Arturia Origin Desktop Synthesizer

• 

 

Origin is the most powerful synthesizer on the market.
As a matter of fact, it goes beyond the traditional definition of synthesizers. It is a hardware DSP system that houses several synthesizers in one machine. Some of these synths come from the past, such as the Minimoog, some are totally new and innovative.

Loaded with modules extracted from the best synthesizers of all time, Origin lets you combine these modules and take advantage of the additional possibilities put onboard. The result: a new type of sound accessible through an extremely intuitive interface.

Features

This is a great sounding and hugely enjoyable synth. I tested it against my moog voyager and I bet no one could tell the difference, I couldn't! Ace.
