Black Corporation - Xerxes mk II

Xerxes is an eight-voice analog synthesizer modeled after the legendary Italian Elka Synthex.

In 1981 the Synthex was a very advanced synthesizer with two DCO's per voice, pulse amplitude modulation and multimode filter, which was surprisingly stable even with FM modulation with high index. Xerxes extends this concept with modern MPE integration and a preset management system and comes in a dreamlike stable design as you would expect from Black Corporation.

Features:

• 8-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer
• 2 discrete logic DCOs per voice
• analog HP/BP/LP filter
• 2 LFOs
• 2 ADSRs
• polyphonic velocity and aftertouch
• full support for MPE (Midi-Polyphonic Expression)
• analog BBD stereo chorus
• 4U rack size with removable rack ears and wooden side panels
• 10 Preset Banks (x128)

MK2 version features an updated VCA section, balanced outputs and high quality audio via USB conversion.
