After a teaser at SuperBooth this year and a research plugin (to find the best filter), U-he finally released today the REPRO-1 as final product. The sound of this plugin is full of analog charm and character. It has the same high quality aspect than DIVA Synthesizer. I recommend to all my readers, to try out the latest beta version of the product which is available in the KVR Audio forum. In the forum, you find all the informations about the Username and serial number. This version is available until end of the year. I will release in near future, hopefully in January my new sound library for this Synthesizer. As usual, the price of this library will be very fair and affordable for all users.
























Repro-1 is a faithful component-level model of perhaps the most powerful-sounding monophonic keyboard ever built. When its 4-year production run started in the early 1980s, polyphonic synthesizers were almost within reach of the average musician. To be commercially viable, any new monophonic instrument had to be cheap but very capable. Fat drones, cutting leads, funky basses, quirky sci-fi sound effects – this synthesizer delivered on all counts. The circuit design made good use of standard Curtis chips (3340 oscillator, 3320 filter and 3310 envelope) and the little onboard sequencer was more than just a welcome extra. Despite its molded plastic panel and the limitations of monophony, it sold surprisingly well and is generally recognized as an iconic piece of synthesizer history.























Soaring prices guaranteed. So here’s our plug-in version, Repro-1: All the lovable quirks of this classic synth, but with a much more capable sequencer, lots of presets, several under-the-hood tweaks, more modulation options… plus a great collection of cute stomp-box effects.
