Introducing UNSTABLE

Morphoice is excited to unveil the early beta version of an innovative software synthesizer that captures the spirit of Yamaha’s renowned CS-80 analog synthesizer.

Introducing UNSTABLE: while it doesn’t aim to be a mere replica of the classic CS-80, this synthesizer draws heavily from its rich heritage, striving to provide an authenticity that surpasses what’s currently available in the market.

Highlights of UNSTABLE:

  • UNSTABLE features a dual-layer synthesis engine, offering an array of oscillators including noise, sawtooth, and pulse waves.

    This design allows users to manipulate pulse width and adjust modulation speed, making it easy to mix waveforms and recreate those lush, classic sounds.

  • Adding to its charm is a high-pass filter inspired by the CS-80, paired with a Moog-style ladder low-pass filter that can self-oscillate.

    This combination crafts a diverse range of musical harmonics, enhancing your sonic palette.

  • The synthesizer’s ring modulator stands out with its analog-style attack and decay envelope, which affects modulation speed, creating extensive creative possibilities for sound design.
  • A unique on-screen ribbon controller enables real-time pitch bending of up to an octave, bringing an interesting dynamic to your musical creations.
  • For those who enjoy intricate arrangements, UNSTABLE includes a remarkable 16-step arpeggiator.

    Users can adjust both note and modulation settings, although some functionalities are still being polished for optimal performance.

  • A special drive circuit adds a layer of analog warmth and subtle harmonic distortion, enhancing the overall loudness and clarity of your sounds, ensuring they cut through any mix.
  • Furthermore, the synthesizer is equipped with built-in effects, featuring the immersive DarkStar Reverb and Delay, along with the enchanting WingMen Chorus, designed to elevate your audio experience to new heights.
