The unique selling point of the Motor Synth MkII is the way the analogue waveforms are generated. The oscillators consist of eight instantly and precisely responsive motors that rotate specially designed optical discs engraved with the four waveforms: sine, sawtooth, square and "motor". The translation and conversion of each disk is performed by an infrared laser. From here, the oscillator feeds into an analogue Multimode filter that offers a choice of 24db LP, 12dB BP, 12dB HP or 24dB AP (All Pass). Usually, the last link in the signal path is a VCA, not so with this synthesizer, because the signal path between the oscillator and the output jack allows the insertion of any effect device via FX insert before the filter or after the VCA. The instrument has a total of three voices, which are divided into two analogue and one digital. The operating focus of the voices is clearly on the analogue voices, the digital voice is easily accessible via the large display. As a successful complement to the raw and penetrating sound of the analogue voices, the digital voice scores with classic waveforms along with Waveshaping and digitally recreated filters of the analogue section or also as a noise generator. For the modulation of each voice, two multimode envelopes are used, which are primarily connected to the VCF and VCA. With three freely assignable LFOs, subtle and drastic sound shifts are created in no time at all. Sonically, the Motor Synth is very productive: crisp, direct and powerful in the basic sound are its strengths. As the only synthesizer on the market with motor oscillators, the result is simply different than if the signal path was built classically eg. with ICs or transistors. Sequencer, Arpeggiator and Cluster The lower third of the Gamechanger Audio Motor Synth is largely dedicated to the performance-oriented playback functions. The cluster function corresponds to a scene memory that changes assigned parameters at the touch of a button. Off the cuff eg. halve the resonance, filter envelope to maximum and change a waveform, as well as seven other variants can be stored here. The flexible arpeggiator is adjustable in detail and goes far beyond the usual up/down patterns. Thanks to the pattern sequen cer, melodies and basslines can be recorded internally and provided with...
