![]() ![]() An excellent delay which can be controlled in realtime, adding an even more 70s-ish character to the sound. This synth has some rare features for an analog machine : However, it’s also very usable for bass sounds as it goes low in terms of frequencies, but you’ll only get mellow bass sounds hence not adapted to all kinds of music.Īctually, the sound irresistibly evokes tracks from the 70s or even late 60s. I consider that it excels in lead, brass et fx sounds. You’ll have to leave the oscillators enough time to warm up (10 minutes at least) so as to really stabilise them, but this is also part of the general vintage ambiance. The sound is fat, thick, warm, mellow and creamy ! ![]() You’ll have to complete it with a more aggressive sounding – more “moog-esque” – synth.īUT, unlike the huge majority of new analog synths, its sound is very organic and drifts as you could wish (it really sounds vintagy), a bit like the great MFB- Dominion 1 but still with less punch and capacities – but the Erebus also only costs one third of a Dominion. It’s a rather basic memoryless synth, but the modulation matrix, although limited in features, adds many a possibility (including some which almost can’t be dispensed with, such as LFO control using the thumb wheel).Įnvelopes are somehow weak: stinging basses aren’t its playground. Granted, its look is quite peculiar but I really like it, plus it seems sturdy. Erebus will be 479€ and Hades 349€.The Dreadbox Erebus is a very interesting synth hailing from… Greece! It’s a monophonic/paraphonic, 2-voice and semi modular model. The build version will be available in December. ![]() Erebus costs 320€ and Hades 220€ excluding VAT. Maybe I need new synths, haha.ĭreadbox Erebus and Hades are available now in limited quantities. Very happy to see that both synths are back with improved feature sets. I test the first version of Hades many years ago and loved it for its simplicity and the fat, rich sound. Hades is particularly suitable for anyone looking for a Synthesizer that shines with analog bass sounds. ![]() Like Erebus, you can also use Hades as a 42HP Eurorack synth voice or alternatively standalone with the included case with USB power. There is also a patch matrix with 11 patch points allowing you to export the Hades sound in the modular realm. It features a single oscillator with two sub-octaves and 2 waveforms with PW control.įurther, you get a 3-pole resonating lowpass filter, two envelopes (AD/RS + AR), a wide range LFO, and OTA-based VCA and distortion. The second new reissue is Hades, a smaller analog bass synth with a rich, dark sound reminiscent of Roland synths. It ships with a compact case that includes a USB power supply. Yes, the Erebus is also fully Eurorack compatible and can be mounted as a 42HP synth voice in a Eurorack case. Also onboard is a patch matrix with 15 patch points allowing you to work semi-modular. Unlike the original, the new Erebus now has updated envelopes that are snappier. Then, it has a rich-sounding 2-pole lowpass pre-fed filter, two envelopes (ADSR, AR), a wide range LFO, an OTA-based VCA, and the best-known lo-fi delay effect. Unfortunately, they are limited to 200 Erebus and 100 Hades kits.Įrebus is a new analog paraphonic Synthesizer with two oscillators, each with two waveforms, separate glide controls, and hard sync function. The built versions will come at the end of December.Įach DIY kit consists of three pre-soldered PCB board, an aluminum, panel, mechanical parts, 42HP metal enclosure, a ribbon cable, and a DIN5 to 3,5mm MIDI adapter.Īccording to Dreadbox, these are not difficult kits and don’t require any soldering. The DIY kit versions are now available in limited numbers. Especially nice, these are based on the original designs of the first generation with slight changes. Dreadbox has today released the DIY kits of the Erebus and Hades monophonic analog synthesizers, initially announced at Superbooth 22īack at Superbooth 22, Dreadbox surprisingly announced the comeback of their popular monophonic analog synthesizers Erebus and Hades. ![]()
