We have presented the controls in a user friendly and familiar synth layout that, together with this manual and other resources, enable even the new guy to get great sounds.

SYNTH – PERCUSSION – AUDIO PROCESSOR

Ample is a compact analogue synthesizer. Analogue - as in really analogue. Aside from the MIDI chip (which has to be digital), everything else is totally analogue using real transistors and op-amps. There are no CPU stabilised and quantised circuits, no DCOs, no digital LFOs and no digital EGs, as found on other so called analogue synths. The circuitry is based on designs dating back to the mid-1970s. So Ample has a genuine old sound.

Analogue Solutions Ample 3-VCO Desktop Analog Synthesizer with Patch Pins

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this eBay listing

"The Analogue Solutions Ample is a powerhouse desktop synthesizer that combines the best elements from across the Analogue Solutions lineup—like a “greatest hits” of their iconic gear. It draws its sound engine from the Fusebox, features patch points from the Concussor Eurorack series, integrates the pin matrix from the Vostok, includes the analog echo from Dr. Strangelove, and borrows the sequencer and touch pads from the Generator—all while maintaining its own distinct sonic identity.

With three analog VCOs, dual LFOs, and dual envelope generators, Ample offers deep modulation possibilities. Its rich, analog 24dB/oct low-pass filter, ring modulator, sub-oscillator, and noise circuit provide a wide range of textures, from classic analog warmth to experimental tones.

The patch pin matrix enables modular-style routing without the clutter of cables, offering flexibility and exploration in a compact form factor. Whether used standalone or as part of a larger modular setup, Ample delivers hands-on, vintage-style synthesis with modern versatility."

Analogue Solutions AS500-SEQ Driving a Vintage ARP Odyssey | 64-Step CV Sequencer Demo

video upload by rezfilter

"AS500-SEQ connected to a vintage ARP Odyssey.
It’s sending gate and CV to the Odyssey and clock to the Arturia DrumBrute. Tempo and start/stop are controlled directly from the sequencer.

X, Y, and Jump switches are triggered live to modify the sequence. CV is also patched into the Odyssey’s Pedal input for subtle shifts.

Glide from the AS500-SEQ is active throughout.
The DrumBrute’s audio is fed into the Odyssey’s External Input."

Ample Synthesizer: Sweeping Cutoff with Built-In Echo
video upload by rezfilter

"This patch on the Ample Synthesizer features a multi-oscillator sequence running via its onboard sequencer. The resonance is set high to highlight the harmonic character of the filter as I sweep the cutoff frequency. You’ll hear how the onboard echo effect adds depth and movement to the sound. I’m also using the touchpads, each preset to a different cutoff value via its dedicated pot, allowing for quick and expressive tonal changes throughout the sequence."

Ample Synthesizer Sequenced by 64-Step Analog Sequencer (AS500-SEQ)

video upload by rezfilter

"Here’s a quick, dawless jam using the Ample Synthesizer and the AS500-SEQ 64-step sequencer. It’s a 3-oscillator patch where two of the oscillators are getting their pitch modulated separately by the sequencer, giving it a nice moving feel. You’ll hear some GLIDE on one of the oscillators at the start — making the notes slide around a bit — and later I dial it back for a tighter sound."

Ample Synth - Dark Industrial Patch with Filter Overdrive | Analogue Solutions

video upload by rezfilter

"Dark industrial patch on the Ample Synth from Analogue Solutions. The bassline steps in an uneven pattern while the cutoff is moved by hand. Pitch shifts come in through the touch pads, patched into the matrix. A second oscillator gets added to the filter, and later the envelope generators tighten up the shape. Nothing polished — just a heavy, gritty sound built straight from the hardware."

Analogue Solutions Ample Synthesizer | Selected Patches

video upload by rezfilter

"Here’s a selection of patches created entirely on the Analogue Solutions Ample synthesizer — no external effects, no added distortion. Just pure Ample.

Ample combines the best elements from several AS products:

-The rich sound engine of Fusebox
-The jack patch points of Concussor Eurorack
-The patch pin matrix of Vostok
-The built-in echo from Dr Strangelove
-The sequencer and CV touch pads from Generator

While it draws from these classics, Ample has a character all its own.

It can be as simple or as deep as you want it to be.

Ample is packed with a wide and diverse range of controls, giving even the most experienced synthesists endless possibilities through both knobs and patch sockets.

At the same time, its familiar layout makes it easy for newcomers to jump in and start creating powerful, musical sounds — especially when paired with this manual and other resources."

Analogue Solutions Ample Synth | Touchpad Synthpop Lead

video upload by rezfilter

"Ample’s built-in sequencer is doing the heavy lifting in this synthpop-ready lead patch, driving a rhythmically pulsing pattern with just the right amount of motion. The touchpad brings the performance to life by modulating both oscillator pitch and filter frequency in real time, adding expressive nuance to an otherwise tightly quantized sequence. All routing and modulation are handled directly in the matrix, keeping things flexible and intuitive."

Ample Synthesizer from Analogue Solutions | Resonant Touch Bass

video upload by rezfilter

"Here’s a deep, resonant bass patch crafted on the Ample Synthesizer. The cutoff frequency is being modulated in real time using the synth’s touchpad interface, which has pre-assigned values mapped to key modulation points. On the Ample, each touchpad can be “pinned” to virtually any parameter, offering expressive, hands-on control over your sound. In this patch, that means fluid, tactile shaping of the filter cutoff, adding movement and character to the bass."

Analogue Solutions Ample Review

video upload by Michael Manning

"Ample is a new synth by renowned designer Tom Carpenter of Analogue Solutions. I would describe it as being quintessentially Analogue Solutions. It has that iconic, luxurious sound that has carried through every machine Tom has created, this time coming with a particularly beautiful LPF and an array of generous interface and performance controls.

I spent a month with this on loan from AS and enjoyed my time with it. While possibly not my favourite AS synth (that for me is the Impulse Command), this is certainly a synth worth your attention if you're a fan of vintage tones bursting with vibrancy and soul."

Analogue Solutions announces availability of Ample as ANALOGUE 3 VCO PATCH PIN SYNTHESISER blending best of past and present products

SHATTERFORD, UK: after a successful soft-launch at SynthFest 2023 in Sheffield, UK on October 7, British boutique electronic instruments innovator Analogue Solutions is proud to announce availability of Ample to a wider audience as a desktop-friendly ANALOGUE 3 VCO PATCH PIN SYNTHESISER — beautifully blending the best elements of several of its past and present products to form a truly analogue modular system skilfully presented as a precision- engineered electronic musical instrument in a spacious (550mm x 262mm x 83mm) steel and aluminium case that also embraces ergonomic features such as VESA mount compliance, should desktop space be at a premium, all of which adds up to being a perfect fit for its appropriate appellation — as of November 29…

Ample adheres to Analogue Solutions’ tried-and-tested no-compromise construction formula, featuring a full rugged steel and aluminium case — no plastic mouldings here; high-quality metal potentiometers with smooth action, fully sealed against dust intrusion; high-quality knobs with spun aluminium caps; high-quality double-sided circuit boards; high-quality 16-bit DAC (Digital-to-Analogue Convertor) for stable MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) to CV (Control Voltage) conversion; stable analogue oscillators; gold-plated touch plates; plus true retro analogue voice and modulation circuits to give an authentic retro sound. Since Analogue Solutions’ innovative instruments are applauded for proudly possessing a truly vintage sound — synthesisers featuring fully-analogue audio paths with analogue LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators) and EGs (Envelope Generators), in other words, Ample is in good company as an ANALOGUE 3 VCO PATCH PIN SYNTHESISER.

But by beautifully blending the best elements of several past and present products — namely, the sound elements of Fusebox fabricated originally as an aptly-named, three-VCO (Voltage-Controlled Oscillator) true analogue monophonic synthesiser that favourably fuses the company’s characterful vintage sound with an advanced choice of modulation and melodic possibilities in a beautifully-built box; the jack points introduced in the long-discontinued line of Concussor modular synth drum modules (themselves dating back to the time when Analogue Solutions was the third company to start producing Eurorack format-compatible modules, magical as that might sound in today’s ever-expanding era of thousands of Eurorack modules being produced by hundreds — if not thousands — of developers, both bigger and smaller); the patch pin matrix introduced in the long-lasting Vostok semi-modular synthesiser series (that knowingly nodded and winked at its Russian ‘roots’ from a visual standpoint); the lo-fi echo featured in Dr Strangelove as a small and affordable desktop signal processor (that ushered in Analogue Solutions’ so-called synthBlocks series); and last, but by no means least, the sequencer and CV touch plates introduced in Generator as a highly-versatile multi-channel analogue step sequencer — to form a truly analogue modular system skilfully presented as a precision-engineered electronic musical instrument is what really makes Ample stand out amongst Analogue Solutions’ present-day products.

Put it this way: while Ample shares all of those features from some of Analogue Solutions’ ‘greatest hits’, it still has a sound of its own thanks to the circuits on offer: OSCILLATING is handled by three analogue VCOs (Voltage-Controlled Oscillators), each providing a wealth of features and modulation choices, with the VCO3/LFO 1 legend visually highlighting that the third oscillator can easily be utilised as an LFO (with saw, square, and triangle wave modulation signals), while LFO2/SYNC has a triangle wave output to total two LFOs; the LP VCF (Voltage-Controlled Filter) section is anchored around a four-pole 24dB-per-octave low-pass filter; the VCA (Voltage-Controlled Amplifier) can be set to THRU so it is always ‘open’ (allowing Ample to be used as an effect processor); the two envelope generators — EG 1 and EG 2 — each offer full control over ATTACK, DECAY, SUSTAIN, and RELEASE; extensive modulation routing choices allow for a wide range of resultant sounds extending into percussion and ‘modular’ territory, further extended by patching with the jack sockets and pin matrix; MIDI is intentionally kept simple so users can concentrate on creating new sounds and making music, with all- important control over filter cutoff available via MIDI Velocity; patchable CV control sockets allow the synth in question to effectively be rewired to make new sounds, as well as easily patched together with external Eurorack and other modular systems; the PATTERNATOR is a vintage-style 16-step sequencer; the six touch plates each output a set voltage, so can be used to pitch notes or as modulation signals — either way, they are truly inspirational in action; the pin matrix represents a neat (and flexible) way to patch the synth; and the ECHO section provides easy access to adding a little lo-fi echo or delay.

Audio applications abound when working with Ample as a synthesiser — excelling at analogue sound effects, as well as fat basses, screaming leads, and all manner of other crazy sounds associated with analogue synthesis; an effect processor — perfect for feeding external sounds through the onboard analogue filter and ECHO sections via external audio inputs; a drum synthesiser — suited to producing electronic percussion, including cymbal, hi-hat, kick, and snare sounds; and as a modular synthesiser — partially pre-patched, but with such a wide range of modulation routing possibilities that it is almost as versatile as a full-blown modular system, and capable of producing the same types of sounds but dispensing with telephone exchange-like cabling confusion in favour of making space-saving connections with removable coloured pins, yet still providing a flexible selection of patch sockets so it can quickly be re-patched into itself or to/from external Eurorack and other modular systems.

It is also worth noting in conclusion that while Ample can be used with an external MIDI keyboard or DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), or an external CV keyboard or analogue sequencer, it is equally at home being worked with on its own using its internal step sequencer or pitch played via its six-touch plate ‘keyboard’. Whatever way anyone chooses to work with Ample, it could conceivably be argued that it is the best desktop synth of all — Analogue Solutions-wise or otherwise!

Limited quantities of Ample are already available to purchase directly from Analogue Solutions for £1,999.00 GBP (excluding tax/VAT) via its dedicated webpage (https://www.analoguesolutions.com/ample) while stock will soon be arriving at selected dealers (https://www.analoguesolutions.com/dealers).
