LittleOne

Overview

LittleOne is a highly accurate software emulation of a legendary hardware analog synthesizer, known for its compact design and remarkable sonic capabilities. This synthesizer faithfully reproduces the original signal path, ensuring that every component, including oscillators, filters, and envelopes, mirrors the architecture and sound characteristics of its analog predecessor, resulting in a rich and warm audio experience.

At the core of LittleOne's design is the Advanced Component Simulation (ACS) technology, which allows for the precise recreation of the original synthesizer's electrical behavior. This technology captures the inherent micro-imperfections and dynamic instabilities of analog circuitry, ensuring that every note played is distinct and unique. Users have the flexibility to adjust the stability of the components, offering a choice between modern reliability and vintage unpredictability.

In addition to its authentic analog sound, LittleOne is equipped with a full suite of modern features, including a 16-step analog sequencer, a trancegate effect, and multiple effects processing slots, making it an all-in-one solution for musicians and producers.

Features

• Accurate Physical Modeling: Utilizes Advanced Component Simulation (ACS) to replicate the original analog hardware’s oscillators, filters, and envelopes, including their natural imperfections.
• 64-Bit Processing: Offers full 64-bit processing accuracy for each aspect of the simulation, ensuring high-quality audio output.
• Dual Oscillators: Features two aliasing-free, analog-modeled oscillators that simulate the charging and discharging responses of original analog circuits, with waveform morphing options.
• Resonant Filter: Includes a legendary 4-pole resonant low-pass ladder filter, accurately modeling original non-linearities and providing rich sound modulation capabilities.
• Envelope Generators: Two 4-stage (ADSR) envelope generators replicate the behaviors of original analog components, adding depth to sound shaping.
• Advanced Modulation: Supports a variety of modulation sources and destinations, including a white noise generator and a multi-waveform LFO with a broad frequency range.
• True Polyphony: Offers true analog polyphony, with 4 independent synthesis systems that can be tuned and detuned separately for complex sound layering.
• Customizable Components: Users can select from ultra-stable modern components or aged, unstable ones to shape the sonic characteristics of LittleOne.

Included Units

• XSQ16A Sequencer: A monophonic 16-step analog sequencer for creating intricate melodic patterns.
• GAT3D Trancegate: A 16-step trancegate effect that allows for rhythmic gating and dynamic modulation.
• Effects Processing: Two insert/master effects slots with a selection of processors:
  • X-TREME: A modeled tube distortion effect that adds warmth and grit.
  • FLANG-R: An expressive stereo flanger for dynamic modulation effects.
  • CHOR-S: A rich stereo chorus effect for enhanced spatial qualities.
  • D-LAY: A tempo-synced stereo delay effect that adds depth and texture.
  • REEVERB: A resonator-based electronic reverb effect for creating ambient spaces.

Preset Library

LittleOne comes with a vast collection of over 400 ready-to-use factory presets that span a multitude of styles, including vintage leads, basses, and contemporary electronic sounds. The original factory patches from the Little Phatty synthesizer are also included, ensuring a diverse sonic palette. Additional presets and expansions are available for those seeking to broaden their sound design options.

Conclusion

LittleOne synthesizer represents a powerful fusion of vintage analog warmth and modern digital convenience. With its extensive features and customizable options, it stands out as an essential tool for musicians and sound designers, ready to deliver a wide array of sonic possibilities.
