Imagine stuffing a Moog Modular, ARP 2600, Jupiter-8 and CS-80 into a French chassis and programming it all from a spaceship screen. It was years ahead of its time, born to be the ultimate digital modular hardware synth: the warmth of analog with the brain of a mad scientist. The manual reads like a philosophy thesis and the UI takes commitment, but click with it, as plenty have, and you can build sounds no other synth, then or now, can dream of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES \u0026amp; PROS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModular Environment:\u003c\/strong\u003e patch modeled modules like a virtual Eurorack, with none of the cable spaghetti.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassic Emulations:\u003c\/strong\u003e oscillators and filters from the Moog Modular, ARP 2600, Jupiter-8, CS-80 and Minimoog.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolyphonic \u0026amp; Multitimbral:\u003c\/strong\u003e build whole tracks inside one box if you are brave, or just very thrifty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-End Effects:\u003c\/strong\u003e reverbs, delays and distortions that never sound like a bargain-bin Casio.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep MIDI \u0026amp; Sequencing:\u003c\/strong\u003e serious control and a 16\/32-step sequencer for the DAW-averse synth monk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTen Balanced Outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e assign multiple programs across separate outs and treat each one its own way.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnique Sonic Palette:\u003c\/strong\u003e it does not just emulate analog, it reimagines it in weird, dreamy, digital ways.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WORD:\u003c\/strong\u003e MusicRadar reckoned the long wait was worth it, praising first-class, authentic analogue sound, a totally modular layout and stacks of hands-on control. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.musicradar.com\/reviews\/tech\/arturia-origin-179123\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRead the review\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modular virtual-analog synthesizer (desktop module)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSynthesis:\u003c\/strong\u003e modeled modules from Minimoog, Moog Modular, ARP 2600, Jupiter-8 and CS-80\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArchitecture:\u003c\/strong\u003e free modular patching, polyphonic and multitimbral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSequencer:\u003c\/strong\u003e onboard step sequencer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEffects:\u003c\/strong\u003e reverb, delay, chorus, distortion and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs \/ Outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e multiple analog outs, audio in, MIDI in\/out\/thru, USB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e internal mains PSU (IEC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManual:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.manualslib.com\/manual\/2350299\/Arturia-Tae-Origin.html?page=15#manual\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eArturia Origin manual (ManualsLib)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Arturia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46402282356975,"sku":"","price":24500.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/5992\/9071\/files\/Arturia.heic?v=1744978496"},{"product_id":"yamaha-em-90a-grandma-s-organ-ate-a-drum-machine-and-got-groovy","title":"Yamaha EM-90A: Grandma’s organ ate a drum machine and got groovy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Yamaha EM-90A is what happens when an organ, a rhythm box and a 70s lounge act throw a cocktail party and accidentally record the whole thing to 8-track.

Today it is a collector's piece and a conversation starter for synth-heads, modders, and anyone who wants their studio to look like NASA's backup command centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES \u0026amp; PROS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In Oscilloscope:\u003c\/strong\u003e visualise audio signals like a Bond villain reading seismic charts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTV Tuner with Analog Dial:\u003c\/strong\u003e old-school UHF\/VHF tuning, perfect for surfing the ghost of 1975.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAM \/ FM Radio:\u003c\/strong\u003e for when you want the weather report delivered with genuine style.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRugged Brushed-Metal Chassis:\u003c\/strong\u003e built to survive the apocalypse, or at least a tumble off the workbench.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine Inputs for Signal Testing:\u003c\/strong\u003e patch in a synth and watch the waveform dance in glowing green.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlorious CRT Glow:\u003c\/strong\u003e soft phosphor light that melts any analog lover's heart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e early 1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Audioscope TV tuner with built-in oscilloscope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/strong\u003e VHF \/ UHF TV tuner, AM \/ FM radio, oscilloscope waveform display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e CRT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs \/ Outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e line inputs for signal display, antenna inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChassis:\u003c\/strong\u003e brushed metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e mains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46509050691823,"sku":"","price":8250.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/5992\/9071\/files\/IMG_5537-1100px.webp?v=1749127526"},{"product_id":"lxp-15-lexicon-s-little-reverb-monster-that-refuses-to-sound-cheap","title":"Lexicon LXP-15: Lexicon's Little Reverb Monster That Refuses to Sound Cheap","description":"\u003cp\u003eBefore every laptop shipped with a reverb plugin that sounded fine, Lexicon was building the boxes that defined what expensive sounded like.

Inside, every band is a hand-tuned pair of inductors and capacitors: passive, low noise and almost impossible to kill.

Its party piece is a switch that flips the power stage between Class A for low-distortion, transparent listening (2x15W) and Class B for muscle (2x70W). Underneath sits a serious phono stage with MM and MC support, a massive transformer, huge filter caps and that unmistakable silver-and-wood styling. Built like a vault and voiced to be smooth and non-fatiguing for hours, it is the kind of vintage amp people keep as their main system, not just a shelf piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES \u0026amp; PROS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitchable Class A\/B:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flip from transparent 2x15W Class A to a punchy 2x70W Class B.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGolden-Era Build:\u003c\/strong\u003e Huge transformer, big filter caps and a sturdy chassis made to last decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerious Phono Stage:\u003c\/strong\u003e MM and MC support with a built-in head amp, no step-up needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Sound Voicing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth, warm and non-fatiguing, made for long listening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassic Looks:\u003c\/strong\u003e The iconic silver faceplate and wood-cabinet Yamaha design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDaily Driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e A genuine main-system amp, not just a collector's curio.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WORD:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Vintage Knob notes the CA-1000 sold like hotcakes and was \"the example everybody else quickly followed.\" \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thevintageknob.org\/yamaha-CA-1000.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRead more at The Vintage Knob.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yamaha CA-1000 II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1974\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e integrated stereo amplifier, Class A\/B switchable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2x70W (Class B), 2x15W (Class A) into 8 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhono:\u003c\/strong\u003e MM and MC with built-in head amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-stage DC tone controls, loudness, filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e large-core transformer, 2x 18,000uF caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e around 15.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e phono, line, tape, pre-out\/main-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49717924102383,"sku":null,"price":13500.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/5992\/9071\/files\/IMG_8574.jpg?v=1780999749"}],"url":"https:\/\/innerpieces.art\/collections\/all.oembed?page=4","provider":"Inner Pieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
