Gamechanger MOTOR SYNTH MKII
Gamechanger MOTOR SYNTH MKII is the world's first electro-mechanical desktop synthesizer. It is based on a unique motor oscillator engine consisting of eight electro-motors that can instantly and precisely change their rotation speed to produce musical notes.
The sound of the Motor Synth is unique due to the way the motors generate wave shapes. However, the advanced sound-shaping features developed by Gamechanger Audio engineers allow you to recreate classic synth sounds and even real instruments.
Motor Synth MKII Features
Motor Synth MKII has two separate voices with three types of optical wave shapes (sine, saw, square), an electromagnetic inductive wave (M), and adjustable four-note polyphony. Each voice has independent controls for volume, scale, waveform, amp envelope, and pitch envelope. The analog amp envelopes can operate in multiple modes (ADSR, AD, AR, DADSR, ADSHR) with adjustable curve parameters.
MKII also offers an additional third DIGITAL VOICE (DCO) with fully independent controls for all parameters, adjustable four-note polyphony, and other features:
- Proprietary virtual-analog oscillator and noise engine with waveshaping capabilities
- Dedicated multimode digital filter with extensive functionality
- Multiple routing options for Filter and Output.
Each Motor Voice has its own separate analog FILTER with fully independent controls of all parameters:
- Four filter modes: 24 dB Low Pass, 12 dB Band Pass, 12 dB Hi Pass, 24 dB All Pass with self-oscillating resonance
- Analog drive circuit
- Multi-mode analog filter envelopes (ADSR, AD, AR, DADSR, ADSHR) with adjustable CURVE parameters
- Keytrack engine with gradual control over amount, direction, and GLIDE.
Built-in Performance Interface
- 8 non-velocity sensitive panels for inputting notes, sequences, patterns
- 4 rotary PITCH ENCODERS for editing note values and microtonal pitch adjustments
- Innovative CLUTCH function (temporary parameter editing buffer).
Arpeggiator and Sequencer
- Assignable ARP ENGINE with Note Repeat, Pattern repeat, Pattern Shift, and Accent functionality
- Internal note SEQUENCER with savable patterns, pattern chaining, ratcheting, micro-timing, probability, and step-repeat functionality.
