The Synclavier Regen is not just any sound generator, but a piece of music history. The purely digital FM synthesizer was originally developed by Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, USA and sold in various versions starting in 1979. However, production was discontinued about 30 years ago for economic reasons. The reincarnation of this legend is the Synclavier Regen. This is adapted to the requirements of our time and is furthermore much more compact and cheaper than the now museum-ready original model.

With the size of a briefcase, the new version can easily be taken to any stage or to Studio. The colour display, a touch control and the audio connections on the back ensure a modern operation and can be connected to further equipment. A master keyboard can be connected via USB according to today's standards. In addition to the host USB port (DAW integration), there are four other USB ports and an SD card slot. The output signal is provided via balanced XLR jacks or unbalanced jack sockets.

Technically, however, the Syclavier Regen is clearly ahead of its "great-grandfather from the 70s", even though it is based on the DSP engine of the Synclavier II. The maximum 98-voice synthesizer is 12-fold multitimbral (simultaneous layering of up to 12 tones) and brings with it multiple synthesis modes. In additive synthesis, 24 harmonics can be controlled, while in subtractive synthesis, designed for rain, PCM squares, super sawtooths or noise waveforms can be generated. furthermore, the use of samples as carrier waveforms is possible via a dedicated envelope control. The 250 included timbre presets illustrate the breathtaking possibilities of the device (two additional libraries are also included). For each timbre, 24 LFOs and 24 envelopes are available, which the developers in the early years of digital technology probably hardly dared to dream of. The user makes a "time travel with high-tech means".

Dynamic effects can be applied to each individual sound, which are layered as an overall sound. Besides MPE, polyphonic aftertouch is also supported. The on-board tools also include a modulation section and other effects, and full control over the shaping of the sound image. The desktop case with its colour screen and the well-sorted knob sections allows an intuitive workflow, so there are hardly any limits to your own creativity.
