Repro-5

Repro-5 shares a lot of sonic DNA with Repro-1, but adds new flavours and characteristics. First: it's polyphonic! Play rich pads, shape them using the resonant lowpass filter, drive the polyphonic distortion unit as hard as you like, and finally polish your sound with five built-in effects. Keep it lush, or go for thick detuned unison leads. Repro-5 adds new dimensions to the familiar classic sound while keeping analogue authenticity front and centre.

Why Repro-5?
First we released Repro-1, a faithful component-level model of what was perhaps the mostpowerful-sounding monophonic keyboard ever built. It seemed that people liked Repro-1 so much, they wanted more... Would we please consider making it polyphonic?

After umming and ahing about the idea, we decided to give it our best. A few cuts were inevitable (for instance in Repro-1, oscillator B can modulate its own pulse width, which we gladly dropped from Repro-5). We soon realized what was happening to our new baby: It was looking more and more like its true father, a famous 5-voice polyphonic synthesizer from the same company born in 1978.

Features
Tweaks panel
Eye-candy like in Repro-1, the Tweaks page is there to let you change the fundamental behaviour of individual modules. The Repro-5 version includes 10 user-adjustable jumpers (mini circuit connectors) and 6 module tweak selectors, plus Microtuning. All the main controls of the synthesizer are also accessible.

Additionally, since Repro-5 is polyphonic, there's access to a row of 8 trimmers used to set a stereo pan position for each individual voice.

Polyphonic distortion
While Repro-1 includes a sequencer, Repro-5 comes with a distortion unit.

Each voice has its own processor, which means there is no interaction between notes in a chord.
The distortion gets applied to the signal before the rest of the included effects.

There are four different modes available:
Soft Clip, Hard Clip, Foldback, and Corrode - a sample rate reducer and bit crusher, all-in-one.

Stomp-boxes
Repro-5 ships with a set of 5 (excluding the distortion unit) high quality effects in the shape of stomp-boxes. From subtle to extreme adjustments, this section expands the polyphonic synthesizer's capabilities beyond expectations.

While Repro-1 includes Jaws (a wavefolder), Repro-5 replaces it with a saturation unit: Velvet, with support to different modes, followed by the same effects found in the monophonic brother: Lyrebird (a flexible delay, which inspired the creation of Colour Copy), RESQ (semi-parametric EQ or resonator), Drench (a lush plate reverb), and Sonic Conditioner (a stereo saturator and transient designer - to add the right amount of gelatine to your patches). All effects are rearrangeable through drag and drop in the FX Chain section.
