Wavefonix has introduced the W314 Modular Synthesizer, a complete modular system in Eurorack format.
They say that the W314 Modular Synthesizer is “perfect for the beginner, looking to delve into the realm of modular synthesis, or equally the music producer looking for a compact system for the road, or to add another voice to their existing modular system.”
The system is housed in a 3U, 104HP skiff, finished in premium quality wood. Also included is a premium integrated PSU from Konstant Lab.
Modules include:
- 1 x Buffered Multiple (4×4)
- 1 x 3340 Dual Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
- 1 x 1847 Wavetable VCDO
- 1 x 3-Channel Stereo Panning Mixer
- 1 x 2140 Low-Pass Filter (LPF)
- 1 x 3310 Envelope Generator (EG)
- 1 x 3360 Dual Linear VCA / 3360 Dual Exponential VCA
- 1 x 3310 VC Envelope Generator (VCEG)
- 1 x Noise Generator (NG)
- 1 x Ring Modulator (RM)
- 1 x VCD Low-Frequency Oscillator (VCDLFO)
Pricing and Availability
The W314 Eurorack Modular Synthesizer is available now for £1,199.99.
Seems like a nice combo. But the stereo mixer has no value here for two reasons: given the way the oscillators are made (multiple outs per VCO, a sub out on the WT osc) 3 mixer inputs in insufficient. Also, because there is only one (single) filter to follow the standard sound path, a stereo out on that mixer serves not much purpose. A 5 input mono mixer would be ideal. And you may have won some space for a S&H module too.
Agree,
Also do not get why the audio/ headphone out is on the mixer module and not a seperate module.
Usually the oscs go in the mixer then to the filter(s) and then to an amp&output module.
Maybe seeing it patched up in a demo video would explain the concept of the stereo mixer & headphone out better.
Thank you both for the feedback. Good points. We’ll add the option to select our 6-Channel Mixer instead of the Panning Mixer, when purchasing it on our store. Thanks, Wavefonix.
This looks great. I’d love to hear how it sounds and works
I agree with the feedback above and admittedly it is an error on my part. Apologies for this. I take full responsibility for this mistake. Thanks for bringing it up.
I have changed the 3-Channel Stereo Panning Mixer to our 6-Channel Linear or Audio Mixer.
Thanks,
Chris
