Future Retro Vectra Synthesizer: Tremolo Piano - in and out of sync

video upload by artoftravelogue

"This is a patch I created on the Vectra Synthesizer. In this patch, each of the four voices have its own LFO for amplitude control. They synchronize to the press of a key. If you don't press all notes at the same time when the XY joystick is in the down position, then they will synchronize, but be out of phase with each other. I use the XY joystick to change the speed of each LFO, which in turn creates a sound of free running LFOs that are not in sync with each other."

New Future Retro Vectra Synthesizer Details & Pre-Order

See the video here.

Details via Future Retro:

"We are excited to announce the new Vectra synthesizer, and are now taking pre-orders. The total cost of the unit will be $1,100 plus shipping. A deposit payment in the amount of $550 is required to pre-order this unit. Once the first 100 pre-orders are received, we will begin our parts ordering and production of this unit. The remaining balance of $550 plus shipping will be due once these units are ready to ship. We expect shipping to begin around Spring 2022. Although the time-frame will be determined by the availability of components and how quickly you get your pre-order in.
Please note, the deposit payment is non-refundable.

Introducing the Vectra Synthesizer...

The Vectra is a unique digital-analog hybrid synthesizer providing four oscillators, white and pink noise sources, four ring modulators, a four-channel mixer, five LFO’s, six morphing envelopes, six primary multimode analog filter types, a main analog VCA, and numerous internal modulation routings and VCA’s controlling modulation amounts.

It really is like having a powerful self-contained semi-modular synthesizer with approximately 500 internal signal routings, and around 256 storable sound parameters.

The Vectra's synthesis architecture is designed to allow the greatest flexibility in recreating multiple synthesis techniques of the past while introducing several new innovations and methods.

The oscillators are digital as this provides the highest degree of tuning stability, while allowing both traditional virtual analog waveforms and 500 digital waveforms. With features like oscillator Sync, PWM, our new waveform Phase Slice, and Fade features, independent glide times per oscillator, constant beat detuning, monophonic and eight paraphonic voice modes, not to mention FM, AM, Ring-modulation, and dedicated LFO’s, Envelopes, and VCA’s per oscillator really make these oscillators a power house.

The four-channel mixer is unique in that it provides an even balance when mixing multiple sources, either manually with the joystick, or applying automated vector mixing, or mixer modulation.

The five LFO’s provide 500+ waveforms to choose from, with their frequency spanning from sub-audio to well into the audio range. Their frequency can be stationary or track keyboard notes with glide. Waveforms can sync to any waveform phase at a note-on, and they can be frequency modulated as well. In short they can be used as LFO’s, complex envelopes, or audio rate oscillators.

The six morphing envelopes are really something else. With each envelope providing initial Delay, Attack, Hold, Decay, Sustain, Release, as well as a loop time when set to Repeat. Ultra precise and snappy, they provide envelope times from 0ms to 14.7 seconds per each stage. Each envelope provides multiple envelope curve selections, and can be one-shot, normal envelope types, or looping. And did you notice they can morph? Yes, that’s right! All six envelopes can morph and modulate between two individual values per each envelope stage.

Future Retro TRANSFER Eurorack Filter Module In the Works & Updated 777 in the Pipeline

via the Future Retro mailing list:

"The highly anticipated re-release of an updated 777 is still in the pipeline and we are expecting a late 2024 arrival. Also, in the coming months, you will also be notified of the release of the Eurorack mounted, TRANSFER filter. Stylistically matching the Trax and Transient, this filter is an expanded version of the analogue filter found in the Vectra.

We cannot provide any information concerning hard release dates or prices until the units are completed and ready to be shipped."
