'More analog than analog is our motto…'.
Foxtrot Duo is a stereo filter with modern, incredibly accurate and detailed virtual analog models of three vintage filter types.
1) A ladder filter from the classic MOOG designs from the '60 and '70s
2) A filter modelled on early Korgs, like the MS-20
3) A filter based on the Oberheim SEM.
Each filter type can be continuously swept from Band Pass, through Low Pass to High Pass.
The virtual analog models accurately reproduce the weird non-linearities and imperfections of the original circuits – those imperfections that make them sound so good – which is why we borrow that (mis)quotation from Blade Runner. Not that it worked out well for Dr. Tyrell…

Oscar DSF is a stereo complex oscillator based on a Discrete Summation Formula – which is a bit like FM but without all those operators, algorithms and complex controls.
In fact, with just two main controls (with CVs) Oscar DSF can make the usual clangs and tings associated with FM oscillators, or it can sound like a traditional oscillator, or like nothing you've heard before. It can handle everything from fat bass sounds to searing leads, evolving ambient drones to weird sound effects.
Oscar DSF includes two oscillators, a great sounding sinusoidal wave folder and built-in VCA all in just 10HP.

Alpha Duo is many things.
It's a precision stereo VCA, it's a stereo ring modulator and it's a stereo distortion/overdrive effect.
As a precision VCA it’s… well… it’s a VCA – two VCAs actually and you can never have too many VCAs.
Or it can be a ring modulator – again, two ring modulators actually.
Plus the VCA/ring mod then passes through a two mode overdrive/distortion effect, for soft, warm, tube style fuzz, or hard edged, gritty clipping – both of which happen to sound amazing with the Foxtrot Duo VCF.

Foxtrot takes the three vintage filter types of Foxtrot Duo and turns them into a quad filter bank.
Each of the four Foxtrot channels can be a stand-along filter, or any channels can be linked to produce a complex sound shaping tool.
For instance, banks of resonant band passes can create formant or PS-3300 resonator style sounds. Or set each of the filters to ‘notch’ (half way between LP and HP) and sweep them together to make rich phasing effects.

Alpha Pro is a quad VCA with two independent mix buses, two inputs per VCA, and stereo outputs, making a configurable mixer, or a sub mixer, or an effects send or… well, you decide.
Each VCA has two summed inputs, which are mixed together. The outputs of each VCA channel can be used independently (because you can never have too many VCAs) or switched to one of two mix buses.
And for extra fun, each channel features the overdrive/distortion effects from Alpha Duo, and the signal chain can be reconfigured using the included 2HP Alpha Switches.
