Synthesizer

Digital Sound Factory presents Kontakt Keyboards collections from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s mastered for the DSF Performance Synthesizer. All keyboards were multi-sampled/multi-velocity-sampled through high quality analog to digital convertors providing for the best fidelity possible. Each instrument was then mapped to the keyboard and fine-tuned to perfection. These new programs not only sound authentic to the real keyboards, but go on to the next generation of sounds. With the power of Kontakt, new possibilities for layering, filtering, and envelopes go way beyond the original hardware possibilities.

Sounds with Character and Loads of Controls in a PLUG-OUT Capable Synthesizer. Back in the 1970s, Roland launched the SYSTEM 100, SYSTEM 100M, and the now almost mythical SYSTEM 700. These modular and semi-modular synthesizers are heralded to this day for their flexibility and character of sound. In the spirit of its predecessors, the SYSTEM-1 breaks new ground with remarkable flexibility and access to a vast palette of tones with the bold, unmistakable character associated with Roland synthesizers for nearly four decades.

Here is the fundamental knowledge and information that a beginning or intermediate electronic musician must have to understand and play todayÕs keyboard synthesizers. This basic primer, newly updated from the classic original edition, offers step-by-step explanations and practical advice on what a synthesizer is, the basic concepts and components, and the latest technical developments and applications. Written by Bob Moog, Roger Powell, Steve Porcaro (of Toto), Tom Rhea, and other well-known experts, Synthesizer Basics is the first, and still the best, introduction available today.

ritual is an analog style bass synthesizer that uses several unique techiques to create a thick & rich sound. oscillator 1 is a blend of a pulse & crushed triangle, while oscillator 2 uses a custom designed super-saw blended with a crushed sine. the synthesizer also uses a custom designed cascade filter system with a feedback chain for adding analog warmth to the sound. lfo and envelope modulators can target 8 different parameters in both positives and negatives using the modulation matrix.
