An LED display and Octave ± controls gives you visual command of your sound and amazing flexibility.įor the uninitiated, Timbre Wolf is a great-sounding, affordable and easy-to-grasp entry into the world of analog synthesis. CONCLUSIONĬonfigurable as 4 mono synths, a 4-voice unison or a 4-voice polysynth, Timbre Wolf bares a beastly sound and features a high quality 25-key custom keybed. Each of the sequence tracks send their notes via MIDI, meaning if you’re using the sequence in poly mode, you can have track 1 send its notes to the Timbre Wolf and use tracks 2-4 to control other synths, keyboards, drum machines, etc. The sequencer features 4 tracks in total. All four voices have their own 32-step dedicated sequencer with A/B and fill variation. Not only can the sound be customized to taste, but so can the way each voice is sequenced and played back. With individual outs for each voice, the potential for all sorts of creative routing and mixing is unleashed. Individual voices can be tuned slightly or radically different from each other and played independently, performed polyphonically in a “round robin” style or in unison, where all four play at once. The aforementioned classic parameters can be tweaked to quickly dial up fat, great-sounding analog but there’s much more under the hood once you get beyond the basics. The filter for each voice is modulated by an envelope, which can be shaped by dedicated decay and envelope amount knobs. Featuring a single VCA – either square or saw – each voice is run through a 4-pole low-pass filter with resonance. The Timbre Wolf is a polyphonic 4-voice analog synth with a novel approach to how the voices interact.

Outfitted with six MPC-style pads and a built-in 32-step sequencer, Tom Cat provides an ultraresponsive interface with a classic drum machine layout. Onboard controls-all continuously variable-enable users to customise the tuning, amplitude envelopes, and volume of each drum voice separately for precise real-time adjustment. Tom Cat is an exciting true analog drum machine with five built-in percussion voices, including Kick, Snare, and Clap sounds with chromatically tunable Disco Toms. Timbre Wolf adds a distinctive, convincing traditional voice to any musician’s repertoire of tools. An LED display and Octave +/- controls add further control and flexibility for the user. The user can easily customise the sound of each voice independently as they play, and there is a 32-step sequencer for each voice. Configurable as 4 mono synths, a 4-voice unison or a 4-voice polysynth, Timbre Wolf includes a professional quality 25-key custom Akai Pro keybed.
