Description
MicroMonsta 2 is a brand new synth design based on our critically acclaimed MicroMonsta synthesizer.
Despite the fact they share the same name, they are different in every way: brand new hardware with much more powerful dsp, upgraded switches and encoders, new low profile sexy aluminum enclosure, different internal architecture and updated algorithms. Everything has been re-done from scratch. It is also USB powered and the output can drive a pair of headphones.
In the end, we believe it’s better in every way, it looks better, it sounds better, has more sound shaping possibilities and is easier to use.
Features:
∙ 2 x 6 voices of polyphony ∙ 3 oscillators, 1 multimode filter, 3 envelopes, 3 LFOs, 10 modulation slots and 2 operators per voice (lag and mult) ∙ 12 « analog » oscillator types + 4 FM-able oscillators for OSC1 ∙ 12 « analog » oscillator types + 8 multisampled wavetables for OSC2 and OSC3 (FM source) ∙ 8 filter types with FM ∙ Per voice and per oscillator detuning options for analog character ∙ Deep modulation matrix ∙ Delay + reverb (per program)
