Neuzeit Instruments - WarpEx

WarpEx extends Neuzeit Instruments Warp into a 4-voice polyphonic synthesizer with MIDI, Gate + CV or MPE.

Extension to transform the hybrid synthesizer Warp into a 4-voice polyphonic instrument. Excellently suited for producing long sustained sounds, chords, progressions, or any other tones with rich textures.

The automatic calibration function of Warp can track voltage ranges from WarpEx when applied with Gate + CV for individual voice control, for example with multi-track sequencer. Or it can be used in a hybrid setup for parameters like pitch offsets via control voltage for MIDI notes.

A variety of parameters can be explored through MPE capabilities, even within Warp's factory presets. By transmitting each note via its own MIDI channel, pitch bend sends separately for each key with aftertouch and CC value. These are accessible in Warp's modulation matrix as individual sources, assignable to all destinations. This means that holding down a key can alter the sound by increasing pressure, and the key's touch position further influences the timbre. Where available, key tilt can be utilized for pitch and vibrato control.

Two included MIDI to DIN adapters can switch the voice mode between mono, poly, or MPE, which is indicated by an LED on the panel.
