Like a greatest hits of recent Analogue Solutions synths, the Ample combines sound elements from the Fusebox with jack patch points, a patch pin matrix, plus sequencer and CV touch pads from the Generator, creating something new and unique.

Supplier's Notes:
Ample combines the best elements of several of Analogue Solutions' recent products.

The sound elements of Fusebox
Jack patch points of Concussor Eurorack
Patch pin matrix of Vostok
Echo from Dr Strangelove
Sequencer and CV touch pads of Generator

It shares all this yet still has its own sound!

Ample can be as complex or as simple as you want it to be

This synth has been given a large and diverse number of controls, that along side the patch sockets, will give even the best and experienced synthesist endless possibilities.

This synth presents the controls in a user friendly and familiar synth layout that, together with this manual and other resources, enable even the new guy to get great sounds.

Synth - Percussion - Audio Processor

Ample is a compact analogue synthesizer. Analogue - as in really analogue. Aside from the MIDI chip (which has to be digital), everything else is totally analogue using real transistors and op-amps. There are no CPU stabilised and quantised circuits, no DCOs, no digital LFOs and no digital EGs, as found on other so called analogue synths. The circuitry is based on designs dating back to the mid-1970s. So Ample has a genuine old sound.

Circuits included

3x Analogue Oscillators

There are three analogue VCOs - each providing a wealth of features and modulation choices. VCO3 can easily be utilised as a LFO.

2x Analogue Low Frequency Oscillator

LFO2(/Sync) has a triangle wave output. VCO3 can be used as an LFO and has Saw, Triangle and Square wave modulation signals.

Analogue Filter

Ample uses a four pole 24bB per octave low pass filter.

Analogue Amplifier

The VCA can be set to THRU so it is always 'open'. This allows Ample to be used as an effects processor.

2x Analogue Envelopes

There are two EGs - each having full control over ATTACK, DECAY, SUSTAIN, and RELEASE.

Modulation

Great thought has been placed into modulation route choices, allowing a wide range of sounds to be produced, including percussion and 'modular' sounds further extended by patching with the jack sockets and pin matrix.

MIDI

MIDI is intentionally kept simple - so you can concentrate on making new sounds and making music - not getting tied up with SYSEX programming.

You get the all important control over filter cut-off using MIDI Velocity.

Patchable External CV Control Sockets

Ample has many input and output audio and CV sockets - to allow the synth to be effectively re-wired to make new sounds.

The sockets also enable it to be easily used with Eurorack and other modular systems. They can be patched together.

Sequencer

Ample has a vintage style 16 step sequencer.

Touch Keys

There are 6 touch keys that each output a set voltage. Use this to play the pitch or as modulation signals. A great tool for inspiration!

Pin Matrix

A neat way to patch the synth.

Echo

Nice lo-fi echo / delay.

An evolution of the monophonic Typhon synth concept, the Artemis applies similar interface design to a six-voice analogue synth module with Sinevibes digital effects. Lots of power and typically classy Dreadbox sound.

Supplier's Notes:
Artemis is a unique analogue polysynth with a UI inspired by Dreadbox's award-winning Typhon synthesizer. It builds on Typhon's innovative concepts, adding six voices of polyphony, powerful modulation capabilities, stereo FX, voice spreading, and much more!

From classic polysynth tones to aggressive modern sounds and everything in between, Artemis has a wealth of raw synthesis and modulation capabilities to explore.

At its core, Artemis features a fully analogue architecture, based on the smart oscillator implementation found in both the Typhon and the Murmux Adept, allowing effortless transitions between multiple waveforms, mix settings, glide, FM, and more.

These VCOs are paired with Dreadbox's signature filter topology, offering classic 12dB or 24dB per octave low-pass modes, as well as a standalone resonant high-pass filter. The low-pass filter includes dedicated filter frequency FM control for dialling in edgier, modern tones.

Two multi-mode LFOs enhance the modulation possibilities: LFO 1 offers a unique fade-in parameter, while LFO 2 includes XMOD (cross-modulation) control for chaotic, brash textures. Each LFO has multiple waveforms and can modulate pitch, filter cutoff, VCO waveform, pulse width, and more.

This analogue powerhouse is complemented by a suite of world-class FX from Sinevibes, who previously collaborated with Dreadbox on Typhon's FX. With reverb, delay, modulation effects, master distortion, and more, Artemis delivers an extra dimension to your sounds.

TOUCH SENSITIVE CONTROLLER settings

Behaviour:
- single: 12 key mode
- twin*: 2x6 key mode, the parameters are the same for both sides
- split*: 2x6 key mode, but with separate parameters for both sides (e. g.: you can have an arpeggiator on one side, but a basic keyboard controller on the other side)
* in twin and split modes the pressure output acts as the note CV output, therefore pressure parameters (output, rise and fall) have no effect

Arpeggiator state:
- off: the module acts as a keyboard controller
- on: enables arpeggiator

Arpeggiator hold:
- off: the arpeggiator will play only while the keys are held
- on: the arpeggiator will continue to play the last progression after the keys are released

Arpeggiator clock:
- sets the clock multiplication/division ratio for the arpeggiator

Arpeggiator direction:
- forward
- backward
- ping-pong
- random

Arpeggiator variation: when enabled the arpeggiated progression will be played again transposed by the selected interval.
- OFF
- x1
- x2
- x3
Arpeggiator variation interval: 1 - 12 semitones

Arpeggiator rhythm: an eight step trigger sequencer placed between the arpeggiators virtual clock input and clock source, applies a rhythmic pattern to the arpeggio. - turn steps on/off

Arpeggiator rhythm length: sets the length of the rhythm sequencer. 1 - 8 steps

Portamento: creates slew limiting effect on the CV output, sets the speed of gliding (ie: how much time it takes to transition from one pitch to the next). 0 - 255

Legato:
- off: portamento is always on
- on: gliding happens only when two or more note plates are touched simultaneously (this parameter has no effect when arpeggiator is enabled)

Vibrato speed: sets the speed of the LFO that's modulating the note CV output. 0 - 127

Vibrato depth: sets the modulation amount. 0 - 127

Vibrato delay: specifies a time delay before vibrato begins to apply until it reaches the full strength specified by the depth parameter. 0 - 127

Vibrato pressure control: when enabled, the modulation amount is altered by the pressure applied to keys.
- off
- on

Pressure output:
- pressure: voltage on the pressure output will continuously follow the pressure applied to key plates
- ASR: attack/sustain/release envelope generator
- AD: attack/decay envelope generator
- LOOP: looped AD envelope generator
- random: outputs a random voltage

Rise: creates slew limiting effect on rising edge in pressure and random modes, sets attack time in envelope modes. 0 - 255

Fall: creates slew limiting effect on falling edge in pressure and random modes, sets decay/release time in envelope modes. 0 - 255

Scale editor: turn notes on/off of the scale applied by the note quantiser, when all notes are disabled the module works as a microtonal keyboard.

Load scale: select and load a preset scale/mode.

A true MIDI powerhouse, based around a 128-pad matrix and 16-track MIDI sequencer with slick programming workflow and Ableton-style pattern mode for live performance.

*** Version 2.0 updates - January 2024 ***

In this version, Squarp have put a lot of effort into improving the ergonomics and screen designs.

As for features, the focus has been on expanding patterns from 8 to 16 per track. Follow-actions have been introduced to bring more life to your sections, adding logic and randomness to the construction of your tracks.

A new MixMute mode has been created to enhance live performances, improve transitions between projects and arm your tracks for multitrack recording.

Now you can engage in multi-track recording and capture on multiple tracks simultaneously.

Two new effects are making their debut as well: FX ECHO, the best delay Squarp have made so far, and FX OUTPUT, allowing rerouting to a different output in the middle of the effect chain.

You can now Import/ExportMIDI files, either to save and reuse your own patterns in different projects or to load complex MIDI files from a computer.

The Curve algorithm is now accessible in automation mode, Squarp have added a track compensation mechanism and Auto-load.

Supplier's Notes:
Professional standalone sequencer

Genuine centerpiece of a setup, it offers every tool needed to compose songs in the studio and perform them on stage. From vintage to modern synths, from modular systems to your favourite DAW, Hapax can sequence and synchronize all your gear, while bringing you carefully crafted tools, designed for maximizing creativity.

The midi powerhouse.

Up to a million notes and events

16 tracks per project, 8 patterns per track.

Thanks to its dual-processor architecture, Hapax can record and transform tremendous amounts of data in no time, without a hitch.

Express yourself.

MPE compatibility

Hapax is the first hardware sequencer that fully supports MIDI Polyphonic Expression. Record the finest gestures, slides and articulations of your playing, without compromising quality.

Around the clock performance.
Dual-project architecture



Hapax can handle two separate and independent projects, that can be played simultaneously. This lets you compose or load an entire project while the first one is already playing, enabling endless sets and seamless transitions.

Dawless is more.

Hapax offers broad connectivity options for perfect integration in any setup.

Adaptive workflow.
Several ways to write music
Writing a melody: use a polyphonic or MPE track and take advantage of the advanced step sequencer to quickly lay down notes or edit your live recording.

Composing a beat: control up to 8 different instruments with a single track. The drum sequencer is tailored for very easy rhythm writing and jamming.

Real-time midi effects.

Bring your synths to life

Hapax embeds multiple real-time, polyphonic, non-destructive midi effects, as well as project-wide assignable LFOs. Each parameter of these effects can be automated in the dedicated mode, and processed in the mod matrix, which provides even more ways of routing and modulating.

Powerful composition tools.

Algorithms

Powerful tools for offline note transformation and generation, right at your fingertips. Harmonically invert your motive, generate a controlled-random counter-melody, slowly ramp up the velocities, emphasize every fifth 8th note...

Hi-res recording

Hit the red button, and record from the encoders and 128 pads of Hapax, external midi instruments (included MPE controllers) or any incoming analogue signal, at a high resolution of 192 ppqn. Looper style recording, count-down and metronome options, punch-in mode, you'll certainly find the options that best suit your workflow.

Time elasticity

Each track has an elasticity value which changes its playback speed, expressed in percentage of BPM. Quickly double or halve the speed of a track, or create slightly shifted tracks that will slowly drift out of phase with each other.

Fluid editing

Using hardware should never get in the way of creative flow. The undo/redo button lets you go back in time as needed, thanks to its extensive history. Additionally, the snapshot function enables you to save the state of a pattern and recall it with a single press. Together with dedicated copy, paste and delete buttons, Hapax offers a complete toolbox for the prompt editing of your tracks.

Harmony, simplified

For fast and intuitive chord building, the chord live mode brings harmonic capabilities to anyone, with or without deep theoretical knowledge. With its colourful interface, the chord mode displays a synesthetic melding of hearing, vision and touch.

Simple by design.

Trimmed to perfection

Squarp designed Hapax from the ground up, deconstructing everything you thought you knew about sequencing- aiming for a high-end product, with dual arm processors for computation power and a rugged yet minimalist housing.

As music-making should remain an enjoyable process, dedicated buttons were over key combinations and imagined a clear-cut interface as well as a simple architecture. Squarp have striven to minimize the importance of screens for live performing, but the dual grayscale display helps keeping track of things in a studio context.

There are thoughts, ideas and fragments that - for the sake of humanity - we need to record and be able to return to as a reference, as a seed for new thoughts or just to remember another time. TP-7 is built for just that, to record sound, music, interviews and important ideas with zero friction in the highest possible quality. A device engineered in every detail to do only one thing and to do it well. A dedicated piece of hardware for ideas, or just a dirty riff.

The ultra-portable audio recorder. Record and listen back using the internal mic and speaker, or use any number of the 3x two-way jacks for external mics, headsets or other signal sources. Multiple connectivity options include USB-C, MFi and Bluetooth. Instant voice-to-text transcription available via the IOS app. Included in the box: 6.35 mm jack adapter, textile USB-C cable, user guide and reusable plastic storage box.

Intuitive muscle reflex control.

TP-7 fits perfectly in the palm of your hand and lets your fingers naturally adopt the controls. The index finger triggers fast forward and the middle finger rewinds. Your thumb records a memo, the pinky selects the mode. It's a genuinely rewarding experience.

Tape reel sensation.

The centre piece of the TP-7 is the motorized tape reel. A delicately engineered brushed motor with ball bearings, and a highly sensitive hall sensor that lets you virtually grab your recording. the reel is also used for scrubbing, to pause, menu navigation and as gentle visual feedback during playback and recording.

The rocker.

The side-mounted rocker allows you to quickly scrub through your audio.
just press on the top edge to fast forward, and down to rewind. watch the wheel spin around and hear your tracks scrub in 'hyperspeed'.

Transcription hell turned into transcription heaven.

We've all experienced the process of transcribing recorded speech to text by hand. A key feature of the TP-7 is its ability to streamline the process of turning audio into text. simply connect your phone to TP-7 via BLE or USB, open the TP-7 app and press transcribe. Job done!

(* Additional languages, text-to-audio edit and other useful features will be added over time.)

Off the record.

Picture yourself in an interview situation. The reel on the TP-7 is spinning slowly, the bright red record lamp is lit. Both the reel and the lamp indicates that a recording is taking place. The interview is going quite well. The situation gets heated, you're suddenly asked some personal questions. In that moment, you gently place a finger on the reel and pause the recording, allowing you to continue the interview 'off the record'.

The importance of zero friction.
(or how to remove steps from thought to action.)

Let's compare TP-7 to the most common recorder today - the smartphone:
Once you've turned on and unlocked your phone, found the recording app and started recording, you've probably forgotten whatever you had in mind. When recording on TP-7: press the memo button and start talking.

Inputs, outputs and 20 years of ideas.

TP-7 features three stereo two-way jacks to be used as either inputs or outputs, for connecting external mics, headphones, studio monitors, or any other audio equipment like OP-1 field or TX-6, recording with all 6 stereo channels. Use USB-C for multi-channel audio interface, MIDI, data transfer and charging, and BLE and MFi for wireless connectivity. TP-7 also includes a 6.35 mm to 3.5 mm jack adapter. Add to that 128 GB of internal storage and you can preserve 5 minutes of ideas a day for 20 years..

Applications.

Interview

Let you, and your subject, focus on the job at hand. When conducting interviews, TP-7's discreet size and dedicated function makes for an unobtrusive recording device.

Podcast

Whether you're in the studio or out in the field, TP-7's high quality audio is perfect for podcast recording. Connect up to 3 external mics, or use the internal mic in a pinch. Keep an eye on your levels with the VU meter and headphones.

Voice memos

Think out loud, tape does the rest. Let TP-7 capture your thoughts, then convert them into accurate text using the TP-7 app. For professionals, and avid thinkers and writers.

Field recording

Inspiration can strike when you least expect it. With an internal mic, 3x inputs, and a 7 hr rechargeable battery, you can use tape to record samples and demos on the go. Never lose an idea again.

Live performance

Use TP-7 in a live performance or recording scenario. Track all the instruments in your studio, or record your live set when performing. You can even use TP-7 as turntables and TX-6 to mix.

The field system.

TP-7 is part of Teenage Engineering's ultra-portable sound recording and performance system. All battery-powered, rechargeable via USB-C and with full interconnectivity (MIDI and high resolution audio). Compatible with iOS, macOS, and windows it's the most powerful, highest quality, portable system in the world 'as we know it'.
