Information
To go further...
- Polyphonic: Ability to produce several notes simultaneously.
- MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression): MIDI protocol that allows advanced polyphonic expression, offering independent control over each note.
- Raw: Generally used to describe a raw and powerful sound quality, often associated with analog synthesizers.
- Morph: Smooth transitions between different waveforms or sound parameters (refers to the Greek god of sleep, Morpheus).
- Stereo: Sound reproduced with spatial separation, perceived through 2 channels (left and right).
- Ladder filter: Type of filter common in analog synthesizers, popularized by Robert Moog, which allows certain frequencies of the sound signal to be attenuated or reinforced.
- Steiner-Parker filter: A type of filter developed by Nyle Steiner and Tom Parker, offering distinct sonic characteristics.
- Modulation: Controlled change of sound parameters over time.
- Mod matrix: Interface allowing you to connect different modulation sources (such as LFOs, envelopes, etc.) to different sound parameters.
- Ribbon: Touch controller, often used to modulate different parameters on a synth.
- Sequencer: Allows you to create and control sequences of notes or sound parameters.
- Arpeggiator: Functionality of a synth that automatically plays a sequence of notes in a predefined pattern.
- Analog: technology using analog electronic components to create and manipulate sounds, as opposed to digital technology.
Spotlight on
Created in 1999, Arturia is a French brand specialized in the development of software, virtual instruments and electronic music instruments. Recent products include synthesizers that can substitute different modeled analog modules, such as a filter bank from one synth and an oscillator from another, to create new sounds, as well as drum machines that contain both models of old units and new hybrid systems. Their biggest successes are surely the Minimoog emulation, Jupiter 8V, CS-80, Prophet 5 but also their hybrid synths of the Analog Experience series. You like Funk, Disco, House music... the Arturia brand is made for you !
