AX73 Synth by Martinic

Martinic's AX73 synth plugin is a faithful recreation of the 80's analog synth from Akai, with added features and enhancements including an easy to use preset editor, and a suite of FX including compression, chorus, phaser, flanger, reverb, delay, distortion, and an EQ section.

This plugin is also no longer limited to 6 voice polyphony, and includes an arpeggiator based on the AX60, stackable layers, and flexible split function.

NOT A SAMPLE LIBRARY
Martinic specializes in precise circuit modeling and emulation and this synth is the perfect example of that. It functions as an exact replica of the components used to make the original AX73 synth keyboard, but with modern computing capabilities to lift the limitations of the original.

In short, it's a SUPER SYNTH, capable of incredible sound creation.

WHAT YOU GET IN THIS SYNTH:

OSCILLATORS

• Two VCOs per layer
•  Waveshapes: Saw, Triangle, Square, Saw + Triangle, Sine
•  Pulse width assignable when using any waveshape
•  Sub oscillator per VCO
•  Pink noise generator per layer

FILTER

• Filter per layer (LP/BP/HP) with self-oscillating capability
• Filter slope: 6, 12, or 24 dB per octave
• OWFM feature modulates the VCF frequency using the oscillator frequency

VOICES AND LAYERING

• Stack or split Upper and Lower layers to create unique and complex patches
• Up to 24 voices of polyphony, quadrupling the original six
• Keyboard allocation round-robin feature
• MIDI Split mode allows two MIDI channels to play the Upper and Lower layers
• Assign mod wheel control to Upper, Lower or both synth layers

MODULATION OPTIONS

• Four DADSR Envelope Generators per layer (one hardwired to VCA level)
• Four LFOs per layer
• Modulation destinations: VCO, VCF, VCA level, PWM, Resonance, OWFM, Pan
• LFO shapes: Saw Up/Down, Triangle, Square, Random, Parabola Up/Down, Sine
• Envelopes can be inverted for falling pitch and filter effects
• Step function on LFOs acts like sample-and-hold operation over traditional waveshapes
• Retrigger modes on LFOs and Envelopes including Legato, Poly and other options
• Poly/Dual/Unison keyboard assign modes, with variable Detune
• Mono mode with Low/High/Last note priority
• Solo/Poly Portamento with adjustable Time

ARPEGGIATOR (from AX60)

• Arpeggiator per layer with variable Rate and Hold function
• Modes: Order, Up, Down, Incl, Excl, Rise, Fall, Random, Shuffle, Improv, Chord
• Cycle arp playback through Octaves, sync to DAW tempo and choose gate Length
