Vintage 1982 Synth Emulation

Synapse Audio Software has released Proxima, which they say is  based on a unique analog synth from 1982, famous for its rich 6-voice polyphony, signature Curtis analog chips, and the first synth ever to integrate MIDI input and output.

A spokesperson told us, "Step into the golden era of analog synthesis with Proxima, a meticulously crafted plug-in that brings the iconic warmth and character of a vintage analog synthesizer to your DAW. Powered by advanced circuit modeling, every nuance of the original hardware - from its rich oscillators to its lush filters and saturating amplifier - has been faithfully recreated with unparalleled precision."

Here's more details direct from the company...

While Proxima faithfully recreates the tone and character of the original hardware, additional features have also been added to facilitate the creative process and bring the hardware seamlessly into the sphere of soft synths. This includes additional filter types, a powerful modulation matrix with 10 slots, a comprehensive arpeggiator/sequencer, as well as an effect section to further shape the sound.
