A new HW synth from a Swedish boutique synth developer, Suonobuono. Very little has been revealed so far, except that it is to be unveiled the end of this month, September, at Roma Modulare 2024. ( post on the show )
The obligatory teaser video :
Stay tuned.
Speculation welcome.
Speculation welcome.
Since their only other product is a compressor, I’m going to speculate that they’ve figured out some polyphonic mode where each voice sidechains every other voice.
From the article:
Oscillators:
- Two wavetable/sampler oscillators and multiple vintage styles
- User wavetables and samples may be loaded from SD memory
- Oscillators support frequency modulation, ring modulation, sync, phase re-triggering and an additional noise source is provided
- A drift mode provides analog-style detuning
- Osc1 (wavetable) includes a sub-oscillator
- Osc2 (wavetable/sampler) can be routed to the VCF, to the same VCA as Osc1, or to its own VCA and envelope
Filters:
- Resonant analog filters (VCF) with self-oscillation and 8 filter types including a LP filter with analog post-filter distortion
- Original design based on a classic analog filter chip
- Filter drive, frequency modulation, adjustable tracking
VCA:
- Analog VCA including level control
Modulation:
- Three tempo-syncable LFOs per voice (can be set as common LFO for all voices) with key-trigger
- Three Envelopes per voice (Env1 is hard-wired to the VCF and Env2 is hard-wired to the VCA)
- Env3 can be assigned as modulation source and can be looped
FX:
- Two digital effects in series:
- Fx1 includes various chorus, delay and phaser models
- Fx2 includes '80s-inspired modulated reverbs
- Effect parameters can be edited
Other Features:
- Arpeggiator
- Polyphonic sequencer with parameters automation
- MPE support
- Binaural mode (halves polyphony)
- High quality anodised aluminium case
Article mentions 6 voice polyphony.
Looks pretty slick. No word on price yet. Hopefully we get some sound examples coming out of Roma Modulare on Saturday.
