Future Retro Vectra Synthesizer

Introducing the Vectra, a revolutionary synthesizer that embodies both tradition and innovation, meticulously crafted for the discerning musician. Let’s delve deeper into its features:

1. Oscillators: The Vectra boasts four digital oscillators, guaranteeing impeccable tuning stability. These oscillators can generate both virtual analog and digital waveforms. Key features include oscillator Sync, PWM, Phase Slice, Fade, independent glide times, constant beat detuning, and paraphonic voice modes. Additionally, they support FM, AM, and ring-modulation, supplemented with dedicated LFOs, envelopes, and VCAs. These specifications make the Vectra’s oscillators truly unparalleled.
2. Sound Sources: In addition to the oscillators, Vectra provides white and pink noise sources, ensuring diverse soundscaping possibilities.
3. Mixer: The unique four-channel mixer allows for a balanced mix of multiple sources, with manual joystick control, automated vector mixing, and mixer modulation capabilities.
4. LFOs: Choose from over 500 waveforms with the five LFOs. Their versatility extends from sub-audio frequencies to audio ranges. They can sync, track keyboard notes, or even be frequency modulated, functioning as LFOs, complex envelopes, or even audio-rate oscillators.
5. Envelopes: The six morphing envelopes are a game-changer. Each envelope supports a range of features, from initial Delay to Release, with ultra-precise timings. Notably, these envelopes can morph and modulate, providing two distinct values for each envelope stage.
6. Filters: The analog multimode filter supports six primary types, with options to define self-resonance and mimic the unique EMS VCS filter modulation. It also tracks keyboard notes and has dedicated modulators.
7. Analog VCA: Before the audio reaches you, it’s shaped by the analog VCA, which has its own dedicated morphing envelope.

Designed with inspiration from iconic synthesizers, the Vectra is not a mere imitation but a unique self-contained instrument. It spans a vast sonic range, from vintage analog tones to cutting-edge digital timbres, be it bass, leads, solos, percussion, or ambient sounds. With approximately 500 internal signal routings and 256 storable sound parameters, it’s like having a potent semi-modular synthesizer at your fingertips. Experience the future of sound with the Vectra!
