Sporting a bold and blocky design the Rhodes Chroma is a 16-voice analog synthesizer from 1982.
Rhodes Chroma是一款1982年的16声模拟合成器,大胆而厚实的设计。
One of the first microprocessor-based analog synths it was also the last keyboard designed by ARP, makers of the 2600 and Odyssey among others, before being sold to CBS in 1981.
它是最早的基于微处理器的模拟合成器之一,也是ARP公司(2600和奥德赛等产品的制造商)设计的最后一个键盘,在1981年被出售给哥伦比亚广播公司。
The Chroma could be used as either a 1-osc/16-voice or 2-osc/8-voice synthesizer and was programmed primarily via a large array of membrane buttons (’80s in every sense).
Chroma既可以用作1-osc/16-voice合成器,也可以用作2-osc/8-voice合成器,主要是通过大量薄膜按钮进行编程(从各个意义上来说都是80年代的)。
While programming wasn’t convenient, the design was fairly sophisticated with a rich sound, never harsh – perfect for bass, strings, funky piano sounds and plucks.
虽然编程并不方便,但设计相当复杂,声音丰富,从不刺耳-完美的低音,弦乐,funky钢琴的声音和拨弹。
Following the Chroma was the Polaris, a 6-voice analog synth released in 1984.
继Chroma之后,1984年发布了Polaris,这是一款6声模拟合成器。
While being simplified in some ways the Polaris has more memory and an extensive MIDI implementation with full parameter control and can play multiple patches at once.
虽然在某些方面进行了简化,但Polaris拥有更多的内存和广泛的MIDI实现,具有完全的参数控制,可以同时播放多个补丁。
Like the Chroma, Polaris has a fat analog sound capable of incredible bass, brass, strings and more – even some Synthex/Rendez-vous’esque sounds thanks to its sync parameter.
像Chroma一样,Polaris有一个丰富的模拟声音,能够令人难以置信的低音,铜管,弦乐和更多-甚至一些Synthex/Rendez-vous的声音,感谢它的同步参数。
We seldom see these synths anymore but their sounds are eminently worthy, and still exceptionally potent – full of the rich analog warmth and character you’d expect from an ARP.
我们很少看到这些合成器,但他们的声音是非常值得的,仍然非常有力-充满丰富的模拟温暖和角色,你会期望从ARP。
Kroma 1.5 includes two instruments, Kroma and PolarX – a new dual-layer synth.
Kroma 1.5包括两个仪器,Kroma和PolarX -一个新的双层合成器。
Both come packed with custom designed presets programmed on fully-restored hardware units, including Arpeggios, Bass, Bells, Brass, FX, Leads, Pads, Strings, Sweeps.
两者都包装了定制设计的预设程序完全恢复硬件单位,包括琶音,低音,铃声,黄铜,FX, Leads, Pads, Strings, sweep。
Even the basic waveforms of the keyboards were sampled to allow design of new patches.
甚至对键盘的基本波形进行采样,以便设计新的贴片。
Take complete control of these classics with a built-in arpeggiator, step sequencer, LFOs and high-quality FX.
完全控制这些经典与内置琶音,步骤音序器,LFOs和高质量的FX。
