REPLIKANT 2.5 ANALOG EDITION is a lightweight & thick sounding synthesizer.
Samples are from a real (DIY) analog synth made by us, based on various pubic domain modules.
A X-SAW wavetable has been included, recreating the character of a variable pulsewidth oscillator.

Sampled waveforms:
– Saw
– Sharktooth
– Square
– Triangle
– Sine
– X-Saw
– Noise
+ USER slot (drag&drop a sample in C1 on the FS logo)

Sampling method: straight into the audio interface.

Parameters marked with a * on the UI have a dropdown menu
22 Presets are located in the FS_REPLIKANT2.5_ANALOG PRESETS folder, you will have to copy the file into your own User file.
Load & Save buttons will help you to load & save the presets YOU create.

Tips & tricks:
– The envelopes (AHDSR) have a Hold (H) parameter, holding notes at the sustain level for a fixed length of time before decaying. Pay attention to it because it can cause a completly muted sound.

– Saturation adds some character to the sound but also increases the overall level (gain) and can lead into clipping issues. Use it as a boost and don’t forget the bypass switch.

– Filters are multimode ones. The chosen type of filter plays a major role and really change the overall character of the synth. In extreme values you will get absolutely no sound.

– To get access to the LFOs & Formant filter’s envelope just click on the MOD button, it will open the Modulation panel. Click it again to return to the main view. The square buttons are on/off switches, when enlighted the value is ON. Don’t be fooled by the OFF labels.

– The Output Stage is not intended to be pushed at max values all the time. Every parameter in this stage adds a bit of gain so be very prudent and use the Saturation knob to drop down a little bit the overall gain.

– The Wideness parameter is not intended to be pushed at maximum value all the time. The far left value (0) is Mono, at noon it’s ‘normal position’ and the maximum value is the largest stereo possible. If you are programming a bassline, you should start with a Mono sound.

– The Delay is not synchronized to the tempo of your DAW, you will have to make it right by ear. Not syncing is a choice to give you a more natural / less robotic feeling. Perfectly synced delays are often boring.

– The USER slot allows you to load a single sample by dragging/dropping it onto the FS logo. You must use a C1 note sample unless you want the pitch to go completly bananas. The sample won’t be seamlessly looped so try using long duration ones to avoid a really short bleep above C2.
