两全其美的
作为乐器设计的壮举，SunSyn 是德国合成器制造商 JoMoX 倾情打造的一款极其复杂的产品。它于 1999 年发布，简单来说可以被视为 8 复音模拟/数字混合，或者更冒险的方式是 8 个离散的模块化单声道合成器。每个声音都配备了 2 个真正的模拟振荡器，能够使用 PWM 进行锯齿波、方波或脉冲，以及 2 个具有数百个波形和自定义样本支持的引导数字振荡器。
变形金刚
滤波器部分同样令人印象深刻，具有可变形的 4 极真模拟滤波器，可对每个极的截止频率进行离散控制。但也许最具开创性的方面是调制矩阵。从本质上讲，它更接近于更大的模块化模拟系统，允许每个元素 4096 个可能的路由，每个语音 4 个元素，所有这些都在模拟域中完成。但与完全模拟系统不同的是，这里的调制路由可以通过交互式矩阵快速进行，并保存在补丁内存中以供即时调用。
复活太阳
使用如此复杂的乐器有其挑战，特别是考虑到它的年龄和产量有限。 SunSyn 的许多部件极为罕见，几乎不可能获得。在我们的案例中，为了完成维修和翻新，我们的技术人员必须从第二个单元中清除零件。这是一个昂贵且有些痛苦的过程，但最终还是值得的，因为我们的声音设计师开始使用工厂规格部件开发完全修复和完美校准的乐器。
深沉的声音设计
SunSyn 上的声音设计可能性几乎是无穷无尽的，我们使用它的过程的结果是显而易见的。从在多模式中创建的大量、丰富和不断发展的复合合成声音，到利用模拟振荡器、数字 RCO 和滤波器变形的调制的破坏性和侵略性的单合成声音。我们设计并录制了数百个多重采样声音集，最后精心挑选了 420 个层，提供了我们认为代表这台机器上最独特、最有特色、有时甚至是史诗般的声音。
专业预设
贝斯、钟声、铜管、FX、键、主音、本机音序、风琴、打击垫、打击乐、弹拨、复音合成器、弦乐、扫频、声音、波形模拟、波形数字，超过 450 种全新 + 自定义设计的预设可用，内置来自包含 30,660 个真实硬件样本的库。所有预设都是完全可编辑的，这意味着您可以深度自定义它们甚至创建自己的预设。 PX SunBox 的双层架构让您可以轻松地从包含的声音的任何组合中创建令人难以置信的分层音色。
此版本需要 R2R Falcon。
A feat of instrument design, the SunSyn is a fantastically complex-in-all-the-right-places labor of love from German synthmaker JoMoX. Released in 1999, it can be considered in simple terms as an 8-voice polyphonic analog/digital hybrid, or in a more adventurous way as 8 discrete modular mono synths. Each voice is outfitted with 2 true analog oscillators capable of saw, square, or pulse with PWM, and 2 guided digital oscillators with hundreds of waveforms and custom sample support.
The filter section is equally impressive, with a morphable 4-pole true analog filter with discrete control over each pole’s cutoff frequency. But maybe the most groundbreaking aspect is the modulation matrix. In spirit it’s much closer to that of larger modular analog systems, allowing 4096 possible routings per element, 4 elements per voice, all done in the analog domain. But unlike fully analog systems the modulation routings here can be quickly made through an interactive matrix and saved in patch memory for instant recall.
Working with such a complicated instrument has its challenges, especially given its age and limited production. Many parts for the SunSyn are extremely rare and almost impossible to source. In our case, to complete the servicing and refurbishment our tech had to purge parts from a second unit. An expensive and somewhat painful process but worth it in the end, as our sound designers headed off to work on a fully-restored and perfectly calibrated instrument with factory-spec parts.
Sound design possibilities on the SunSyn are nearly endless, and the results of our process with it are evident. From massive, rich, and evolving polysynth sounds created in multi-mode, to devastating and aggressive monosynth sounds utilizing modulations of both analog oscillators, the digital RCOs, and filter morphing. We designed and recorded hundreds of multisampled soundsets, ending with a curated selection of 420 layers, delivering what we think represent the most unique, charactered, and sometimes epic, sounds possible on this machine.
Bass, Bells, Brass, FX, Keys, Leads, Native Sequences, Organ, Pads, Percussive, Plucks, Polysynth, Strings, Sweeps, Voices, Waveform Analog, Waveform Digital, over 450 all-new + custom designed presets are available, built from a library of 30,660 authentic hardware samples. All presets are fully-editable, meaning you can deeply customize them or even create your own. And the dual-layer architecture of PX SunBox allows you to easily create incredible layered tones from any combination of the included sounds.
This release requires R2R Falcon.
