Sequential releases Fourm - 4-Voice Hybrid Synth

Sequential has released the Fourm 4-Voice synthesizer The Fourm draws its sonic character from two of Sequential's most revered instruments: the legendary Prophet-5 and the classic Pro-One mono synth. It's built with a focus on a hands-on, knob-per-function workflow that harks back to the golden age of analog synthesis. The synth features a 100% analog signal path, from its two oscillators (with selectable sawtooth, pulse, and triangle waveforms on OSC B) to the classic Prophet-style 4-pole resonant low-pass filter with bass compensation. An analog VCA completes the voice architecture, providing the warmth and punch that is the signature of the Sequential sound. A standout feature of the Sequential Fourm is its newly developed 'Tactive' slim-key keybed, which includes polyphonic aftertouch. This expressive control allows for nuanced performance gestures, enabling musicians to modulate multiple notes independently after they are pressed, unlocking a new level of creative expression. The synth also features a Pro-One-inspired modulation matrix on the top panel, putting deep sound design at the user's fingertips without the need for menu diving. Users can easily route modulation sources like the filter envelope, OSC B, and LFO to various destinations with the push of a button and color-coded indicators for quick visual feedback. The Fourm includes a multimode arpeggiator with a step sequencer mode, a feedback circuit for adding a gritty, driven sound, and a unison mode for stacking up to four voices for a thicker, more powerful sound. With 128 world-class presets and a robust, all-steel chassis, the Sequential Fourm is positioned as an accessible yet high-quality analog synthesizer for a new generation of musicians.
