Repro

Authentic raw analogue sound

Repro dives into the past for analogue inspiration, meticulously modelling two famous synthesizers. Every detail of the original was captured using component-level modelling technology to create the most authentic model possible. All the subtle characteristics and quirks found in the originals are present in Repro. One product, one installer, two synths.

Repro contains Repro-1 and Repro-5

Repro-1 is a fierce monosynth: hard working, raw sounding and immediately playable. The classic design is simple and intuitive but belies a deep feature set capable of a wide range of sounds.

Repro-5 is the new polyphonic addition. It has a lot in common with Repro-1, a similar design and feature plus shared sonic DNA. But Repro-5 introduces new flavours, most notably is ability to play lush chords or thick unison leads, while keeping the authentic analogue sound.

Key Features Repro-1

• Unashamedly monophonic
• 4-pole resonant lowpass filter
• Glide control
• Arpeggiator with latch mode
• Sequencer with two 32-step patterns (or 64 steps when chained)
• 3 modulation sources controlling 5 destination
• 2 additional "performance" modulation assignments
• 5 effects: wavefolder/distortion, delay/chorus, EQ/resonator, reverb, sonic conditioner/dynamics processor
• 500 factory presets

Key Features Repro-5

• 8-voice polyphony
• 1 to 8 voice unison with glide control
• Audio-rate voice modulation: oscillator FM (frequency and pulse width), filter FM
• 4-pole resonant lowpass filter
• Flexible modulation options plus 2-slot matrix
• Polyphonic distortion unit with 4 types including bit crusher
• 5 effects: tape emulation, delay/chorus, EQ/resonator, reverb, sonic conditioner/dynamics processor
• Over 950 factory presets

Shared Features

• Powerful analogue sound using component-level modelling
• 2 oscillators: saw / pulse and saw / triangle / pulse
• Oscillator waveforms can be combined
• Waveform pulse width modulation and oscillator sync options
• White noise generator
• ADSR envelope
• "Tweak" screen for adjusting component behaviour
• Host-syncable LFO with 3 waveforms
• Microtuning support (.tun files)
• Resizable UI
• MIDI learn page and editable list
• Global preferences page
• New preset browser with powerful search functions, tagging

Fazit

Wie kaum ein anderer Synthesizer eignet sich Repro-1 als Einstieg in die Weld der subtraktiven Synhthese. Signalweg und Komplexität sind denkbar einfach, erlauben aber dennoch eine große Palette überzeugend klingender, gut spielbarer Sounds. Dank fanatischer Präzision schafft U-HE die ultimative Softwareversion des Pro-One und läutet so die nächste Generation der Emulationen ein.
