5) Fred's Lab Manatee
Manatee
Polifonico multitimbrico 4 parti 10-16 voci
Spec Sheet
4-part 10 to 16-voice spectral synthesizer module, with full support of MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression).
This instrument offers original & innovative synthesis options thanks to the spectral engine, a smart blend between additive and wavetable synthesis, granting the adventurous musician the possibility to sculpt and articulate his sound from the tone spectral level.
Manatee also includes more traditionnal - Virtual Analog, Waveform and 2-Operator FM - algorithms to either complement the spectral oscillator or to be used solo.
Each voice holds 2x oscillators, an advanced noise & ring modulator, a multimode resonant filter (12, 24 dB / Octave) with extra RC section, a wild saturator module, 2x meta-envelopes + 1x custom-LFO and a classic modulation matrix. In addition to the hardwired routing, each modulation source can target many parameters and the intensity of the modulation be controlled by any available expressor (MIDI CC, Aftertouch...).
Each part carries the spectral maker, 2x custom-LFOs, a versatile stereo delay and finally 2x adjustable stereo equalisers.
A master quality reverberation module with several models (hall, plate, room ...) is also included as an insert mixing effect.

Alcuni li conoscevo e altri no e in passato qualche piccola infatuazione per "giocattoli" simili l'ho avuta (da qualche parte ho ancora un Axoloti)
Oggi, però - forse da quando ho iniziato ad uscire con l'ipad? - devo dire che è un formato di synth che non mi attira molto perché in quasi tutti i casi ci vedo i difetti dei VST, intesi come scarsità di controlli hardware, uniti a quelli dei synth fisici (sistema chiuso, cavi e cavetti che si moltiplicano).

@ PandaR1
Grazie. A me come formato intrigano molto, infatti me lo sento che prima o poi uno me lo prendo... conto di aggiornare la lista nel tempo...
Non so, io invece ho l'impressione che prendendone uno finirebbe a far polvere e/o occupare spazio inutilmente su qualche scrivania... mi divertirei un po' all'inizio di sicuro, ma poi andrei come al solito sul consolidato per i live (una o due tastiere tra quelle che ho in firma).
Grazie. A me come formato intrigano molto, infatti me lo sento che prima o poi uno me lo prendo... conto di aggiornare la lista nel tempo...
Comunque, dal punto di vista informativo mi sembra molto interessante, quindi il thanks te l'ho dato lo stesso

Synth digitale polifonico multitimbrico 6 voci/6 parti con filtro analogico 2/4 poli a seconda della versione
Derivato dal modulo di Mutable Instruments Ambika
(tale modulo era open source e liberamente duplicabile. Ora mutable instruments ha smesso completamente la sua produzione hardware)
Spec Sheet
Multi-voice hybrid synthesizer. You can play it as a 6-voice polysynth, an ensemble of 6 monosynths, or anything inbetween due to its easily configurable voicing architecture.
The sound generation is hybrid, combining the warmth and sonic character of a true 4-pole analog filter, with the large array of waveforms offered by digital wavetables, fm and phase modulation. The digital control of the analogue filter and VCA also means a very large palette of modulation possibilities.
6 voices with individual outputs.
2 digital oscillators per voice, with 36 oscillator algorithms/wavetables.
1 sub-oscillator, also configurable as a transient generator.
Pre-filter overdrive and bit-crushing effect.
Analog 4-pole filter (or 2-pole multimode filter depending on the type of voicecard used) and VCA.
3 ADSR envelopes, 3 patch-level LFOs, 1 voice-level LFO.
Modulation matrix with 14 slots and 4 modulation modifiers.
1 arpeggiator, 1 note sequencer and 2 step sequencers per part.
Flexible mapping of the 6 voices. A single patch with 6 voice-polyphony, 6 independent mono parts, 2 layered patches with 3-voices polyphony, a 3-voice unison bass line on the lower half of the keyboard with a 3-voice unison lead on the upper half... all are possible!
MicroSD storage allows the storing of a life-long of patches, programs and multis, along with the history of editing operations for undo/redo.
Easy to change voice cards
Filter Options:
The device is available with the original 3 Mutable voice cards (more will be added later one). Mixing voice cards is possible but not recommended.
SMR Filter: This filter uses the same topology as the Shruthi SMR4mkII. It is a low pass 4 pole OTA-C filter. Its a smooth "Rolandish" type filter
4P Filter: This filter uses the same core as the Shruhti 4-Pole Mission but only offers the LP4 output. I would characterize the 4P filter as a a bit fuzzier than the SMR type
SVF Filter: This filter board features a 2-pole state variable filter with low-pass, band-pass and high-pass modes. It is half of the Shruthi SVF Filter
Prezzo 412 euro (puo' variare a seconda dei filtri installati)
Ciao, tempo addietro tenevo d’occhio questo, non so se rientra nei tuoi requisiti e se è ancora acquistabile nuovo.

Direi di si, anche se il prezzo e' un po' fuori da quello di questi mini synth, ma e' sicuramente molto interessante, lo inserisco
