Built around discrete transistors and hand-selected components, it provides the core audio path of a classic subtractive synthesizer in a spacious layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eInstead of patching separate filter, VCA, and envelope generator modules, this unit manages signal routing internally. The input section features a dedicated discrete amplifier that pushes synth levels into soft overdrive. Twisting the feedback control introduces harmonic saturation before the signal hits the low-pass filter stage. Two built-in envelopes route directly to the filter cutoff and VCA levels, keeping patch cables free for external modulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eDuring live performance, large panel controls and widely spaced knobs allow precise frequency shaping without disrupting adjacent settings. The module pairs natively with dual oscillator setups, but acts equally well as an analog processing station for drum submixes or external hardware inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macbeth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58204437021004,"sku":null,"price":1289.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/3055\/0604\/files\/macbeth_macbeth_x_series_mk2_backend_filter_200044_1_1920x1278_e04d1ab4-9864-4c15-b630-4f57c8278527.webp?v=1784899305"},{"product_id":"macbeth-x-series-mk2-dual-oscillator","title":"Macbeth X-Series Mk2 Dual Oscillator","description":"\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eDual Analog Oscillator Core with Integrated Ring Modulator\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Macbeth X-Series Mk2 Dual Oscillator pairs two fully discrete analog oscillator cores with an MC1496-based ring modulator across a spacious 42HP front panel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis module delivers raw,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e vintage analog voice generation using discrete transistor topologies inspired by 1970s synth designs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Built as a primary sound source for complex subtractive patches,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e it houses two independent oscillators featuring dedicated linear FM inputs,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e cross-modulation routing,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and multi-turn precision tuning pots that eliminate the need for secondary fine-tune controls.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn operation,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e the module offers exceptional low-end weight and dynamic flexibility.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Each oscillator voice provides simultaneous sine,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e triangle,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e saw,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and square wave outputs,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e alongside two dedicated sub-octave divider taps for extreme low-end reinforcement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The onboard ring modulator utilizes the classic MC1496 balanced multiplier chip,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e generating thick,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e metallic sidebands and inharmonic timbres when multiplying the two internal cores or external audio sources.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e An integrated noise generator mixes white and pink noise streams directly from the front panel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith its 42HP width and large,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e solid knobs,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e the module demands substantial rack real estate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e However,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e that physical footprint repays your system with uncompromised thermal tuning stability,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e precise tracking across multiple octaves,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and an un-cramped interface optimized for live performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macbeth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59371966890316,"sku":null,"price":1279.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/3055\/0604\/files\/macbeth_macbeth_x_series_mk2_dual_oscillator_200043_1_1920x1282_4cb1bc95-563b-4203-9874-021a9ceb84cb.webp?v=1792588902"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.schneiderskeller.co.uk\/collections\/macbeth.oembed","provider":"SchneidersKeller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
