WHY DO I NEED THIS SYNTH? WHAT’S SO SPECIAL?
Fusebox is a compact true analogue mono synth in a neat, smart, small package.
When we say ‘real analogue’ we mean that the entire audio path and all modulation
is entirely analogue, using circuits based on awesome sounding vintage 1970s
designs. Their circuits are not locked down by CPUs. Controls are not quantised and
read by CPUs. With the exception of the MIDI to CV circuit, which by its nature must
have a digital element, and the control sections of the sequencer (which even in
vintage sequencers is digital), Fusebox really is analogue and the sound benefit is
immediately apparent!
We get many good comments about how good Analogue Solutions products sound.
How wonderful, warm and full of character they are.
The synth has been designed by Tom Carpenter, a musician and a big fan of
electronic music. He knows how to program a synth and what should be expected. It
was not designed by an engineer or steered by committee or men in suits. So, the
modulation choices and range of sounds they produced have all been carefully thought
out and quickly give you those sounds you want: huge bass, synth leads, percussion,
effects, modular style sounds.
