Novation's product development team has announced Circuit Mono Station - a paraphonic analog synthesizer with two oscillators, 3-track sequencer and 32 RGB pads.
The new device is a monosynth based on Bass Station II and Novation Circuit designs. Circuit Mono Station features 2 oscillators, 3 distortion modes, low pass/high pass and band-pass filters (12dB and 24dB).
Circuit Mono Station allows users to sync as well as set the parameters of both oscillators themselves. The new instrument let you produce 4 waveforms (sawtooth, triangle, square, S&H); there’s also a ring modulation possibility, sub oscillator and noise generator. The synthesizer is equipped with an overdrive function.
You can choose between monophonic and paraphonic modes – the oscillators can be tracked and managed by sequencer individually. Since there’s a separate sequencer track for modulation parameters any user can control gate length, pulse width of a square wave, switch and modify patterns, select sync rate.
The modulation matrix allows you to change pitch, pulse width of a square wave, amplitude, filter parameters and distortion amount.
Circuit Mono Station has enough memory for uploading and saving up to 64 patches. The synthesizer can be controlled by CV/ Gate, CV mod, there’s also MIDI in/out/thru to integrate it with external devices. You may connect it to your PC via USB or any other source featuring MIDI support.
The synthesizer – priced about $500 - will be available for order in July 2017.
