well isn’t the Murmux Adept already beyond the Abyss, as far as capabilities? if they’re unveiling their “most ambitious synthesizer” yet, I doubt it would carry the name Abyss. could always be wrong though!

Murmux is pretty much Abyss 2.0 imo. Maybe they made a version of it that has a better form factor, a few less special features and design elements, but maybe more effects/voices, multitimbrality or a keyboard.

A few years ago there was a leak of an 8-voice Abyss V2 chassis that could be seen in a Dreadbox workshop tour. The project may have been cancelled, but it could also be this new synth.

I’m excited to see what it’s all about!

After all these years I still have both of my Abyss.
One is used daily and the other is stored.
I did an A/B between both a while back and neither
of them have the same sound even at the same settings.

These were the only Dreadbox products I ever bought.

So do we all agree that Artemis is the final product of what started as the Abyss 2 prototype? Or do you think there’s a chance they’re still working on that?

@MarkPigott: That’s really great! Were you ever tempted to get a Murmux or Artemis instead, so that you don’t have to mess with two Abyss any longer?

I think I called it a day for Dreadbox after the Abyss as they were so different.
I originally bought to create an 8 voice but they could not be set up to sound
8 notes consistently.

However they worked well as a stereo 2 VCO 4 voice, by running as a left panned right panned set.

And monster as an 8 VCO mono detuned mode.

I have had both since 2018 and as they are small they are easy to store
when they are not being used.
