Inocybe Studio

I found this one back last week when going through the studio’s iTunes library. It’s a test version we did with Stefan ( vocalist of highway ) on a sunny afternoon somewhere last year I think.  Upon hearing it again, it might be a nice idea to get him back and finish this off..

wel, the second Vermona synth getting some attention on this blog. It’s pretty simple to tell what it is. 4 analogue monosynths packed in a single (pretty high) 19″inch rack. They can be configured in more or less any way you chose (unison, dual, fm, 4xmono, poly).  Each synth on its own is a simple yet adequate thing, with 1osc, 1Lfo, 1filter, 1env, all in all, nothing special there (all the gritty detailed specs you need can be found here). The friendly guys at Vermona even tossed in some insert points, analogue input per synth and separate outputs giving the whole thing a bit of a semi-modular feel. You could, if you’d want to, create such an insane filterbank with it, you’ll be tweaking knobs till the cows come home (whether it will result in something useful is not yet known, researchers are still fiddling with the settings, to get the sound ‘just’ right .. ) .. in short.. nice toy.

Another item where there’s very little info to be found on the internet. I’ve had this one for several years now, so I though a small review for the gear-heads visiting this place will hopefully be appreciated.

You can download the manual at the , so I’m not going to go too much into technical details. It’s the last instance of the famous Space Echo line of reverb/delays roland has produced, and it’s the only digital one in the series, which means not a tape in sight. I suppose this is the reason why it has been neglected by a large part of the people looking for that specific Spae Echo sound. Furthermore, it doesn’t look impressive either, solid black (although very deep for a 1 unit rack module) with only a handful controls.

a video of a live jam session (the camera ran out after 10 minutes, so it’s kinda abruptly cut at the end). Hope you guys like it, maybe we’ll do it again in the future.
