The core technology of VIBES MD850 is the new AIS platform (All Integrated Synthesiser), which enables 24 stereo voices in VIBES. However, the modularity of the AIS platform offers the potential for even more powerful and exciting instruments in the future. AIS is also the key element of Mayer EMI's future vision of synthesizers as the central hub for music production.

Pull your sound through the prism and into a spectrum of dazzling tones and timbres. Digitone II unleashes polyphonic dimensions of exciting sonic possibilities. The creative potential is crystallised in unique melodic synthesizer machines and also in rich percussive worlds.

6 Voices from Heaven:With Artemis, the Greek boutique manufacturer presents another highlight in the company's 10-year history.The analogue six-voice sound generation of Artemis has two VCOs per voice with infinitely variable waveshaping, sync function, FM and PW. A sub-oscillator or noise can be added to the VCOs. The creamy low-pass filter can be switched between 12 dB and 24 dB and modulated directly via key tracking, envelope and oscillator or noise.The first-class algorithms from SINEVIBES are once again used in the effects section. The four stereo effect blocks for distortion/bit crush, modulation FX, delay and reverb can be used simultaneously to alienate or refine the sound.Thanks to a mod matrix, connecting external MIDI controllers is also no problem; controller data such as mod wheel, polyphonic aftertouch, velocity etc. can be conveniently assigned to the parameters. The device also supports the new MPE standard.USB-B port, MIDI I/O (5 pin DIN) stereo output and a headphone socket (all 6.3 mm TRS) are available on the connection side.
