![]() ![]() A few cuts were inevitable (for instance in Repro-1, oscillator B can modulate its own pulse width, which we gladly dropped from Repro-5). It seemed that people liked Repro-1 so much, they wanted more… Would we please consider making it polyphonic?Īfter umming and ahing about the idea, we decided to give it our best. Repro-5 adds new dimensions to the familiar classic sound while keeping analogue authenticity front and centre.įirst we released Repro-1, a faithful component-level model of what was perhaps the mostpowerful-sounding monophonic keyboard ever built. Keep it lush, or go for thick detuned unison leads. First: it's polyphonic! Play rich pads, shape them using the resonant lowpass filter, drive the polyphonic distortion unit as hard as you like, and finally polish your sound with five built-in effects. Repro-5 shares a lot of sonic DNA with Repro-1, but adds new flavours and characteristics. ![]() Despite its molded plastic panel and the limitations of monophony, it sold surprisingly well and is generally recognized as an iconic piece of synthesizer history. The circuit design made good use of standard Curtis chips and the little onboard sequencer was more than just a welcome extra. Fat drones, cutting leads, funky basses, quirky sci-fi sound effects – this synthesizer delivered on all counts. To be commercially viable, any new monophonic instrument had to be cheap but very capable. In the early 1980s, polyphonic synthesizers were almost within reach of the average musician. The plug-in is a component-level model of perhaps the most powerful-sounding monophonic keyboard ever built. Hard working, raw sounding and immediately playable, it's a simple and intuitive synthesizer which belies a deep feature set capable of a wide range of sounds. Got my Time Machine on pause with my last backup as of 3 hours ago right before I did the upgrade just in case.Repro-1 is a fierce monosynth: The classic design gives you immediate access to all the raw power: Two oscillators, self-oscillating 4-pole lowpass filter, arpeggiator, step sequencer, the unique modulation section, and five stomp-box effects which can be arranged in any order. That thing was broke during Big Sur and just barely got fixed at the end of last year, thankfully its all good! Akai's network MIDI port app still works, just synced up a song in the MPC with Cubase over network MIDI. MPC still connects and my AMT8 is still working. Cubase 12 works like a charm, I just finished going through a few projects in Ableton Live too. Later when it worked again, managed to test out MIDI Quest (cloud iLok unfortunately), still working but it was a little wonky getting banks from my Blofeld and Microwave. After the upgrade, at one point when wifi was working, I got Cubase, Wavelab, and all my iLok stuff authorized with no trouble (iLok hasn't given me a single issue at all). ![]() I played it safe and deactivated all my Steinberg stuff along with the iLok. The whole first hour was pretty much on for a second, off for a bit, on for a minute, off when I wasn't looking, etc. For some reason after a few more reboots, it's been on for awhile. Managed to install the new nightly of Little Snitch just in case a reinstall might sort it out. ![]() Had to uninstall Little Snitch, then reboot three more times just to get rid of the remoted kernel panic. Had a hell of a time at first with the wifi. Hah I just got everything installed about an hour ago. ![]()
