At Knobcon 2024, we caught up with Guido from GS Music to discuss their flagship synthesizer, the E7, and a new entry, the V6. The E7 is a seven-voice analog polyphonic synthesizer featuring two oscillators with sub-oscillators, a four-pole ladder filter, VCA, and built-in chorus and delay. It supports four-part multi-timbrality and MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) for versatile performance options. Guido demonstrated various sounds, emphasizing the unique triangle, sawtooth, and pulse waveforms, along with robust modulation capabilities. The E7's oscillators include a new temperature compensation circuit ensuring consistent tuning.
Guido also presented the V6, a six-voice analog polyphonic synth equipped with a single oscillator per voice, pulse width modulation, the same ladder filter as the E7, and additional features like an arpeggiator and sequencer. The distinctive "polystereo" panning mode was highlighted, providing a wider stereo spread for the voices. Both models will be available through GS Music's website and various dealers worldwide, with pricing details provided for each.
