French synth maker NRSynth shared this demo of the Quatuor, a new keyboard synthesizer that’s inspired by the classic Oberheim Four Voice.
Like the Four Voice, the Quatuor is built around four individual synth voices, each with their own controls. This makes the keyboard massive, but also provides a unique level of hands-on control, as can be seen from this photo:
Here’s a demo featuring three classic sounds:

It also makes the keyboard large and bulky, limited in polyphony and saving/recalling presets a hassle.
three sensible arguments for hardware over software.
That way, you get to experience the whole vintage synth experience… eg. everyone lusts over an OB8 and such like but fail to appreciate the weight and the size of such a beast… Now you can have drifting VCOs, iffy patch recall, a sore back and no room all over again. Party like it’s 1982 🙂 All that aside, I really loved their cover of Magnetic Fields pt 1.
The feeling of something out of reach, whether a product or position is hard for those used to accumulating and seeing themselves as superior.
They find faults to convince themselves it’s undesirable and that they’re smarter than those who want it.
Nice!!!
Undoubtedly, those with shallow pockets can move along.
I think it’s cool for experimenting but there are a lot of times when you’ll make a sound you like and just want it poly – this is definitely not the synth for that unless you want to meticulously program every patch you make 4 times. I’d rather have more digitised control so I could use it like a traditional poly or like 4 separate voices or like 2×2 polys.
