Unleash your creativity with the Michigan Synth Works Xena, a modern reimagining of the iconic Mutable Instruments Ambika synthesizer. Designed for musicians who crave versatility and precision, Xena boasts a robust combination of digital and analog features that cater to both experimental soundscapes and classic tones. This desktop synth is equipped with six voices, each with individual outputs, and two digital oscillators per voice, offering a diverse palette of 36 oscillator algorithms and wavetables. A sub-oscillator can be configured as a transient generator, adding further depth to your creations.

Xena’s standout feature is its compatibility with various voice cards, including the original SMR, 4P, and SVF filters, allowing you to tailor the sound to your exact needs. The inclusion of the AS3109 filter chip, a modern reissue of the legendary Roland filter, ensures a warm, rich sound that balances the digital precision of the oscillators. With pre-filter overdrive and a bit-crusher effect, you can add texture and grit to your music, pushing your sonic boundaries.

The intuitive interface, complete with an LCD screen, allows for easy navigation and parameter adjustments. The modulation matrix, boasting 14 slots and 4 modifiers, provides extensive control over your sound, while the three ADSR envelopes and four LFOs (including one voice-level LFO) offer detailed shaping options. Whether you’re layering sounds in six-voice polyphony or crafting intricate sequences with the built-in arpeggiator and sequencers, Xena is a powerhouse of musical potential.
