Get ready for a paradigm shift from a leader in analog modeling technology

IYHO... Taking all things into consideration including the world outside of KVR, the campaign has been going well. There's a ton of interest in this announcement, we've had a full dance card for Superbooth from about two days into the countdown.

Our PR person has better pedigree than that, and in the very market into which we'll be shifting

Indeed. Ppl say there is no such thing as bad publicity...but, if i had not heard of IKM, i would be very dubious about investing in one of their products after reading this thread. As it is, i know of them from old, so keep well away anyway.

Luckily for them, not everyone reads KvR.

I guess its a performance controller or something like that for existing Sampletank products like Syntronik, Sampletank 3, Mirosval Philharmonik. Wich is a pretty cool idea i think But this is just my guess

Its not.

It's been discussed at length. It's a small portable synthesizer, either monophonic or paraphonic, that's not clear, with a simple built in sequencer and an analog filter. If the first schematic is factual then most likely OTA based, probably LM13700, but that's pure speculation based on reasonable priors, but could be completely wrong.

It sounds as if it has two separate envelopes, one for the VCF and one for the VCA. Since they are undoubtedly digital and the interface has four knobs that perform multiple functions, I suspect that the envelopes are ADSR which is probably one of the things that Peter was alluding to when he stated that it was more than a Volca bass.

What's not yet clear is what is the oscillator source. My suspicion is that it's DCO based, particularly if it's paraphonic. Again though, I'm just speculating.

It’ll be analog.

This is their paradigm shift. With my wankery marketeer hat on “we were just modeling analog but now we have moved into the real thing”.

What you are all saying is very logical, first thing that poped to my head when i saw last pic also some sort of analog synth, but im in denial because i have hope for something different because of how bombastic title is "paradigm shift from a leader in analog modeling technology"

Portable small analog synths already done and there is quite a choice tbh:

Waldorf Pulse
Pioneer/DSI Toraiz A1 (aka 1 Voice of Prophet)
DSI Mopho
Korg Monologue
Korg Volca
That new Moog like clone from Roland
Behringer Moog Clone

What did i miss?

First hardware synth with a built-in expansion shop?

I know, that's why i answered his guess with "its not"

Mutable Instruments stuff, and to be clear, most of those (from your list) are not true analogue, they have analogue elements. The ikm one is mostly digital too.

On the general point about portability, how attractive is that in a time where we can fit an entire recording studio on a tablet? If I wanted to make music 'on the go' I'd take a laptop or tablet, not a monosynth. I suppose it's handy for gigging purposes, but other than that I feel like the emphasis on portability (the word was mentioned at least 4 times in their marketing blurb) isn't particularly relevant these days.

Because DCOs are in those synths doesnt make them not analog. Because if that is the case then even VCOs pale against this analog monster
