Synthfest UK 23: Analogue Solutions - Maximus - 8 Voice Monster
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 окт 2023
- At Synthfest UK 2023, we caught up with Tom from Analogue Solutions who gave us our first hands-on look at the Maximus Analog Synthesizer. While it might not be as colossal as its predecessor, the Colossus, the Maximus still packs a punch. This beast features 8 individual voices, each with its own sequencer, giving musicians the flexibility to craft a wide range of sounds, from lush pads to percussion elements. Maximus employs a vintage-inspired approach to tuning, with no central control, harking back to the 1970s ethos of hands-on control. While it is capable of huge polyphonic patches, Tom's vision for the Maximus is to offer musicians the ability to create diverse sequences and utilize the voices independently, allowing for rich sonic exploration. With its voltage-controlled filter and multi-mode options, it's clear that the Maximus draws inspiration from classic analog synths like the Oberheim SEM. Additionally, it boasts a five-octave keyboard with aftertouch and a unique touchplate with triggering and flexible CV capabilities. Analogue Solutions has embraced a normalization approach, making patching a breeze, while also providing the option to switch out circuits for advanced sound design. The Maximus also offers delay and spring reverb effects, further expanding its sonic palette.
With the first production run already sold out, tom is busy crafting the next batch and the Maximus should become available again in November 2023.
Analogue Solutions Maximus Price: £22,500

Behringer left the chat...
Clone this Uli, I dare you! 😂😂😂
I fell out of my chair from this comment 😂😂😂😂
It's so great to see Tom's enthusiasm.. He loves what he does.
Just great ❤️
NOW,,,,, THAT IS A SYNTHESIZER....
sonic, you guys have made me a huge fan of Analogue Solutions!
I had a play with it on Saturday. Simply astonishing what you can do with it.
Sounds killer. Proper EBM vibes.
I love Toms no nonsense down to earth delivery and descriptions
Phenomenal!
That keyboard is gorgeous 🥰 9:19 I was just thinking how this man finances these builds perhaps he only has to make one or two. Analogue solutions looks as good as it sounds. 👍
It's Alive! Soooooooo good. Congrats Tom Carpenter for bringing the analog strength 💪 ⚡️🔉🔊🍻🙏🤍
Merci ! So important to keep on make us dream, Mr Carpenter. Thanks. Analogue Solutions make me dream...
If I win the lottery, would love to get one....that reminds me, need to check my tickets.
This synth costs almost 10 times as much as my car. 😅 I am glad it exists, very aspirational, like a Ferrari.
Haha, mine too
Wow!
This belongs on the first spaceship headed to a distant planet, worth its weight in gorgeous tones.
I was half afraid to touch anything😂
It's an absolute beast!
I love this stuff; there's a pretty barrier to entry with all of their products (the cost - I suspect you'd have to be a working musician [or just well off} to buy this) - But its amazing to see it happen regardless. Cool stuff.
I wonder how much it'd come down if it was more mass produced? But I can also see a lot of people in small apartments / studios that just don't have the room for this. Heck , I don't - but would love to have this on a table.
have the room, not the money 😂
uaaaaahhhh i need money
can you make it vetural with some type of hand's on control to cut the menu diving
The obvious next steps are a 4 voice Medimus and a 1 voice Minimus.
Ppl may think you are joking, but we need this.
😮
tom make a plug in version for us up & commers out here..
Some people push the envelope and others define it. We need both, so this is a great push.
Then I start thinking that I could get a moog1 and 8 Behringer system 55's for $22k heh.
Seriously, someone finally gets what I'm trying to do with a 16ch/layer workstation and external synth modules. Same thing: every synth has all the stuff like on maximus' 8 channel strips, just have to clock everything together with midi
Other price?!
Can't afford it, but I suppose I can just wait for the Baximus 😅
22500 Фунтов ! Уххх
OMG, Why was I born poor as a rat? I only have one Nyborg12 😞
Mate, layer it in your DAW. The Nyborg voice per voice sounds better than this!
😂😂😂😂££££
22 grand. Okey dokey. 😄 Lovely machine, but at that price it's not exactly The People's Synth Of The Year. Meanwhile, here's Behringer with the weather... 😉
Lol 😂
Are you kidding? You have the opportunity to test 8 voices poly and you show 4 voices in unison?
it's obviously not the machine for you...
@@ChevytravellerukI will receive mine this month. First batch as Colossus owner
It was setup to demo it’s not just a standard 8 voice poly synth for 25k. Because that’s what some would think otherwise
He did play all 8 voices. It’s ‘8 mono synths that can do poly sounds’, some were doing drums and bass and the 4voice mono at the same time during the demo.
Then you should start thinking beyond the usual polysynth paradigms.. this beast is quite different
On n'en a plein le cul des dents de scie des carrés et des triangles ! Quand est-ce qu'on va recommencer à innover? C'est trucs là on a fait le tour depuis longtemps y'a plus rien d'original à sortir avec ! C'est toujours les mêmes sons qui reviennent depuis 50 ans!!!
il est vrai, c'est pour cela que j'ai acheté un perkons hd-1 ^^ differentes combinaisons de wave interessantes. En plus pou ren revenir à la machine maximus, 22500 euros pour un 8 voies, c'est un peu du foutage pour être poli, et de ce que j'entends rien d'extraordinaire...autant acheter 8 x cat behringer d'occaz' à 200 euros
It's what a lot of people want. Behringer wouldn't be owning the market if that wasn't the case. There's something visceral about analog electronics.
I would love to hear what you think about the piano and guitar. 😂
@@fortheloveofnoisethe wobbly teeth of pianos and jagged twang of guitar, lol
@@fortheloveofnoise dry guitar sounds, and piano are not my cup of tea
0:34 screw peoples wallets more like! 💸
It’s not pinching pennies from anyone, it’s a specific instrument for studios or classrooms. Not sure why everyone expects high end instruments to not carry a corresponding price.
@@entertaintech4374 that’s not an instrument, that’s masturbation, strawman-wanker
Even if I were rich, I wouldn’t buy these monstrous synths - that don’t even sound good, imho. They’re big. They drone. But there’s nothing impressive about the filter character, sound, etc. The ribbon control didn’t even seem very responsive. Cumbersome and expensive … errr, OK … Have fun with all that.
22.5 thousand pounds?? Obviously not for me but what on earth does it give people for that much money....... I just think the modular thing has gone crazy and has become very fashionable but hey whatever floats your boat actually you could buy a boat for that a pretty good one. But no doubt it's a beautiful looking thing
About 3 grand per voice isn't bad modular wise and considering the build quality. I love Analogue Solutions modules they are quality. Your getting an Oscillator, sequence, the filter the vcas, and all completely patchable. Now I'm assuming you get the keyboard and the master panel which has lfos etc. It's not a bargain, but its supreme for what it is. I would take two voices with an extra oscillator detunable each with the keyboard and master thingy for about 7k I could see that selling fairly better than this beast.
This is comparable to the origin of synthesizers, where they would cost that much or more for such custom instruments. It’s not for everyone, nor has it ever been.
@@robbrobb5543 Keyboard is an optional extra, think it’s 2k
amazing analog sound and touch.
Whats the point in a synth that does everything when it sounds so average as in nothing special
With respect, you had to be there. I had a short play on it, and it's everything from creamy to absolutely nuts!
The only thing 'average ' about it, is the user.
@@LFOVCF im talking about the sound, tone..wether you do everything or nothing..do you not understand? What makes the mini moog, what makes a dsve smith what makes any world renowned synth..is it what it can do? No, its how special it sounds
