At SynthFest UK 2023, we had the chance to chat with Nathan from Skald Modular about their exciting new offering, an all-in-one voice module that's sure to turn heads. This compact 16 HP monophonic synthesizer voice packs a punch with discrete, through-hole components, delivering a classic analog sound. It features a single oscillator, a 24 dB low-pass OTA filter, a transistor-based VCA, and a Moog-style envelope with decay and release on the same knob.
What sets this module apart is its polyphonic capability. Nathan revealed that their system is designed to accommodate up to four of these voice modules, offering a simple and efficient way to create a polyphonic setup. With MIDI input supporting velocity, pitch bend, and aftertouch, as well as LFO modulation bussed to all voices, Skald Modular has streamlined the process of building a polyphonic synth. While each module functions as a standalone monophonic voice, the prospect of creating a compact and powerful polyphonic system with ease is undoubtedly intriguing. Skald Modular is currently taking orders for the first batch of voice modules.
Available: December 2023
Price per voice: around £500
