Designed with dual oscillators and four sub-oscillators this synth lets you craft dense layered tones perfect for rhythmic and harmonic exploration. A multi-mode resonant ladder filter enables precise shaping so you can dial in rich textures and warm resonance.With its built-in dual 4-step sequencer creating intricate evolving polyrhythms becomes easy while the 16 x 16 I/O matrix invites endless patching creativity. Offering full MIDI connectivity and compatibility the SPICE is ready to sync up seamlessly with any gear adding flexibility to your rig without needing patch cables for a spontaneous start. Hands-on analogue sound design The SPICE synthesizer’s pure analogue signal path is built on classic VCO VCF and VCA circuits delivering the unmistakable warmth and depth that only analogue can provide. The dual oscillators with square and sawtooth waves alongside four sub-oscillators open up vast tonal possibilities for basses leads and evolving textures. The stackable oscillators provide a unique pseudo-polyphonic experience with six voices making it a powerful choice for musicians who want to layer and build soundscapes in real time. Instant rhythm creation with dual sequencers The SPICE is designed for rhythmic creativity featuring a dual 4-step analog sequencer that enables intricate polyrhythmic sequences with ease. These built-in sequencers paired with a polyrhythm generator allow for fascinating grooves and shifting beats that bring your music to life. Manual and clock-syncable tempo controls make it easy to dial in the exact feel you want whether you’re performing live or syncing to external MIDI sources. Intuitive sound shaping with multi-mode filtering Equipped with a 24 dB multi-mode ladder filter the SPICE gives you the tools to refine and customise your sound with precision. The filter’s cutoff resonance and envelope controls allow for sweeping tonal shifts and the VCF envelope generator with adjustable attack and decay makes it easy to dial in expressive dynamics. Whether you’re crafting subtle textures or bold bass lines this filter offers the control you need. Flexible modular setup with vast patching options The semi-modular design of the SPICE combines flexibility with simplicity. Its 16 x 16 I/O matrix means you can experiment with complex patching integrating it with other modular equipment for an expanded setup. At the same time default routings allow you to get started instantly without patch cables. Multiple clocking options including MIDI and USB allow for easy syncing with your other devices making it a versatile tool for any setup.
