Sequential DAVE SMITH Tetra - 4-VOICE MULTITIMBRIC ANALOG SYNTHESIZER

(This text is machine translated) The Tetra offers a 100% analog signal path. Its vocal architecture is based on the Prophet '08, with two digitally controlled analog oscillators per voice, but with the addition of sub-octave generators for each oscillator. There's a resonant low-pass filter using classic Curtis chips that can be switched into 2 or 4-pole modes, three DADSR envelope generators, four LFOs, an arpeggiator, and an analog-style 16 x 4 step sequencer (per voice). There are also over 20 different modulation sources and over 40 destinations, as well as a noise generator. The most important knobs to tinker with here are: Cutoff Filter, Resonance, Attack and Decay / Release. Proving that Dave Smith knows how musicians like to use his instruments, the Cutoff and Resonance knobs are real potentiometers, while all the others are "detent" rotary encoders, i.e. with slight clicks when turned (only the Mopho uses detent encoders) .
