Big Blue

Big Blue is what is referred to as a Semi-Modular Synthesizer. Each function has been designed as a
module, but the useful parts are “pre-wired” internally. This means that Big Blue will produce and
output sound without any patching. You can extend the functionality by using the patch bay.

Big Blue provides for eight voice polyphony, allowing you to use up to eight voices from a single input.

Big Blue has five distinct module sections:
