Future Impact V4 Bass & Guitar Synthesizer and Analog Modelling MIDI Synthesizer Expander

A comprehensive 4-oscillator monosynth and effects pedal, triggered by audio (with ultra-low latency) or MIDI, which can also drive external synths.

Product Description


How It’s Innovative

1. Extremely low latency, due to very fast pitch recognition algorithm, the fastest and most accurate pitch tracking of any audio driven synth. Unique response acceleration by using previously detected pitch at trigger detection.
2. 4 oscillators with saw, square, triangle waveform generated with 512 kHz sampling rate for extremely high audio quality. Unique fine tuning of oscillators in either cents or in beats.
3. Every oscillator having own decay envelope for saw wave, and individual LFO for PWM.
4. Unique foldover distortion of oscillators individually, or cross-oscillator with 512 kHz sampling rate for harmonically very rich sounds with very high sound quality.
5. Oscillator synchronization from Osc 1 to Osc 2 for very bright sounds.
6. 4 Flexi modules allow arbitrary cross-modulation of parameters in a very intuitive way.
7. In spite of the small internal memory of the processor a unique data compression method allows long delay effect time, compressing five 32 bits audio data into one 64 bit double word.
8. Extremely low noise performance: two Codec input channels driven at different audio levels and two output channels driven differentially provide 10dB S/N improvement.
9. New operating system of V4 allows seamless switching between 4 application programs.
10. CV and Gate outputs can be used to drive 1V/octave analog synthesizers.
11. Free software updating with different applications.
12. Full ADSR envelope, with Release independent of the release of the guitar sound, sustaining the last valid intentional pitch.

Most Inspiring Use Cases

Perfect response with Mohini Dey’s breathtaking playing technique.

Expansion Plans

The next software version will have pitch to MIDI conversion additionally to the current features; it will also implement the author’s patented ultrafast neural net based pitch recognition algorithm.
The operational system of the V4 software allows seamless switching between four separate application programs. Currently only two of these slots are used, next applications coming with FM synthesis, sample replay or multi effect section.

Commercialization

Potential customers are highly motivated by seeing prominent users like Bootsy Collins, Mohini Dey, and Etienne M’Bappe.
