Digital 12-bit oscillators meet analogue filters in this creative little synth module. Six-voice polyphony, preset storage and MIDI control make for a compelling instrument with its own distinctive sound.

Supplier's Notes:
The Tooro is Fred's Lab's new 6-voice 4-part hybrid "digilog" polysynth.

Including the latest discoveries in mixed electronics, the original FL A847 analog filters, this is the perfect module for demanding sound designers and every musician seeking distinctive tones with a strong personality, in a very compact form factor.

Each voice offers 2 complex digital oscillators with waveform morphing, 2-operator linear phase modulation and self-sync features plus a noise source, a ring modulator, the unique FL A847 lowpass filter accompanied by a digital shaper, 2 advanced LFOs and 2 ADSR envelopes.

A modulation matrix with 8 slots allow the animation of most of synthesis parameters.

A master stereo digital FX offering various modulated delays is also included.

Tooro is shipped with a printed version of the QuickStart Guide (in English) and a 1 meter black USB cable.

Technical aspects:

All Fred's Lab instruments are produced and manually assembled locally in Germany.

The Tooro is a polyphonic and multitimbral synthesizer module with 6 voices, 4 parts, per voice analog filters and a stereo signal path.
