Modal 008 Analogue Synth (8 voice) with Xpander-Style Filters (with Phase/Allpass)

the original info from Modal (so it has still some super-words in it) ;) Modal 008 (built 2015) – Analog Synthesizer  provides eight discrete voices of polyphony with an uncompromising analogue architecture utilising the highest grade components throughout Two 100% analogue VCO’s per voice with two sub oscillators, providing sawtooth, triangle, square with PWM and noise. note those filters are a bit like the   Oberheim Matrix 12 (built 1985) – Analog Synthesizer that allows combinations of filters including phase shifting / all pass filters that really sound great for pads and stuff.

Prosoniq sold to Zynaptiq / Zynaptiq kauft Prosoniq

this is the message I read this morning – the sound of Prosoniq was always unique and innovative in everything sonic – I bought the first stuff for my EPS16+ to have a lot of very new effects and later there were SonicWorx and some years ago they introduced Isolate which is amazing for extracting audio parts like trumpets from a song, remove reverb (that was possible in sonicWorx already on OS9) – so I really really hope they maintain all the older stuff and re-release everything as VST/AU.. and…
