Insane Polyphonic Analog Synth Sounds - Insanely Affordable!

Heads up, analog synth fanatics: the Tetra is about to shake up your world. This way-cool, way-portable synthesizer from Dave Smith Instruments gives you that unmistakable 100% analog sound, with — get this — four voices. You've got individual outputs for each voice, for uber-flexibility. And if you want to go radical, you can use Tetra's "Combo Mode" to combine four programs into unison or poly "super patches." Cooler yet, you can even poly chain Tetras — or a Prophet '08 — to give yourself up to 16 voices of polyphony.







Tetra gives you the hook up with two oscillators per voice — sawtooth, triangle, saw/triangle, or square with variable pulse width. You've also got three envelope generators per voice and two sub-octave generators per voice, to reign in that sound you're looking for. All in all, the compact Tetra is your source for sweet, all-analog synthesized madness — and it's got USB for serious recording/performance workflow integration. The awesomeness becomes clearer when you consider it this way: with this little guy, you've got four of Dave Smith Instrument's wicked little Mophos built into one... at seriously thumbs-up value. Way to go, Dave Smith Instruments. Way to go, Tetra.
