Is this a new color or the lighting?
Itās the same black (or dark gray) under the lighting. Looks like SH 101+SEM+Matrix 12. Iām really struggling to choose between the two colors, they both look amazingly retro-futuristic.

I slept on this company because despite the beautiful design the super 6 didnāt seem interesting to me, but after watching that Sonicstate video itās impossible not to like this guy! And it sounds amazing.

Some āSuperā style sounds from the DMNO. That title tho, lol

cant waiiiit when does it release

I donāt quite understand how many stereo voices you can get out of this. On the super 6, if you want stereo voices you have to half the voice count from 12 to 6. On the DMNO, the filters can operate in stereo mode I believe. So does that mean you can have 8 voices of stereo oscillator into stereo filter?
Another question: when the play mode is set to play a single DMNO, do you have 8 voices?

If both engines are combined you get the full 8 voices in stereo or 4 binaural super voices. If they arent they are 4 stereo seperates EACH.
Thanks. Whatās the difference between a stereo voice and a binaural voice?

just be sure to check the taxes. I got double taxed in a county my address isnāt even in multiple times, so something is up with the system they use
As far as I understood: Binaural does basically the same as a stereo spread plugin. but already at the oscillator. it does not only pan them but does micro timeshifts to widen further the image. This halves the available voice count as the oscillators are alredy stereo and need to pass through a pair of filters (left & right)
That sucks. Fortunately I live in a state with no sales tax
Yeah I get that.
I think my confusion comes from the fact that the filters are described as dual or stereo. They can operate in a mono mode with the two filters in series or parallel, or they can also work as a stereo pair. Add to that the fact that oscillators can be stereo.
So does it work like this:
- You can have eight mono voices, each with a pair of mono oscillators and a pair of filters operating either in series or parallel. These eight voices can either be split into two separate timbres with four voices each, or a single timbre with eight voices.
- You can have eight stereo voices, each with a pair of stereo oscillators running through a single stereo filter, meaning the left channel has a single filter and the right channel has a single filter. As before, these eight voices can either be split into two separate timbres with four voices each, or a single timbre with eight voices. Orā¦
- You can have four binaural voices, each with whatever kind of oscillators with a pair of filters operating on each side, meaning the left channel has two filters (in series or in parallel) and so does the right. Now, these four voices can either be split into two separate timbres with two voices each, or a single timbre with four voices.
Is that right?
I donāt know for sure, but reading the specs (āFull Technical Specificationsā at DMNO | 8 Voice Polyphonic Binaural Analog-hybrid Synthesizer With Dynamic Signal Architecture) I noticed that in Binaural mode, the filters can only be set to stereo:
Filter connection mode can be set to parallel, stereo, or series. Parallel and series modes are turned off when the instrument is in Binaural mode.
My understanding is that the synth has 8-voices, and 8 filters, with each filter composed of 2 filter chips either in series or parallel. I think the synth can be stereo with 8-voices, even without binaural mode on, because the oscillators are stereo:
FPGA-based super-waveform oscillator core featuring a centroid oscillator and six āsisterā oscillators that can be dynamically de-phased in the stereo field to produce wide and thick single-oscillator sounds in āsuper modeā.
But in binaural mode, more parameters are paired and detuned / dephased relative to each other than just the oscillators. I imagine the voices must be more than just hard-panned left and right in binaural mode, otherwise I donāt see why the filter would need to be restricted to be in stereo in binaural mode.
i didnt read everything i detail here and maybe i misunderstand the question discussed here. but you can get binaural effects when offsetting and modulating the filter cutoff of left and right in a stereo filter.
edit: you can try this in autofilter in ableton. it sounds beautiful. offsetting the oscilators sound tricky to not getting a phased sound i imagine

Also not 100% sure but then it might be that compared to the single filter in the super 6, the voice count does not cut in half in binaural mode, only the filter switches from dual to single-stereo? then @digable-me 's āstereoā would already be binauralā¦
and yes Iāve heard the lfo 180Ā° phase shift left to right channel was also described as part of the binaural aspect. The ātechnicalā portion of binaural I think comes down to the micro-timeshifts in the stereo āsuperā oscillator simulating sound travel-delay from the left panned portion of the oscillator to the right ear and vice versa widening the stereo image as opposed to regular panningā¦
I just that mean since in mono mode, you can have 8 voices, each with 2-filters in serial, itās not clear why you couldnāt have 4 voices, each with 2-filters in serial in binaural mode. My only thought was that binaural mode specially requires stereo filters per voice to control the voice panning, rather than just mono voices hard panned left and right.

maybe they offset l&r in the stereo filter each voice. evey time a bit diffrent. you would get binaural like this
