description: A classic polyphonic analog synthesizer inspired by iconic '70s
designs, pairing two analog expander modules that carry 4 VCOs, 2 multi-mode
VCFs, 2 LFOs and 4 envelope generators between them. The two voices play
polyphonically, split or in 4-oscillator unison, and the main module can be
transferred into a standard Eurorack case.
details: |-
The original design consisted of two single-voice modules coupled together. With its 37-note keyboard, it was a considerable size but introduced a feature no other synth was capable of at the time: polyphony. The 2-XM combines all the features of the original with modern conveniences such as MIDI and USB implementation, stereo, and a large set of CV and gate ins and outs for transforming and shaping sounds.

The 2-XM comes with 4 VCOs, 4 envelope generators, 2 LFOs and 2 multi-mode VCFs across two synthesizer expander modules. The two voices can be combined for two-voice polyphony, split, or run with all 4 oscillators in unison for intricate layering and rich vintage analog tones.

Each VCO can be shaped through adjustable frequency, modulation and pulse width controls, and the oscillators can be synced for piercing lead sounds and more complex waveforms. A noise generator expands the available waveform palette further.

The VCFs add Frequency, Modulation and Resonance controls alongside a multi-mode filter knob: turned fully left it selects the low-pass filter, turned the other way the high-pass filter, and set at 12 o'clock the notch filter. A switch places the VCF in band-pass mode.

Four envelope generators with Attack, Decay and Sustain controls introduce subtle nuance or percussiveness, and a VCA switch toggles between envelope control and VCA, which overrides ENV 1. An external VCA control can be patched in. A 2-channel mixer section provides level and pan for each module, with a portamento function on both voices for pitch gliding effects.

Each module carries a large complement of CV and gate ins and outs plus modulation from internal and external sources, so the 2-XM patches into an existing setup, and the main module can be transferred into a standard Eurorack case for integration into an existing system.

description: A limited-edition semi-modular analog synthesizer with three VCOs
and a multi-mode VCF in an 8U rack-mount format, its pure analog signal path
based on the authentic ARP 2600 circuitry of the 1970s with matched
transistors and JFETs. Against the standard Behringer 2600 it adds a
mechanical spring reverb, hand-picked components and uni-color LEDs on every
fader, with 93 patchable ins and outs.
details: |-
Great care has been taken in engineering the BLUE MARVIN's true-to-the-original analog circuitry, semi-modular architecture and triple VCO design, all of which come together to recreate the classic tones evocative of classic electronic music. This highly-focused attention to detail gives the BLUE MARVIN its ultra-flexible sound-shaping capability, which then empowers you to recreate amazing tones, from super-fat bass and tasty leads all the way to full-on dreamy ambience from the far reaches of your imagination.

Just like the original, the BLUE MARVIN is a semi-modular synthesizer that allows you to start making music without having to plug patch cables into different modules. But don't let that stop you, the BLUE MARVIN also features 93 patchable ins and outs, so you can configure the synthesizer any way you want.

The BLUE MARVIN features 3 VCOs with FM inputs. You can even patch the VCOs' default waveforms to square, triangle, saw, sine or pulse which allows for an awe-inspiring palette of tonal possibilities. Any of the VCOs can also be switched to operate as a low frequency oscillator while the multi-mode VCF acts as the VCO mixer of the BLUE MARVIN where VCOs one, two and three can be blended. Combine that with its integrated resonance control, filter mode switch and the ability to output to other areas of the synth and the BLUE MARVIN becomes a fantastic and flexible tool for creating a diverse palette of tones.

To top off the already amazing array of waveforms and mixing capabilities of the BLUE MARVIN, an incredible range of modules and effects are at your disposal including a ring modulator, lag processor, sample and hold, Schmitt trigger, envelope follower, a noise generator with continuously variable color and even a mechanical spring reverb to add spaciousness and a sense of scale to your music. Two dedicated LFOs with pulse and sine wave outputs are included as well.

With the integrated ADSR and AR envelope generators of the BLUE MARVIN, you can create some truly dynamic progressions in your songs. If simple ADSR controls are not enough, flipping the Time Factor switch to x2, x1 or x0.5 gives you more control over the shape of the envelope, so you can have notes that are short and percussive or long and atmospheric. The VCA section offers further tone shaping alongside the VCF, with differential inputs for both linear and exponential response which accept control voltage signals via 3.5 mm jacks.
