they presented the Omni, which would become one of ARPs biggest successes. The instrument al-
lowed the combination of two polyphonic violin sounds – a great innovation for the company – and
two monophonic bass sounds.
But in 1981, ARP was finally bought out by CBS. The following year, CBS with part of the ARP devel-
opment team would produce the Chroma, a programmable polyphonic synthesizer, and in 1984 the
Chroma Polaris, a simplified and MIDI-capable version of the Chroma.
1.2 A better emulation thanks to TAE®
TAE
®
- True Analog Emulation - is a new technology dedicated to the digital reproduction of analog
circuits used in vintage synthesizers.
When implemented in software code, TAE’s algorithms guarantee authentic emulation of hardware
specifications. This is why your ARP2600 V offers an unparalleled quality of sound.
In detail, TAE
®
combines four major advances in the domain of synthesis:
1.2.1 Aliasing-free oscillators
Standard digital synthesizers produce aliasing in high frequencies, and also when using Pulse Width
Modulation or FM.
TAE
®
allows the production of totally aliasing-free oscillators in all contexts (PWM, FM…), and at no
extra CPU cost.
