional chords.

You can hear the subtle (or not-so-subtle) character differences in tone, pitch, and timbre in the individual voices, which adds character warmth and width to the overall sound.

Onboard spring reverb and echo (per voice) further add depth and space to this warm pad.

LFO is modulating cutoff."

dual octaver

video upload by e j

via Optotronics

"The octaver is a great addition to the dual CEM VCO module (the square wave output should be routed to the pulse input).

It's based on the original Thomas Henry's VCO Maximus. It is a perfect tool for generating additional musical fifth or suboctave tones. Moreover octaver 2 input is connected to the output of the octaver 1 for additional divisions! Of course you can use them separately as well. The great thing is that this module allows you to create very interesting soundwaves and rhytms...

According to Thomas Henry : 'The pulse signal is routed to an XOR/flip-flop arrangement which generates an additional musical fifth or suboctave tone added in. You can think of this in terms of harmonics, or if you wish, as a definite harmony playing in tandem, e.g., a C note with a G note mixed in.

The pulse output from the CEM3340 is sent to Schmitt trigger to sharpen up the signal a bit. The firmed up pulse then goes to switch 'interval' which lets you choose between the addition of a fifth or an octave derived pitch. If numbers are your bag, then think of these as divide-by-1.5 and divide-by-2, respectively. On the far end, switch 'octave select' can further halve things to divide-by-3 and divide-by-6, i.e., a fifth and an octave one octave lower yet.

Polarity switch lets you add or subtract the subdivided signal from the original pulse, effectively doubling the number of waveforms possible. The output of the flip-flops is sent to one side of the blend pot, while the other side t is fed by an isolated version of the original pulse.'"

Analogue Solutions Maximus Polysynth | Bass Chords Split Patch Demo

video upload by Analogue Solutions

"Here's an example of a split bass and chord patch on the Maximus polysynth. We say "split", when in fact, this is voice assignment and programming as follows:

Maximus is utilising the onboard sequencers in voices 1 & 2 to modulate and step the filter on the lower, resonant bass sound (left hand).

As all of the synth voices are independent, sequencer settings per voice can be set similarly, or, vastly different from one another depending on your desired direction.

Voices 3-6 handle the voices of the live chords (right hand). Each voice is set similarly (but not exactly!) to one another.

Additionally, each voice can be its own instrument, percussion, lead, or whatever your imagination holds."

Analogue Solutions Maximus Polysynth as an Analogue Workstation (In Realtime)

video upload by Analogue Solutions

"Although we label Maximus as a polysynth - it is so much more. And because of this, we can’t think of an appropriate label.

Here is a quick demo of Maximus functioning as an 8-voice analogue workstation (utilising 8 onboard sequencers), mixed by the onboard stereo mixer. You can effectively create entire bodies of music with Maximus should that be your goal.

Alternatively, you can create the biggest speaker-challenging unison sound imaginable -- or develop the phatest, most detuned pads.

When you think of a polysynth you think of flat synths with one set of controls that control all voices equally. By giving Maximus independent controls for every voice, you have more freedom to create unique styles of poly sounds impossible on traditional polysynths, whether they are hardware or software. You can dial up ‘traditional’ poly sounds (pads etc) or have something unimaginable different.

Standard poly pads will sound superbly vintage because you can never dial up each voice identically."

What is Analogue Solutions Maximus?

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Analogue Solutions has done it again.. gone and made another MASSIVE synth. Maximus is its first poly synth... and what a synth.

Here's a review and demo showing how all 8 voices are almost a complete synth including their own sequencer, with global control ensuring it can work as a poly.

I've been having too much fun using it like an 8 track analogue workstation!
