"the Ramans do everything in threes." - Arthur C. Clarke

It's time for a rendezvous with RAMA, PinkNoise Studio's new para/polyphonic synthesizer.

RAMA is a classic synth on steroids. The heart of RAMA is a vintage synthesizer from the 80s. This is the Korg Poly-800, which has some unusual features:

• oscillators (DCO) build the waveform from variations of 4 simple pulse waves

• Paraphony: polyphonic sounds with a single filter

• six stage envelope generator

But these are only the starting points, RAMA has many other features that make this instrument a powerful synthesizer that can hold its own in any music style.

Additional features

• 3 oscillators with dual filters

• 3 oscillator types: P-800 osc mode, wave or sampler

• 33 waveforms from famous synthesizers (when P-800 mode is off)

• 3 rearrangeable fx units with 12 fx types

• flexible routing

• synth & fx modulation matrix

• XY control pad using macros or performance controllers

• mix pad for real-time mixing of 3 oscillators

• versatile arpeggiator and step sequencer

• 5 play modes: poly, mono, chord, arp, seq

RAMA has different levels of complexity, depending on your needs. Using the grouped global controls it can be simple like an axe, eg. if you want to create a simple bass. But once you separate them, RAMA can be as complex as an airbus cockpit: it's up to you.
