Analogue Solutions Red Square (N.O.S.)

Red Square is a patchable analog monosynth that can also be used as an effects processor. It has the advantages of a modular synth (re-wireable synth circuits, external control, external signal routing) and the advantage of a pre-patched monosynth (easy to use, instant sound, tidy front panel). 1/4" jacks make it easy to interface with all your other gear!

MONOSYNTHESIZER

The top row of controls on Red Square act as a complete (pre-patched) monosynth. This section allows Red Square to be used straight away without having to patch any sections together. All that is needed is a MIDI cable and an audio cable. This means Red Square can be used immediately with no fuss or confusion as a powerful, flexible synthesizer-sound machine.

The top row synthesizer comprises VCO1, Noise, External Signal, Sub Oscillator, LPF, EG1 and the VCA. The Ring Mod output also goes to the filter audio input, but its inputs must be patched first.

The additional sections like EG2, VCO2, Ring Mod, etc, can be patched into the monosynth to create even more varied and complex sounds, or they can be used independently or in conjunction with other synths.


EFFECTS PROCESSOR

Don't just think of Red Square as just a patchable synthesizer. It is also a highly versatile analogue effects processor. Red Square has a panel full of professional quality 6.35mm jack sockets which allows it to be integrated into your studio set-up just like any effects processor. But instead of just another lifeless DSP processor, you have a warm, fat, or even down right dirty analogue effects processor.

The analog filter or ring modulator can be used as two independent effects processors or chained in series for dual effects. They can be wired into your mixing desk's effect sends and returns just like any other effects unit. The additional sections of Red Square can be patched in to modulate the effect on your external audio signals. All this and you can still create and use an independent synthesizer patch too!
