The Octopus is a Dual-Matrix synthesizer containing one Matrix
for Oscillator/Filter frequency modulation synthesis and
another Matrix for general modulation. The key component for
building a sound is the instrument's 8 oscillators, Sampler, 2
filters and 32 envelopes. These components are all it needs to
create anything from classic "old school" FM timbres to
complex sounds far beyond those possible with conventional FM
synthesis. Editing the Octopus is a breeze, because all
controls are located on a single panel which is always on
view, so you can see at a glance any synth parameter.
The Octopus is build in collaboration with Maxx Claster.
The Dual Matrix Synthesizer
- Hybrid Frequency Modulation and Sampling synthesis
- opends vast new soundscapes with 10 modulation sources and 8
modulation destinations
- 350 excellent presets in a wide range of styles made by Nico
Herz, Pro-Sounds, Summa, and Tim Conrardy.
- full cross-modulation, adjustable feedback for every
oscillator
- 8 additive oscillators using sample-based or user defined
waveforms
- Two independent multimode filters, are available as FM
sources
- Up to 32 envelopes with multiple, syncable segments,
freerun, loop and adjustable slopes
- Graphical envelope editor with sophisticated editing
functions
- Envelopes can be used to modulate a wide range of parameters
including amplitude, mix, panning, pitch, frequency, phase,
cutoff and resonance of filters
- Stereo effects section with 4 effects (Parametric EQ,
Chorus, Delay and Reverb)
- Two step sequencers each with up to 32 steps each
- 12 voice polyphonic
Envelope Matrix
One of the Octopus' key features is its use of envelopes as a
primary modulation source. In fact, in the case of the Octopus
the term "envelope" is somewhat of an understatement as their
use goes far beyond that of conventional envelopes. The
instrument contains 32 Envelopes designed to satisfy all
modulation requirements (the instrument's designers estimate
that around 10 envelopes should be enough to produce highly
complex sounds, so the additional envelopes allow plenty of
scope for experimentation). Envelopes in the Octopus are used
for every kind of modulation. Each envelope can modulate a
range of destinations including Amplitude, Mix, Panning,
Pitch, Frequency or Phase of one or more Oscillators and
Cutoff or Resonance of one or more Filters. They can be used
for creating effects such as amplitude modulation, as LFOs, as
keyboard/velocity tracking engines, or even as MIDI modulation
tools. Anything that can be modulated by MIDI note number,
MIDI velocity or other MIDI controllers can be modulated using
envelopes. Envelope routing is controlled using the Envelope
Matrix which connects envelopes to the parameter that they
modulate. Envelopes themselves are edited the Octopus'
powerful Envelope Editor. The editor allows the design of
complex envelope shapes that are freely editable in every
respect. Keyboard-scaling and velocity-scaling envelopes are
also available.
Crossmodulation Matrix
Oscillators are the Octopus' primary sound source. They are
used to create additive waveforms made up of 32 harmonics.
Each oscillator's spectrum is editable using the instrument's
internal spectrum editor so it's easy to create you own unique
waveforms. It is also possible to load audio files, analyze
them, and then convert the wave data into a spectrum that the
oscillators can play back. Although 32 harmonics may not seem
like very many, it's easy to create complex sounds by
combining FM and feedback. Using this approach, you can
produce highly complex, animated sound textures. The Octopus
also has 2 Filters. The synth's design permits routing one
filter through another allowing deep, rich filtering effects.
Both Filters can be used as modulation sources and can also be
used to modulate an oscillatorùthe possibilities are endless.
