Marketed as a ‘sonic realiser’, the Impulse Command is a subtractive, semi-modular monophonic analogue synthesizer. With the exception of the essential digital elements (that is MIDI conversion, sequencer control and digital delay/reverb) its entire audio path and all modulation are entirely analogue, using circuits based on vintage 1970s designs. It has huge bass, synth leads, percussion, effects, modular style sounds. It has two voltage-controlled oscillators, a voltage-controlled filter, two envelope generators, digital effects, plus 7 CV inputs and 8 CV outputs for creating complex patches or integrating with other modular synths. Two independent LPFs give this machine the ability produce stereo loops that sound like multiple synths playing at once. Its Sequercizer is a 16-step analog sequencer, while there is also a 16 note MIDI note sequencer, and a ReOrder! function generates completely new melodies from your existing sequence, evolving them on the fly.
