Dreadbox Nymphes

6-voice desktop synthesizer

With Nymphes, the synthesizer cult forge from Athens once again dives deep into Greek mythology. The inspiration for this was provided by none other than Homer, who already reported about 700 years before Christ in his Odyssey of nymphs as beings of divine descent.

Nymphes is an extremely compact six-voice, completely analog desktop synthesizer. Per voice it offers a "waveforming" oscillator plus sub-oscillator, 2 envelopes, noise and an extremely fast LFO including 5 waveforms, key tracking, fade in and fade out. Additionally there is another common LFO (LFO2) with the same features, which can act on each and several parameters with different strength at the same time and reaches into the FM range.

As a filter, besides a resonant 24 dB low pass filter with precise tracking, another 6 dB high pass filter is available. Its 6 voices can be managed in 6 "play modes" including extremely fat unison. Per preset 7 chords can be stored for the "Chord Mode". The impressive basic sound is refined by a lush reverb, which seamlessly merges with the sound generation and gives the sound an additional depth. Connection to the outside world is via MIDI (3.5 mm jack) or USB, while USB also serves as the power supply.
