Notesa quirky little synthesizer with an analog attitude and quasi-analog-behaviour soundwise with just eight potentiometers (two layers here) and just five(!) keyboard-keys, which are still scalable via the software(windows mac ipad). mentioning that software, there are also a few hidden features and possibilities to gain from that. it has USB, is stackable for polyphony, sounds brachial and seldomly hides its digital nature in spite the very warm - at times - sounding filter. remote-midi-master-keyboard is possible running the software and so are extarnal controllers. it sports two virtual oscillators - of course - unison by "ghost" oscillators(can do fixed chords!), also with slight tonal spread, a morph-filter(LP…BP…HP), PWM, FM, eight LFO waveforms, distortion, a delay, glide, the usual two (snappy) envelopes with inversion and 16 envelope presets, on-board octaveing, and, LbnL, 16 presets.
