"Everything is 100 per cent functional on the unit, and it sounds great: big, fierce, and full of analog grit...as you probably know, the filters are analog and full of wonderful character. This synth really stands out among current and vintage instruments for its very distinctive and powerful tone.

The synth was serviced by the Analog Lab/Elektron a couple of years ago, so it should give many years of maintenance-free operation. There is a little bit of tape residue on the exterior from when the unit was serviced, but otherwise its looking very good cosmetically."

Futureretro Transient and Revolution at the Synth Expo SXSW 2017

Published on Mar 20, 2017 FutureRetroSynths

"Here's some footage filmed at the Synth Expo SXSW 2017. 2x Orb sequencer units were triggering 2x Transient drum modules, while the Revolution synced to the Orb and provided the baseline.

Unfortunately the volume levels were mixed on headphones in a noisy environment so apologies for the Revolution being a bit loud in parts."

Futureretro Transient drum module - playing with presets

Published on Mar 20, 2017 FutureRetroSynths

"During the SXSW Synth Expo we shot some footage while playing with some of the Preset sounds currently in the Transient drum module. Eventually there will be 216 preset sounds to get users started quickly, and for use as templates when creating your own custom sounds that can be stored in any of the 40 user memory locations.

Listen to presets like CL-CL-CLAPS, ZAP!, and SPIKEPHASE… and notice the humanization the Transient provides to ordinary samples.

All sounds recorded direct from the Transient output, no further effects have been applied."
