What About This Fat Bastard...?

Just ordered yet again another German made monster.

The XITE-1
HX-3

Now the custom 4 x 4 pole 2 x Moog Ladder multitimbral synth from Hell.

Only cost 1 large.

Dual unison voice lower split using 2 ladder filters
4 voice upper split with 4 pole 24db/12db fatties.

This Dog will hunt..

[jksuperstar]

holy shit that's a very cool setup and I like the dual unison vs 4voice at the split.

...I'm going to play with this in SCOPE with a good bass synth on the low end, and the prophet-vs emulation on the uppers...

Really cool demo - Makes me wanna buy one...

[dawman]

I actually demod one oc these.
On ebay a guy was selling one.
Told him dont worry about me murdering you and stealing your unit.
Already sent questions on ebay making me a suspect.
He eased up and agreed.
What a nice guy.
Showed me the guy who makes these and said he would do custom ladders.
Offerex him 10 buvks and he would not accept it.

An unusually hospitable and dedicated group of Ambika cult followers...

Well those are the guys running "Tubeohm" VSTi company.

Visited their hardware website,-
"Ambika" now called "Tub-Bika" ...

Sounds great IMO.
Actually I´m not sure if different filter-boards are combinable inside one unit only.
"Phoenix", formerly Shruthi, as a monophonic synth is also interesting.

I like the metal cases for both.

Leaves the question who´s doing the final assembly because these are all DIY kits.

Actually Andre is building it.
You can use 3 / 3 but booting S1 allows custom firmware.

I'll make it fat, was fat in Nashville after 5 minutes.
Most these kids like crickets and mangled stuff.

I will punish the Motif Main stage guys again.
They've been spared public embarrassment for too long.
Even Diva pads with nodding heads and wagging tongues won't save them...

What do you mean exactly w/ "3 / 3" and "booting S1" ?

What do you get exactly for a grand and fully assembled ?

6 voiceboards w/ the Ladder-Filter only or additional Filter-boards you´re able to use alternately ?

If additional Filter boards, how does the switching between different analogue filtertypes work ?
Remotely via a MIDI CC command or does it have to be done manually before programming patches and then has to be stored in a preset for later recall ?

Dunno who Andre is, I´m not a Tubeohm customer up to now.
Is he working @Tubeohm and doing the soldering/assembly jobs ?

just asking ...

3/3 is a default split of the voices on 2 x MIDI Channels.
Lower and upper.
Booting the unit on while holding S1 allows assignable voices and filters.
2 voices with moog laxders on a dual voice unison lower split.
4 voices with upper split using. 4 x 4 pole voices.

Tube ohm guy builds them in house on request.

Multis are saved to SD Card.
Then 1 second load times for really deep programmed multis.

Like a Lexicon PCM 70.

Yes Andre seems to have taken over all of mutable instruments older producet lines.
They concentrate on Eurorack modules now.

Thx for all the info, much clearer now !
Just listened to more demos @soundcloud,- I´m very interested !

Bud these little fatties are every bit as big if not bigger than my SSM Waldorf 1 or CODE 8.

[yayajohn]

very interested in this! . I really want to build it myself though, I'll have to practice my soldering a bit before I take the plunge though. If not i'm glad they do offer to do it at the factory....how much for that I wonder?
Huge sound on You Tube video = Major huge sound live! I can see why you are getting one dawman.
Thanks for the info

Its easy really.
Guys in the USA import the parts for 5-600 bucks then sell them for 1 large.
Of course the usual jive about smoke free enviroment and 1 hour use....
I just asked the owner to build it.
Cheaper than buying from guts here.
Plus I get the PC Editor and rgb SD Card included and choice of filters.

Synth "a la carte", this is amazing! I look foward to listen to what you can do with it!

Here´s another one coming !

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/13 ... ynthesizer

about $700,-

already exists on a DIY basis, but now goes a step ahead ...
The guy obviously has some experience coming from the OBX retrofit boards design ...

can´t wait ...

Great sounding 4 Pole Filters.

Now I can enjoy performing even more.
If I dont work with new people and use new sounds and styles I get bored.

But never get bored of fat bastards...

[dawman]

Ambika gets a 2nd newly Modded ADA8200.
Also gets the 2nd TC Fireworx.

Had to get custom made decals too.
Physis K4 has a weak logo.
It too will be covered up with a new logo.
Folks need to know why this synth sounds so good.

I learned how to use the synth.
It is a great real time modulator.
Fat thick breathing pads.
Gigantic monophonic leads and bass.
The thick rubber knobs made these sounds possible I think.
