Analogue Solutions, the renowned synthesizer manufacturer, has officially released its latest creation, the Ample synthesizer. This desktop synthesizer amalgamates key features from Analogue Solutions' popular devices, including Fusebox, Concussor, Vostok, Dr Strangelove, and Generator. With a robust set of controls catering to both beginners and seasoned synth enthusiasts, Ample aims to make a significant mark in the analogue synthesizer market.

True to its name, Ample maintains an all-analogue signal path, except for the MIDI connectivity chip, ensuring a pure and authentic sound. Boasting three oscillators with sawtooth, triangle, and square wave outputs, along with a four-pole 24dB/octave low-pass filter, the synthesizer offers a versatile sonic palette. The third oscillator doubles as an additional LFO, providing modulation flexibility with various waveshapes.

The synthesizer features a pair of envelope generators with precise control over attack, decay, sustain, and release, accompanied by an Echo effect section with dedicated Time, Feedback, and Level parameters. Ample's VCA introduces a Thru mode, allowing it to function as an effects processor for external sources.

Modulation enthusiasts will appreciate the comprehensive selection of routing options and the patch pin matrix, reminiscent of Analogue Solutions' Vostok. The instrument comes with 15 patch pins, and additional packs are available for separate purchase. Moreover, Ample seamlessly integrates with Eurorack and other modular setups through its audio and CV outputs.

For performance controls, Ample provides six touch keys that output set voltages, allowing users to play pitches or use them as modulation signals. Additionally, the synthesizer includes a vintage-style 16-step sequencer, adding a dynamic dimension to live performances.

Pricing & Availability:

Analogue Solutions' Ample is now available for order, priced at £1999 including VAT. Enthusiasts can enhance their setup with additional patch pins, available in packs of 15 for £35 including VAT. For more information and to place orders, visit Analogue Solutions.
