Intellijel Designs - Cascadia (Dark Grey)

Intellijels Cascadia is a semi-modular mono synthesizer - developed by synth enthusiasts to be the do-it-all instrument that can produce both subtle and intense soundscapes.

Cascadia is a performance-oriented, "East and West" Coast modern analog semi-modular synthesizer that features a plethora of sound sources, shapers, modulation and utility to realize a vast range of sounds. With two oscillators, a fully-modulatable filter, wavefolding and ring modulation, as well as two independently-configurable envelopes, Cascadia offers an abundance of sonic possibilities. The onboard utilities include LFOs, a VCA/LPF/LPG combination, sample & hold and mixuverters, among others. Additionally, external audio can be incorporated and instead of moderately good effects an actual Send & Return has been included - all conforming to the Eurorack standard. Cascadia is semi-modular, so there a no patch cables needed to produce sound, but its many patch points allow for signal rerouting, increasing its flexibility and expanding its capabilities in the usual modular way.

Cascadia is a fully eurorack compatible synthesizer with two precision analog oscillators. One capable of operating at LFO rates and one with thru-zero modulation and syncing possibilities. The liquid-sounding, 4-Pole filter provides extensive modulation options. Here you get not one, or two, but three FM inputs, along with a multitude of modes. Looking to the western horizon of synthesis is rewarded with a 4-Pole Diode Ladder VCF combination for additional dynamics - Lowpass-Gate-Style.

Modulation-wise you get two envelopes. One with ADSR/AHDSR stages and a syncable, multimode function generator. The triple analog LFO with linked, divisible rates and CV control sets you up for wild and highly complex modulations.

Additionally, Cascadia gives you a six-channel waveform mixer with asymmetric soft clipping, an extensive utility section that includes Noise, S&H, Envelope Follower, Attenuverter, Buff Mults, Summer and Inverters, as well as an analog ring modulator and a nice sounding parallel "West Coast" style wavefolder.

Whether used alone or integrated into a larger system, Cascadia is Intellijel's answer to all synthesis questions. Suitable for both beginners and professional musicians, it bridges the gap between past and future - East and West Coast.
