After over 1 year of development and a number of design changes along the way i finally collected my Macbeth Micromac desktop synth today.
This is a little box with a massive sound.....

3 Analogue oscillators plus pink noise, moog type ladder filter and and a multitude of patching options, this thing is capable of some serious noise making !
Early impression of this thing is that the bottom end goes loooowwwww !!

Going to run this through an Octatrack input and make use of the delay and reverb and also sample loops on the fly.

When i get some time i'll upload a couple of youtube vids for this one.

Nice addition from the vids I was quite impressed with the sound... I am sure it sounds even better in the flesh...

Even better in the flesh,
Especially when you patch a dark energy into it = 4 Osc !!!

awaiting completion & shipping details from Ken... yours must have been one of the first 7....mine is one of the other 23 !!

Unit number 001..
Went and collected it from him yesterday !

The other 6 are there and gettinf sent later this week once he has done the manual and gets the PSU's.

The next lot wont be far behind those.

That's a badass synth. One of the thickest (no, I don't have a lisp) sounding synths I've heard. If I do another hardware synth it'll be this, or the S1, or both.

I'm waiting for mine too... I used to have M3X SN#001 as well before my divorce...miss that macbeth sound... moog and beyond, and a joy to PLAY too! Congrats! Can't wait to hear what you do with it!

congrats! it´s in my wishlist for sure! just need somebody that could bring it to me!

I´ll be waiting for your video!

micromac + S1 seems to be the most badass monosynth combo ever

get both!

Been playing around tonight trying to sequence the oscillators individually using the Urzwerg and transpose via midi keys. Cant seem to get it working correctly, need to work on it a bit.

One thing is for sure, this thing is FAT, and the moog type filter is incredible.

The unit itself is a bit lighter than i imagined it would be but thats not a bad thing if you intend to be transporting it anywhere. Its a good size for a backpack.

how close to a real vintage mini is it?
I´m looking for a mini-style sound with none of the old technology issues and more up to day and versatile feature set
