Analogue Solutions Maximus | A True Polyphonic Synthesizer

Here are several sound demos and examples of the Maximus polyphonic synthesizer. We have included a variety of sound types, but given the vast sonic possibilities and features of the Maximus, demos will need to be spread across several sessions to grasp the scope of what this synthesizer can achieve. This video includes examples of warm pads, sequenced chords, leads, fifths, bass lines, multi-part performances, and combo keys (bass pads). More soon! WHAT IS MAXIMUS? Tom Carpenter is excited to introduce Maximus, an exciting new mega-polysynth with a design ethos from the dawn of analogue synths. It is more than a powerful analogue ‘workstation’ - it is also art, architecture, and exquisite studio furniture. Although we label this as a polysynth - it is so much more. We can’t think of a label to give this synth since it is so much more than that. When you think of polysynth you think of flat synths with one set of controls that control all voices equally. By giving Maximus independent controls for every voice, you have more freedom to create unique styles of poly sounds impossible on traditional polysynths, whether they are hardware or software. You can dial up ‘traditional’ poly sounds (pads etc) or have something unimaginable different. Because you can never dial up each voice completely identically, standard poly pads will sound superbly vintage. All the voice and modulation circuits are of course 100% analogue. We purposely steered away from digital, aside from of course the digital needed in MIDI and the mini-sequencers. This synth is purely for those who want it just as it was in the 1970s - but new with parts still in production, for those who want a synth that could have been built in the 70s. There are no gimmicks - this is pure synthesiser. A huge sound enclosed in a solid metal case wrapped in solid hardwood. No expense has been spared to bring this incredible machine to life. Synthesisers like this only come around once in a decade, or possibly a generation.
