***B-STOCK: Box damaged, product in perfect working order*** Like a greatest hits of recent Analogue Solutions synths, the Ample combines sound elements from the Fusebox with jack patch points, a patch pin matrix, plus sequencer and CV touch pads from the Generator, creating something new and unique. Supplier's Notes: Ample combines the best elements of several of Analogue Solutions' recent products. The sound elements of Fusebox Jack patch points of Concussor Eurorack Patch pin matrix of Vostok Echo from Dr Strangelove Sequencer and CV touch pads of Generator It shares all this yet still has its own sound! Ample can be as complex or as simple as you want it to be This synth has been given a large and diverse number of controls, that along side the patch sockets, will give even the best and experienced synthesist endless possibilities. This synth presents the controls in a user friendly and familiar synth layout that, together with this manual and other resources, enable even the new guy to get great sounds. Synth - Percussion - Audio Processor Ample is a compact analogue synthesizer. Analogue - as in really analogue. Aside from the MIDI chip (which has to be digital), everything else is totally analogue using real transistors and op-amps. There are no CPU stabilised and quantised circuits, no DCOs, no digital LFOs and no digital EGs, as found on other so called analogue synths. The circuitry is based on designs dating back to the mid-1970s. So Ample has a genuine old sound. Circuits included 3x Analogue Oscillators There are three analogue VCOs - each providing a wealth of features and modulation choices. VCO3 can easily be utilised as a LFO. 2x Analogue Low Frequency Oscillator LFO2(/Sync) has a triangle wave output. VCO3 can be used as an LFO and has Saw, Triangle and Square wave modulation signals. Analogue Filter Ample uses a four pole 24bB per octave low pass filter. Analogue Amplifier The VCA can be set to THRU so it is always 'open'. This allows Ample to be used as an effects processor. 2x Analogue Envelopes There are two EGs - each having full control over ATTACK, DECAY, SUSTAIN, and RELEASE. Modulation Great thought has been placed into modulation route choices, allowing a wide range of sounds to be produced, including percussion and 'modular' sounds further extended by patching with the jack sockets and pin matrix. MIDI MIDI is intentionally kept simple - so you can concentrate on making new sounds and making music - not getting tied up with SYSEX programming. You get the all important control over filter cut-off using MIDI Velocity. Patchable External CV Control Sockets Ample has many input and output audio and CV sockets - to allow the synth to be effectively re-wired to make new sounds. The sockets also enable it to be easily used with Eurorack and other modular systems. They can be patched together. Sequencer Ample has a vintage style 16 step sequencer. Touch Keys There are 6 touch keys that each output a set voltage. Use this to play the pitch or as modulation signals. A great tool for inspiration! Pin Matrix A neat way to patch the synth. Echo Nice lo-fi echo / delay.
