Revival of Classic Sound
If you’re looking for the warmth and depth of the analog era in the digital world, this plugin will become an indispensable tool in your virtual studio. It’s perfect for various musical styles and directions where a rich, lively synthesizer sound is needed.
Two Sections for Maximum Flexibility
The deputy Mark II combines the power of the polyphonic section (Poly) and the expressiveness of the monophonic section (Mono), offering unprecedented flexibility in sound and texture creation. This allows you to use the plugin both for creating rich background layers and for punchy solo parts.
Polyphonic Section (Poly)
The Poly section is the heart of The deputy Mark II, capable of reproducing up to 61 voices simultaneously! This opens up huge possibilities for creating lush pads, multi-layered string ensembles, and complex polyphonic textures that will sound voluminous and rich.
- Up to 61 voices of polyphony: Create rich soundscapes without limitations.
- Two oscillator banks based on frequency division: Reproduce the sound characteristics of classic instruments with all the nuances.
- Sawtooth and PWM waveforms: Classic foundations for a wide range of timbres, from bright to soft and pulsating.
- 2-pole multi-mode filter and ADS envelope per voice: Provide detailed timbre shaping for each individual voice, allowing you to achieve extraordinary expressiveness.
- Global ADSR envelope for paraphonic modulation: Add dynamics and expressiveness to polyphonic parts, controlling their development over time.
- Resonator bank (3 zero-delay filters): Give the sound unique resonant characteristics and overtones, creating the effect of a live instrument.
This section is ideal for creating rich, voluminous sounds that will become a solid foundation for your compositions.
Monophonic Section (Mono)
The Mono section is designed for lead parts, bass lines, or bold sound effects. It offers a classic synthesizer chain to create punchy and clear timbres that stand out against the mix.
- One VCO plus sub-oscillator and noise generator: A classic set for creating rich and powerful sounds with added weight and texture.
- 4-pole low-pass filter with zero delay: Provides deep and smooth timbre shaping with a characteristic “analog” character and sensitive resonant behavior.
- ADSR envelope and LFO: Detailed control over the dynamics and modulation of the sound, allowing you to create everything from short percussive sounds to long, floating lines.
- The ability to send the output of the Poly section to the Mono filter input: Add unique filtering capabilities to your polyphonic sounds, experiment with paraphonic effects, and create textures that come alive and change.
The Mono section of The deputy Mark II is your tool for creating bright and memorable melodic or bass lines.
Built-in Effects
The deputy Mark II is not limited to synthesis only. It also has built-in effects that will help “liven up” your sound and add space and movement to it without the need for additional plugins.
- Ensemble effect: A classic effect that imitates the playing of several instruments simultaneously, giving the sound the lushness and width characteristic of vintage string machines.
- Phaser effect: Add a phase shift to the sound to create moving, “cosmic” or psychedelic textures that add interest and depth.
These effects are perfectly integrated into the plugin’s architecture and are an integral part of its unique character.
Flexible Control Options
The deputy Mark II is designed with the needs of modern musicians and producers in mind, offering convenient and intuitive control, despite the depth of synthesis capabilities.
- Flexible keyboard assignment for Poly and Mono sections: Easily split the keyboard or assign different registers to control the corresponding sections, making The deputy Mark II an ideal tool for live playing or studio work on complex arrangements.
