There’s a whole maths and logic section built in to enhance the modulation possibilities further. There are 68 sources and 45 destinations of modulatable marvellousness. ModulationĪrtisan Electronic Instruments are all about the modulation and packing in as much functionality as possible. We can also see a Drive knob in there and FX modulation. There’s a 24-bit DSP digital effects section with reverb, chorus, delay and phaser. Each voice will be addressable separately with multi-timbral operation and individual outputs. There are also macro knobs and performance features. The controls have been expanded from the original Nucleus to offer something approaching one knob per function. The basic Iliad poly that was on demo has 4 voices and is housed in a 49-key chassis. The idea is that Artisan can stack up to 16 of these cards in a keyboard synthesizer which it will build to order. There’s a ton of modulation available to control every aspect of each oscillator.Įach voice also has an 8-pole multimode filter, 4 LFOs and 4 Envelopes. There’s a sub-oscillator with its own PWM, which sounds like fun. The analogue oscillators have different waveforms, pulse width modulation and wavefolding built in. It’s an interesting hybrid voice featuring a pair of analogue oscillators and a digital one. Iliad is based on the voice card from the Nucleus. Undeterred by last year’s failed Kickstarter campaign to get the Nucleus monosynth into wider production, we now have a first look at a polyphonic version on display at Knobcon via a video from SonicState (below). But there’s no doubting Artisan Electronic’s deep love of building synthesizers. Like the epic story of Troy, the Iliad synthesizer hides voice cards inside its solid exterior that will burst forth and slaughter you once you’ve brought it into the safety of your studio.
