Description

Specs: The MFB SYNTH Pro (formaly MFB SYNTH 8) has three analog VCOs per voice, which can produce saw, pulse, and triangle waveforms. There’s also ring modulation and noise. All three VCOs can be frequency modulated, and oscillators 2 and 3 can sync to OSC 1. For a thick vintage sound, the VCOs use analog circuitry and components that resemble circuit designs of the 1970s. But there’s also a selectable DCO mode to control the oscillators’ tuning digitally, in case you run into tuning problems or are going after that 80s DCO sound.

The SYNTH 8 has two analog filters with different designs and characteristics. There’s a 24 dB low pass, and a 12 dB multi-mode filter, with the latter featuring an OTA design. The filters can be wired in series or parallel, and there’s a knob for blending their outputs. For modulation, the SYNTH Pro has two LFOs and three envelopes. Envelopes 1 and 2 are loopable ADSRs, while envelope 3 is a simple AD. All of the modulators are digital. This also applies to the SYNTH Pro’s effects section.

Price and availability: MFB says that the SYNTH Pro should be available in the fall of 2019. The price will be 1080,-€ in Europe (including 19% VAT). Not bad at all! The synth also has a step sequencer / arpeggiator, which seems to be comparable to the Dominion 1

Critic Reviews

Sonic LAB - MFB Synth Pro - 8 Voice Desktop Poly

sonicstate.com

The MFB Synth Pro packs a punch with its 8-voice polyphony and innovative features like switchable VCO/DCO modes, yet it stumbles in practical usability. While its sound quality is undeniably rich and warm, the limitations in modulation routing and quirky user interface can frustrate. Users may find the effects generator underwhelming and the MIDI implementation a bit clunky, which detracts from the overall experience. The multi-timbral capabilities are a unique selling point, but the necessity for manual saving and lack of intuitive patch naming can be cumbersome. Ultimately, the Synth Pro is a solid choice for those seeking analog warmth, but its quirks may deter others looking for a more streamlined workflow.
