Welcome to the world of the Vagabond King, a synthesizer from T Rochebois designed for deep sound exploration. Forget about brilliant visual effects – this instrument focuses exclusively on audio, giving you a powerful and flexible sound arsenal.
Vagabond King is based on a classic oscillator and filter architecture, but with advanced modulation and stereo processing capabilities.
The heart of the sound: Oscillators
The synthesizer offers up to 8 multi-mode oscillators per voice, allowing you to create a variety of timbres.
The key feature is unison (1, 2, 4, or 8 oscillators) for a dense and wide stereo sound without external effects. The tone is controlled by the first ADSR envelope, making the sound lively.
Shaping the Tone: Filters and Drive
Vagabond King features two stereo multi-mode filters with their own ADSRs for dynamic cutoff and resonance control.
Two drive stages after the filters add soft saturation, giving the sound warmth and punch.
Modulation and Motion
The modulation system includes three ADSR envelopes and a multi-phase LFO with flexible settings.
The Pitch Envelope can add subtle “inaccuracies” to your sound, making it more natural and unique.
