With the Grp Synthesizer A10, the Italian manufacturer returns to the dimensions of its earlier analog synthesizers. The A10 even exceeds the A8 with its complex equipment. However, only the design phase of the semi-modular synthesizer has been completed, and we can probably not expect the finished device until next year.
No compromises is the motto for the A10, which is apparently to become the showpiece of developer Paolo Groppioni. The sound generation is more than lavish and the R24 sequencer and several effects have been integrated into the 1200 mm x 560 mm device.
Four equally equipped VCOs with the functions PWM, Hardsync, Cross-Modulation and lin/exp FM form the basis of the sounds. In addition, there is a sub-oscillator, ring modulation, noise generator and external-in.
The filter section is no less impressive. There are two filters, each of which has the choice between two circuits: transistor ladder or vactrol in filter 1 and diode ladder or SVF in filter 2. In addition, transistor ladders offer five slope variants and SVF five modes.
The filters can be operated in series and parallel, can be overridden at the input and can be modulated from numerous sources, including the resonance. A wave folder can be placed in front of or after the filters.
Another highlight is the analog effects section. In addition to the wavefolder, there is a stereo BBD delay (with independent sync and modulation for both channels), a dual triple resonator with integrated LFO, a dual, voltage-controllable phaser with 6 or 12 stages, and a stereo spring reverb.
The integrated sequencer with three rows of eight steps each is based on the standalone R24 device, but has been expanded. The rows can be combined, there is a ratchet function, Step.Repeat, Clock Division and more. At the same time, an arpeggiator can be used, which is controlled via MIDI.
The numerous internal modulators and external CV inputs are either routed directly to the targets or can be connected via a patch section.
There, A10 also has balanced XLR audio outputs. The synthesizer can be controlled via MIDI (DIN) and USB and can be played in mono, dual and split modes.
So much for the information that Paolo Groppioni lets us know about the Grp Synthesizer A10. You can imagine the price range, but in view of the previous Grp models, you can probably say that we can expect a very big synthesizer next year.
