Arturia Origin Hardware Modular Synthesizer

Origin Hardware Modular Synthesizer description:

Origin is the first Arturia Hardware synthesizer, a modular system of a new generation opening innovative avenues in sound design.

The Arturia Origin is loaded with modules extracted from the best synthesizers of all time (Moog Modular, ARP 2600, CS-80, minimoog and Prophet VS) Origin lets you combine these modules and benefit from the additional possibilities put onboard. The result: a new type of sound accessible through an extremely intuitive interface.

Arturia Origin sounds like nothing else on the planet. It not only implements True Analog Emulation, a technology which accurately models analog synthesizers (letting you layer up to four of these monster synths without using any of your computer’s CPU), it goes a step further. Arturia Origin takes the concept of the analog modular systems of the past to a new level using cutting edge digital technology.

You can combine different models from different systems together, designing new synthesizers that have never existed. Take the oscillators from the Minimoog, the filters from the CS-80 and the Bode shifter from the Moog Modular V to create your own synth. How can Arturia manage to do this in a standalone hardware synth?

Arturia Origin uses two Analog Devices TigerSHARC DSP processors that actually have more audio power than even the newest multi core PC processors. Beside that, Origin is not a simple Hardware synthesizer, it is an integrated system offering the best out of the Hardware and Software Worlds: Origin can be used as stand alone to play live on stage and also as a plug-in with your sequencer in the studio environment.

Arturia Origin main features include:

• More than 500 presets created by talented musicians and synthesizer specialists
• Up to 32 voices of polyphony for a typical patch
• Create your own patch or use an existing audio structures: an Origin patch made by connecting independent modules, or the minimoog V, the ARP 2600, the CS-80, the Moog Modular.
• Superb audio quality with TAE engine. 24 bits/96 kHz supported.
• Compatibility with most of the presets from the Arturia Classic virtual Analog synthesizers.
• Origin lets you open dedicated software on your Mac and PC and use it as an AU or VST plug-in. All the sounds are calculated on the machine while you work on your computer as you would do with a native application.
• Analog: 2 audio ins, 10 audio outs. Digital: SPDIF out, USB 2.0
• Large selection of effects: Phaser, Chorus, Delay, FX Reverbs, Distortion, Param Eq, Compressor, Bitcrusher 16/32 step sequencer
• Innovative Macro, Advanced LFO, modulation modes, Advanced Joystick modes.
• MIDI : In, Out, Thru or USB 2
