Fahrenheit is the Chameleon-based evolution of the electronic music making machines that were introduced in the early 80's from Japan, and have since become collecters items.
The now-classic bassline monosynth was intended to emulate a real bass player, maybe as a practice aid for guitarists, while the classic rhythm boxes that they made were developed to try to emulate real drummers. However, at the time many musicians didn't like them as the machines simply sounded synthetic and could not replace the real thing. But the development of music always takes unexpected turns.
Features:
* 2 monosynth bass machines both emulating the original bassline synth
* 2 rhythm machines emulating the original dance/hip Hop/Electro rhythm boxes
* 4 distortion units
* 4 compressors
* 1 resonant KeyFilter, Low-Pass or Band-Pass, with the option to map the cut off Frequency across a MIDI keyboard
* 2 simple delay units
* 1 complex stereo delay unit
* 1 reverb
* Two audio inputs (L&R) for processing of external sound sources in the mixer and FX alongside the internally generated sounds
* Total of 26 voices (2 audio inputs, 2 synths, 11 per rhythm Box) and 13 effects (1 resonant filter, 4 distortions, 4 compressors, 3 delays and 1 reverb) available at once
* An independent 26 channel mixer section (allowing one for each sound source) with totally flexible routing for fast and creative mixing. any sound source can be combined with any other for FX treatment.
* Real-time triggering and control of any sound and parameter using MIDI
* MIDI synchronization to internal or external tempo, with automatic recognition - the LED next to SHIFT key pulses in time with the tempo used
* Individual MIDI channels for each sound generator, the effects section and the mixer
