Macbeth Micromac-D

Up for sale is one of the best desktop analogue synthesizers, the

amazing MacBeth Micromac-D.

The synth is in mint condition,bought it 1,5 years ago from

schneidersladen.de,kept it in a non smoking studio.

Here is a description from schneidersladen.de

OVERVIEW

The Micromac-D is a small and powerful, fully analog standalone desktop

synthesizer. It is the expanded version of the Eurorack module Micromac-R

including the Kenton MIDI-Interface and some extra features. Unlike his

competitors it has three voltage controlled oscillators and a classic Moog

lowpass filter, as a tiny desktop synth it could become indeed the

bonsai-version of the* M5* the huge MacBeth synthesizer!

DETAILS

The desktop version of the Micromac has not just CV and gate inputs to play

the synth but also a MIDI/CV interface from Kenton, who stand for very

reliable and stable interfaces .. and a few news with the additional LFOs:

3VCOs: VCO1 and 2 have saw, pulse, triangle and sine waveforms and the

pulse width can be voltage controlled by external CVs. A low frequency

noise with level control is available as well. VCO 1 can hard sync VCO2.

VCO3 can be used as a modulation oscillator and can be disconnected from

the master CV. Modulation targets are filter cutoff frequency and/or pitch

of VCOs1and2. All VCOs have individual outputs, coarse and fine frequency

controls, separate CV inputs for controlling frequency and pre-filter level

controls.

The filter is a Moog 24dB lowpass filter. It´s input is a mixture of all

three VCOs and noise. The cutoff frequency can be controlled by the first

envelope generator as well as by an external CV. The filtertracking is

switchable between off / half / full (0%, 1V/oct and 1.5V/oct).

The envelopes are ADSRs with a switchable release parameter thats time is

depending on the decay parameter, just like the Minimoog. The filter

envelope can be also used to control VCO2´s pitch what sounds great when

VCO2 is synchronised. Furthermore you can invert this envelope´s

characteristic. The second envelope modulates the VCA. If an external CV is

patched to the VCA the internal modulation is broken up. A momentary button

allows for manual triggering of the envelopes
