Is a polyphonic 6-voice wavetable oscillator inspired by the hardware design and sound of the PPG Wave 2.2, and it is the only oscillator of this type that uses true 8-bit vintage audio converters from the ’80s. Dozens of wavetables are provided internally, and user tables can be loaded via an SD card. VORTEX6 has built-in vibrato, glide, and six wavetable-scrolling envelopes, all with CV. The ART-in jack and a built-in voice manager take care of incoming notes and distribute them to audio, gate, and velocity outs—either through per-voice 3.5mm jacks or the Polytip jacks.
Together with OCTOPUS, one or more OCTOSTAGES, OCTOPASS, and OCTOGAIN, along with a few Polytip patch cables, it forms the world’s first complete six-voice polyphonic modular synth. Alternatively, VORTEX6 can be patched to discrete mono modules or use its voice mix-out for paraphonic soundscapes with up to 12 oscillators in detune mode.
