Prometheus 3 – Dual Super filter

Our all new DLX series Dual Filter. The Prometheus 3 draws from the MS20’s classic high and low pass filters and adds so much control. Go for subtle, or you can overdrive the filters and make them self oscillate. With 3 LFOs, internal synchronized tremolo and multiple envelope slopes the possibilities are endless.

PixelWave – Phase distortion synth

A 3 oscillator synth for guitar or bass, the PixelWave’s Phase Distortion synth engine bridges the gap between early 80s analog and digital synthesizer sounds. Create resonant filter sweeps, portamento leads or modulated madness and save them to 11 user presets.
