RED Sound announces a hot new version of its acclaimed DarkStar analog-modelling synthesizer, DarkStar XP2.
The heart of the original DARKSTAR remains unchanged - stunning modelled analog sounds faithfully recreating vintage
analog synth sounds at a fraction of the price. The basic specification still boasts 8-voice polyphony with 2 oscillators per
voice, 5-part multi-timbral operation, joystick control, pink/white/blue noise generators and two external audio inputs.
New features include 4 individual assignable outputs [all audio connectors now 1/4" jack], additional sine waveform, jog dial
control for simple program/voice select, headphone output, master volume control and a new purple/silver colour scheme.
The optional conversion feature has now been improved to accommodate two application chips simultaneously. When a
second application is installed, either one can be accessed instantly from the front panel allowing the user to switch between
applications at the touch of a button.
Conversion kit prices will remain at £29.50 with the VOCODA option being the first available this year.
- Available: May 2002
- Suggested UK retail price: £299.00 inc VAT.
- Size: 340(W) x 230(H) x 50(D)mm (13.4x9x2 inches)
- Weight: 2.35Kg
All RED products are covered by a 3-year warranty.
