New warm sounds from the 8-bit Atmegatron
The much anticipated Odytron Special Edition is released today. The Odytron is a limited edition Atmegatron, pre-loaded with the brand new Odytron software and factory presets, as well as having unique Odytron paintwork. Only 150 units have been manufactured.
The Odytron is £225 inc VAT (approx $339) and currently only available from the webstore.
The Odytron software simulates the specification of a classic analogue synth but in an 8-bit environment. The result is a fascinating combination of analogue warmth and 8-bit grit. Features include: 2 independent oscillators (duophonic), 2 filter algorithms + bypass, 2 envelopes, LFO, ring mod, wave sync and numerous modulation methods.
Despite the sound being radically different to the original Atmegatron software, the Odytron is 100% Atmegatron compatible and comes bundled with 3 overlays and a programmer cable. This means that it is essentially 4 synths for the price of one. The overlays for the alternative synth engines are: Atmegatron (the classic software), Atmegadrum (drum machine) & Delayertron (delay effects synth).
Odytron software now on downloads page
Existing Atmegatron owners can download the Odytron software from the downloads page for free and can also purchase optional extras: vinyl overlay, programmer cable and instructions.
