SuperWave P80

A powerful virtual analogue synthesizer incorporating embedded FM synthesis.

Many SuperWave customers asked us if it was possible to implement a step sequencer into the P8, Professional or Trance-Pro and to have more control over oscillators and tuning parameters. We decided to develop a new synth based on the P8, Professional and Trance-Pro and share the powerful control surface from the Performer. The P80 features four sixteen step Sequencers, Phrase Arpeggiator and Multi-Effects which include Chorus, Double-Delay, Distortion and EQ. The P80 also features an overall detune function in each sound bank making it far easier to detune all oscillators with one simple control. The P80 is awesome at producing huge leads, pads and strings etc. If you produce trance music, you're going to love the P80.
