Manufacturer Description:
Interactive inspiration machine. Touch to begin. A complete modular
performance synthesizer, the Lifeforms System 201 packs the Lifeforms
SV-1 analog synthesizer voice and a Lifeforms KB-1 pressure sensitive
keyboard controller into the Structure EP-96, pairing huge sonic
potential with maximum control. Anchored by the classic Pittsburgh
Modular filter and two full range analog oscillators packed with
harmonically rich waveforms, the Lifeforms System 201 offers a rich
sound palette with the flexibility of an open, fully patchable analog
voice architecture. The pressure sensitive keyboard maximizes the
creative process with arpeggios, sequences, triggers, voltage memory and
more.
Interactive Analog Power
Overflowing with sonic potential, the Lifeforms System 201 houses a
refined analog synth engine ready to explore new aural territories. The
feature set includes everything you need to create unique synth sounds.
Roaring bass, shimmering leads, lush pads and warm drones are only a few
knob turns away.
Two larger-than-life, next-generation analog oscillators start you off
on your audio journey with all the classic waveforms: sine, triangle,
sawtooth, pulse, and square. As a bonus, on Oscillator 1 we have
included our exclusive blade wave, allowing for cutting-edge sounds new
to the analog realm. Combined with two sub octave generators, the
oscillator cores of the Lifeforms SV-1 are the perfect base for sonic
sculpting. Modulation is handled with a well curated set of tools: a
dedicated analog LFO, noise, sample and hold, and a clock syncable
digital LFO. Oscillator 2 can also be used as a voltage controllable low
frequency oscillator to create complex west coast synthesis style FM
timbres.
The true sonic character of the System 201 comes from the filter. Rich
and thick, the sound of the revered Pittsburgh Modular Filter is
unmistakable. Absolutely stunning harmonic character with voltage
control over the entire frequency range. A provided attenuverter lets
you dial in exactly how much CV to feed the frequency input, even
inverting the input for dramatic changes in frequency response. Separate
highpass, lowpass, and bandpass patch points are provided for an even
larger tonal palette.
A robust feature set with a fluid, sleek interface empowers you to
create vibrant and thick tones. The included pressure sensitive keyboard
controller allows you to control it. The Lifeforms KB-1 provides a
multi-function, expressive, capacitive touch keyboard designed for
performance. The KB-1 contains a powerful one octave pressure sensitive
keyboard complete with arpeggiator, step Sequencer, preset voltage
memory array, and a pair of multi-mode trigger pads. Eleven patchable
outputs and a deep feature set enable you to cover new sonic territory
with an unprecedented level of control.
