SAFETY, MAINTENANCE & OVERVIEW
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrical shock do not expose to water, rain or any moisture.
Do not use in direct sunlight.
Do not open the enclosure. If you require servicing, please contact Malekko directly.
Use only the 9V power AC adaptor provided with Manther.
Do not use around heat (stoves, furnaces etc.).
Do not use abrasive chemicals to clean your unit or OLED screen.
Do not apply unnecessary pressure to the OLED screen.
MANTHER is a full featured, tabletop monosynth with an analog signal path, an advanced 64-step digital sequencer and onboard
delay. The heart of this beast is a coveted CEM3340 based VCO IC chip. The analog filter is based on an SSM2044 chip. The Source
Mixer allows for total control over the Square, Triangle, Saw, Tri Shape, Noise and Sub Oscillator levels with individual wave outputs.
Dial everything from heavy basslines to screaming leads to stomping kicks. Manther growls like no other.
Automation recording is available for parameters of the LFO, VCO, SOURCE MIXER, VCF, VCA, ENVELOPE as well as GLIDE and
DELAY. Once automation is recorded it can be saved within a total of 64 presets. This allows for recall of intricate sound sculpting
and numerous animated creations. Easily build songs by simply selecting presets to play in any order. Program notes quickly using
the keyboard. Utilize the Repeat and Probability functions per step for a unique and inspiring approach to gate pattern formation.
Even route the LFO to modulate the Delay time.
The intuitive menu offers additional control and setup of the more complex features: Sub Semitones, ADSR envelope, Sequence
direction (FWD, REVERSE, PENDULUM and RANDOM), Sequence division and multiplication, LFO phase, additional Delay features,
Clock settings and more.
INS and OUTS include: CV, MIDI, CLOCK, GATE and LFO and pairs brilliantly with Eurorack.
