Malekko Heavy Industry | Manther

Description

The Malekko Heavy Industry Manther, is a mono analog synthesizer with 64-step sequencer. The design was inspired by the Roland MC-202 with replication of the CEM oscillator.

Manther harkens back to a time when the 101 and 202 synths were kings with gorgeous sound and a rugged enclosure design. It boasts a LFO, VCO, Source Mixer, VCF, VCA, ADSR envelope and is the best of both analog and digital worlds combined. The Source Mixer allows for total control of square, triangle, sine, trishape, noise and sub levels. It also features a 16-step sequencer, keyboard as well as record and song modes. Tons of ins and outs including CV, MIDI, clock and gate make for multiple studio or stage configs but what makes it really special is the fact that its heart is designed around the coveted CEM chip.

Velocity As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. Aftertouch Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel.
Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise.
