This virtual instrument is a precisely modelled 80s analogue synthesizer with modern enhancements that remove the limitations of the hardware of that era.

The AX73 from Martinic is not a sample library but a fully functioning, modelled synthesizer capable of complex sounds. Each of its two layers, Upper and Lower, has two VCOs with a sub oscillator each, a pink noise generator, a self-oscillating filter (low-pass, high-pass, band-pass) and four DADSR envelope generators. The layers can be stacked or split, and with up to 24 voices the AX73 quadruples the six-voice polyphony of the original. More than 600 presets help you get started.

Features

• Two VCOs per layer with saw, triangle, square, saw plus triangle and sine waveshapes, pulse width assignable on any waveshape
• Sub oscillator per VCO and pink noise generator per layer
• Self-oscillating filter per layer (LP/HP/BP) plus OWFM, which modulates the filter frequency with the oscillator frequency
• Stack or split the Upper and Lower layers, MIDI Split mode for two MIDI channels
• Up to 24 voices of polyphony, four times the six voices of the original
• Four DADSR envelope generators per layer (one hardwired to VCA level), mod wheel assignable to Upper, Lower or both
