RawPrime is a physically modeled hybrid synthesizer, built using specific digital and analogue electronic components derived from the 1970s-1980s telecommunications industry.

Meant to be a real-world replicable device and manufactured using vintage electronics, RawPrime features a very original synthesis approach : at first it generates huge amounts of aliasing signals on purpose, then it uses that aliasing signals as its sole sound source.

Description

LittleOne is a faithful software emulation of one of the most legendary and appreciated hardware analog synthesizers, compact in design but also extremely powerful and expressive.

RawPrime is a physically modeled hybrid synthesizer built using specific digital and analog electronic components derived from the 1970s-1980s telecommunications industry.

Meant to be a real-world replicable device and manufactured using vintage electronics, RawPrime features a very original synthesis approach: initially, it generates huge amounts of aliasing signals on purpose, then it uses those aliasing signals as its sole sound source.

An expressive analog filter, a set of modulators accessible from a matrix interface, two multi-effect slots, and a creative polyphonic arpeggiator complete the picture: RawPrime aims to be one of the all-time favorite vintage synthesizers from a past that never was.

WATCH WALKTHROUGH

Part 1

Part 2

It's truly fascinating how deep and distinctive certain vintage devices can sound. They were built many decades ago, using components with loose electrical tolerances and adopting manufacturing processes miles away from today's standards of perfection. But they sound great, expressive and genuinely bold.

For this reason, RawPrime uses late-1970s / first-1980s telecommunications-class numerically controlled oscillators (NCOs) and digital to analog converters (DACs) components, carefully modeled in the virtual realm thanks to today's CPUs real-time processing power.

Internally, this hybrid digital-analog component is arranged in a very original way to generate a great number of overtones exclusively from the aliasing signals produced by such imperfect vintage technology.

All this raw sound material is then crunched by an expressive 2-pole resonant low-pass diode-ladder analog filter with a specific, uncommon design.

An additional non-resonant high-pass analog filter, three analog envelope generators, two digital sinusoid LFOs, and a full modulation matrix open the doors to extended sound design possibilities.

Two insert/master effects slots and a creative multi-mode polyphonic arpeggiator complete the setup, making RawPrime a premium performance synthesizer for both live use and studio productions.
