Future Retro Vectra 2

The new Vectra with Firmware 2.0 is now available.

Upgrades Include:

IMPROVEMENTS

• • Randomization over sequencer parameters.
  • Reset to step 1 of sequencer.
  • Midi cc control over sequencer parameters.
  • Midi cc in and out of joysticks.
  • Sequencer parameter improvement for more convenient usage of features during live performance including keyboard enhancements.

BUG FIXES:

• • Eliminates crash when receiving midi data during preset change.
  • All 16 midi channels now sending and receiving.
  • Fixes crashes on sequencer edit page when using for long periods of time.

SOUNDSET now expanded with contributions from:

• • Matia Simovich
  • Jon Sonnenberg
  • Drew Schlesinger

The Vectra is a unique digital-analog hybrid synthesizer providing four oscillators, white and pink noise sources, four ring modulators, a four-channel mixer, five LFO’s, six morphing envelopes, six primary multimode analog filter types, a main analog VCA, and numerous internal modulation routings and VCA’s controlling modulation amounts.

It really is like having a powerful self-contained semi-modular synthesizer with approximately 500 internal signal routings, and around 256 storable sound parameters.

The Vectra's synthesis architecture is designed to allow the greatest flexibility in recreating multiple synthesis techniques of the past while introducing several new innovations and methods.

The oscillators are digital as this provides the highest degree of tuning stability, while allowing both traditional virtual analog waveforms and 500 digital waveforms. With features like oscillator Sync, PWM, our new waveform Phase Slice, and Fade features, independent glide times per oscillator, constant beat detuning, monophonic and eight paraphonic voice modes, not to mention FM, AM, Ring-modulation, and dedicated LFO’s, Envelopes, and VCA’s per oscillator really make these oscillators a power house.

The four-channel mixer is unique in that it provides an even balance when mixing multiple sources, either manually with the joystick, or applying automated vector mixing, or mixer modulation.

Each unit will include a printed manual, micro SD card, and power supply.
