Too much fun. Very versatile and great tone. The delay built in is also awesome, though people reviewing it said they didn?t care for it.

Amazing little synth!

Best money spent in a while; amazing double VCO Analog Modular synth you can buy right now hands down.
Before the advent of modern synthesizers, a Russian physicist named Lev Termen, also known as Leon Theremin, pioneered the field of electronic musical instruments in 1919 with the invention of the Theremin. This simple oscillator, played by moving the performer's hand near the instrument's antenna, found its fame in the Beach Boys' iconic hit "Good Vibrations". Today, the NEUTRON Paraphonic Analog and Semi-Modular Synthesizer with Dual 3340 VCOs carries on this tradition of innovation and excellence in sound production.
The NEUTRON synthesizer boasts a semi-modular design, crafted for an intuitively linear workflow. This design requires no patching for immediate performance, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and seasoned musicians. Simply put your NEUTRON into self-oscillation, connect your preferred keyboard or computer via MIDI over DIN or USB, and you're ready to dive into the world of analog music synthesis.
The NEUTRON synthesizer is a tribute to the classic synthesizers that shaped musical history. Its meticulous design ensures it delivers ultra-flexible sound shaping capabilities, allowing you to create everything from super-fat bass and lead tones to stunning effects and progressive organ sounds.
The NEUTRON's pure analog signal path, featuring legendary VCO, VCF, and VCA circuits, lets you recreate the iconic synthesizer tracks of the 70s and 80s. Alternatively, you can design incredibly fat and original sounds that will set you apart from the crowd.
The NEUTRON's dual Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) offer an impressive range with 5 unique waveforms for crafting the perfect sound. The oscillators can be adjusted across a wide, 3-octave range, providing you with the tools to unleash your creativity.
At the heart of the NEUTRON's sound is its highly-flexible 12 dB State Variable Filter, which allows you to experiment with the cutoff Frequency, Modulation, and Envelope Depth to dial in the perfect sound. The filter mode switch offers three settings (high pass, band pass, and low pass) for a broad range of tonal options.
The NEUTRON also features a bucket-brigade circuit, providing 25 - 640 ms of delay time. At lower time settings, your echoes will be crisp and punchy, while at longer settings, you'll experience the natural high-end roll-off that is the hallmark of a great analog delay.
The NEUTRON is equipped with 2 ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) envelope generators, offering all the versatility and tone-sculpting options a professional musician could ask for. It is also Eurorack ready, designed to handle the rigors of life on the road or in the studio.
The NEUTRON synthesizer is not just a musical instrument; it's a playground for sound creation. With 36 knobs and 7 switches, all laid out in a highly-intuitive format, it puts the joy back into your music creation. The onboard patching matrix provides 32 In x 24 Out TS 1/8" (3.5 mm) connections, and additional I/O includes MIDI I/O and Thru over USB/MIDI DIN, main audio Input and Output, and Phones with its own dedicated level control.
In the world of mono, all-analog synthesizers, the NEUTRON stands out for its sound quality, versatility, and affordability. Whether you're a seasoned musician or a beginner, the NEUTRON Paraphonic Analog and Semi-Modular Synthesizer with Dual 3340 VCOs is a sound investment in your musical journey.
