Eko Panda

Der nostalgische Sound eines Synths aus den frühen 70er Jahren

Das Panda 61 Piano ist ein klassischer 61-Tasten-Synthesizer, der von dem italienischen Elektronikunternehmen Eko in den 1960er und frühen 70er Jahren gebaut wurde. Der Panda wurde angeblich als E-Piano vermarktet, aber das Innenleben und der warme Klang entsprechen dem eines frühen monophonen Synthesizers, mit grundlegenden Wellenformen, die so konzipiert sind, dass sie dem Klang von E-Pianos, Cembalos, Bläsern und Streicher in etwa gleichkommen.

Soundiron fing die 7 Grundstimmen ein, sowohl mit Sustains als auch mit Stakkatos. Sie kreierten 20 Effekt-Presets und 40 einzigartige, Synthie-Patches, Pads, Drohnen und Atmosphären um Ihnen eine ganze Reihe kreativer Optionen zu bieten und gleichzeitig die wesentliche Seele dieses Klangpioniers zu bewahren.

Soundiron packed the GUI with lots of great sound-shaping controls that give you the flexibility to warp the sound in many ways. You have control over Volume, Attack, Release, Transient Offset, Vibrato and Octave layering. The "Glide" control slider allows you to play legato and portamento leads. You’ll also find an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time.

You can also apply your choice of 13 lowpass, high-pass and FX filter, with assignable modulation con-trol options, including velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. You can also use our customizable arpeggiator, with a built-in velocity sequencer table and control over arp direction, note timing, swing, randomization and duration.

The included octave, vibrato and FX rack give you an easy-to-use interface to completely customize and shape its fat analog sound to fit a variety of creative styles.
