Analog synth sounds for the discerning aficionado
The Electribe•A mkII is a compact synthesizer that lets you create the
sounds and phrases indispensable for today's club scene, from warm and fat
analog synthesizer sounds to aggressively distorted sounds. Simply by turning
the knobs (which have been redesigned along with the chassis) you can tweak
analog sounds to your heart's content.
You can create sequence phrases consisting of two synthesizer parts, and save
the sound of each part together with its sequence phrase (maximum 64 steps)
as one of 256 patterns. Combinations of patterns together with knob movements
and other settings and saved as one of sixteen songs.
Cross Modulation and many new patterns have been added
The newly added Cross Modulation function lets the frequency (pitch) of oscillator
1 modulate the waveform of oscillator 2 at high speed, producing complex overtone
structures. By using cross modulation and the further-enhanced filter to add
sounds with high-frequency components you can create an even broader range
of sounds from bass to lead and sound effects.
The mkII also boasts a significantly expanded list of new preset patterns
that cover every type of dance music, from today's latest trance styles to
techno, house, two-step, electro, R&B, hip-hop, drum'n'bass, big beat,
IDM, trip-hop, and lounge.
