Quick Summary

Compact semi-modular percussion synth with two oscillators, multi-mode filter, dual 8-step sequencer and 16-voice Poly Chain — still under warranty, unused, with complete accessories like new.

Product Description

Analog Semi-Modular Percussion Synthesizer with 2 Oscillators, Multi-Mode Filter, Dual 8-Step Sequencer and 16-Voice Poly Chain. Copy: unused, still under warranty, bought in new condition with complete accessories.

Features and functions

Two freely tunable oscillators (VCO 1 and VCO 2) with pulse and triangle waveforms for creating rich harmonic sounds
4-pole HP/LP Ladder filter with variable offset and resonance for dynamic sound shaping

16-voice Poly Chain allows chaining of multiple EDGE units for up to 16 voices
Two independent generator envelopes (EG) for each VCO and one envelope for VCA decay
White generator and pink noise for textures and effects
External audio input for harmonic processing and sound transformations
Spacious CV/Gate views with individual inputs and outputs for modulation
USB and MIDI IN/OUT connectors for integration into modern music setups
Headphones output with built-in amplifier for individual monitoring
Clock synchronization with choice between MIDI, USB and internal/external source
Extensive patchbay with a matrix of connections for unlimited signal routing
Compact and portable design with adapter power

Typical routing

Bass line with sequencer: EDGE generates a synchronized bass line
• Program an 8-step sequence with bass notes
• Set Tempo and Scale according to song tempo
• VCA OUT → Audio IN on mixer
• Synchronize Clock OUT with other devices (TR808, TR909, etc.)
• Experiment with Filter envelope and Resonance for dynamic structure
Drum sounds and percussion: EDGE as a tool for generating drum and percussion sounds
• Set short knocker Decay times on the VCO Envelope
• Use OSC 2 to create clicking or clicking sounds
• Create an 8-step pattern with different pitches
• Set a Noise mix for kick-drum textures or hi-hat
• Control Velocity sequencer for pattern dynamics
Poly Chain (16 voices): Chain multiple EDGE units for polymultiplicity
• Connect the MIDI IN of the second EDGE unit to the MIDI OUT of the first EDGE
• Set MIDI Channels differently on each unit (Ch1, Ch2, etc.)
• Send MIDI notes to the first EDGE
• All units play synchronously with up to 16 voices
• Mix outputs from all units together for a rich sound

Connection instructions: The examples below show typical signal flows in practice. For specific details (jitter, buffering), see section above.

Notes / service / modifications

Compact design allows easy portability and integration into live setups
Excellent for experimental and modern sound design
USB and MIDI integrate EDGE into DAW workflow
16-voice Poly Chain is a unique and powerful opportunity for expansion
All outputs are active and can be used independently (e.g. Headphones + VCA OUT)
External audio input allows filtering of external sources
