Sequential Pro 3 Paraphonic Hybrid Keyboard Synthesizer

Published on Mar 13, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"With analog and wavetable oscillators, three filters, endlessly intricate multitrack sequencer, Sequential instruments, the Pro 3 challenges the very notion of what a monosynth can be. For more about the Pro 3, read here: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/signal...

The Pro 3 is not beholden to any musical style—capable of everything from smooth leads to complete tracks of jarring, edgy rhythmic sequences, it is every bit monosynth as it is drum machine or destructive sound device. It offers two analog oscillators and one wavetable oscillator, which can each operate with relative independence: the option for three-note paraphony means that polyphonic textures and sequences can easily be coaxed out of this instrument.

The extensive modulation options, though, are what really brings it to life. It offers looping envelopes, LFOs, a 16-track modulation sequencer, a huge modulation matrix, and even assignable CV inputs and outputs. Paired with the velocity and aftertouch-capable keyboard and arpeggiator, this means that the Pro 3 can be played in a huge number of ways. So whether you're used to working with sequencers, modular synths, or keyboards, the Pro 3 can easily find a place in your setup."

The new dates for Musikmesse 2021 will be announced soon."

Critter & Guitari - Granular Freezer for Organelle

Published on Mar 13, 2020 Critter & Guitari

"Download patch here: https://www.critterandguitari.com/org...

This is one the original Organelle patches but we never got around to making a proper demo video until now. So here it is!

With Granular Freezer, the Organelle transforms audio input into a randomized grain cloud. Use the Aux button or footswitch to latch or 'Freeze' the current grain recordings. Use the keyboard to play the grains at musical pitches. You can play along with the frozen grains too. Unfreeze at any time to granularize new sounds!"
