Manther Desktop Analog Synthesizer + Sequencer

Malekko Heavy Industry Manther

Manther is a desktop monosynth boasting an entirely analog signal path, a digital sequencer, and integrated delay effect. The beast derives much of its charm from its CEM3340 based IC and SSM2044 chips, which comprise the VCO and filter respectively. There’s a source mixer that gives users optimal control over waveform, noise, and sub levels as well as individual outputs for each waveform.

The integrated 64-step sequencer enjoys automation across every primary feature. Users can program intricate movements and save all automation to any of the unit’s 64 preset locations. These presets can be selected and deployed in any order for easy song creation.

When it comes to ease of use, Manther is the king of the jungle. Its impressive menu system provides deep control over essential features like envelope manipulation, sequence division and direction, sub semitones, LFO phase, clock parameters, and delay features. And if all that wasn’t enough, Manther features inputs and outputs for CV, Clock, Gate, LFO, and MIDI—providing everything one would need to communicate with external modular synthesizers, especially those of the eurorack variety.
