Product Description

• The original "band in your hand" Calc-U-Synth is an emulation of the Casio VL-Tone
• the classic digital calculator/synthesizer hybrid released in the summer of 1979 and manufactured until 1984. The VL-Tone can be run in one of two main modes: calculator or synthesizer. The synthesizer is a monophonic instrument that has 5 preset sounds as well as a user programmable 6th slot called ADSR. Calc-U-Synth was created using the Reaktor Blocks framework
• which means that if you own the full version of Reaktor
• you can incorporate the blocks into your own creations. Spot-on emulation Calc-U-Synth was designed to present the full capabilities of the VL-Tone’s programmable features in a more convenient interface
• while retaining the character of the instrument. Great care was taken to measure and reproduce every aspect of the original accurately. The VL-Tone had its own built-in speaker
• which was analyzed and modeled for an authentic tone. For added lo-fi realism
• the key-click sounds of playing the instrument were also sampled and included. You can dial in as much
• or as little as you like. The sound was then expanded using a number of effects and performance options including an arpeggiator
• circuit-bending glitch controls
• and a filter & delay effect module. Icebreaker Audio Icebreaker Audio
• the brainchild of Adam Hanley
• was created in 2011 as an outlet for boutique product concepts and personal obsessions. Adam's name appears in the credits of many high-profile Kontakt and Reaktor products
• working on anything from African drums to additive synthesis. He is also responsible for the Kontakt scripting at Heavyocity
• pushing the platform to the limit in order to bring even the craziest of ideas to life. Calc-U-Synth was born out of years of R&D into lo-fi synthesis and vintage digital electronics
• combined with Adam's deep appreciation for the digital retro charm of the VL-Tone.
