Björn Arlt is plain and simple genius, and his synths do their job at the top level.

For those with the original machine, it can be of interest to have a look at this MIDI editor.

In reply to Phil H.

In an alternate universe, the Atari ST used those chips… *salivating*
Do you know if those demos are floating around the interwebs, either as sound/video or even better as SYX files?

Having been one of the three global guys responsible for selling this thing, I’ll paraphrase Dave who said that We didn’t do as good a job on that as we could have. The front end of the envelopes was on the wrong planet, although not as bad as the 600 where all the resolution was scaled tighter later on the knob. When as synthesists will tell you, most of a sound’s interpretive value is in the attack stage.
For the trivia buffs the chip in this, the Multi Trak and the Max was “free” as Sequential designed the chip not for a proprietary synth/keyboard, but for our back door neighbors, Atari. Which explains some of the game sound presets, the third envelope and six independent LFOs.
Six part mutlitimbral, even monophonic, led to many interesting and slapstick demos from Switced on Bach clones to the theme from Hogan’s Heroes. Some fun now.

In reply to Nine.

Some would say, a bucket full… (still waiting for a Polysix, Mr. Bucket ;-)

Such a deceptively simple synth, but the multi-track trick (sic(k)) makes it a beast.

I had one of these, but had to sell it. I still miss it. Not for much longer. Mr Full Bucket deserves an award! Especially as it’s easier to use. Sigh…

Full Bucket synths are super fun, and there’s like 30 of ’em!
