The Polivoks (also occasionally referred to as the Polyvox; Russian: Поливокс) is a duophonic, analog synthesizer manufactured and marketed in the Soviet Union between 1982 and 1990. It is arguably the most popular and well-known Soviet synthesizer in the West, likely due to the uniqueness of both its appearance and sound.
Frequency modulation synthesis (or FM synthesis) is a form of sound synthesis whereby the frequency of a waveform is changed by modulating its frequency with a modulator. The (instantaneous) frequency of an oscillator is altered in accordance with the amplitude of a modulating signal. [1] FM synthesis can create both harmonic and inharmonic sounds.
Harmor is powered by an additive synthesis engine, similar to Image-Line’s synthesizer Morphine. [1] Although the different additive modules and controls found in Harmor can look similar to more conventional synthesizers that utilize subtractive synthesis, its sound generation engine differs in that it sums its partials later in the signal chain (right before the FX stage) compared to some ...
The supersaw is a waveform created by Roland for its JP-8000 and JP-8080 line of analog modeling synthesizers.It emulates the sound of multiple detuned sawtooth oscillators. . The waveform is described as a free-run oscillator whose shape resembles 7 sawtooth oscillators detuned against each other over a period of t
The polyphonic features of this synthesizer are of particular interest as polyphony was rare in synthesizers of the time. The square-wave based polyphony section is described as a "cheesy organ sound" [6] by some, and well-used by others. Since the polyphony section is independently tunable, it can function as a rudimentary third oscillator ...
The Korg Prophecy is a monophonic synthesizer released by Korg in 1995. one of the earliest commercial DSP physical/acoustic and analog "virtual" modeling sound synthesizers and Korg's first monophonic synthesizer since the Mono/Poly.
"DLS" is an acronym for "Downloadable Sounds", and also the initials of DLS 1 project leader Dave Sparks of Creative Labs. To date there have been three major versions of DLS: DLS 1: Basic single-oscillator synthesizer voice, for PCs and PC sound cards; DLS 2: Adds per-voice lowpass filter + other enhancements
The Odyssey is a two-oscillator analog synthesizer, and one of the first with duophonic capabilities (the ability to play two notes at the same time). All parameters, including a resonant low-pass filter, a non-resonant high-pass filter, ADSR and AR envelopes, a sine and square wave LFO, and a sample-and-hold function are controllable with sliders and switches on the front panel.
