The Mysterious Quasimidi Sirius Synthesizer (Presets, drums, songs) (1997)

The Holy Grail of groove synthesizers and the Crown Jewel of the Electraglide band. They only made a few of them, then stopped, I guess because the circuit boards where designed and made in a place from beyond and not of human hands. I dunno, that just sounded really cool to say. :D The Sirius is a keyboard “groove-synth,“ featuring a subtractive hybrid-tone-generation synthesizer referred to as DTE ('Difficult To Explain') synthesis introduced in 1997 by Quasimidi. The unit featured both real-time and step sequencers with pattern- and song-modes, capable of acting basic drum machine, groove-box, or sound-module. The unit is thus 7x multitimbral and has 28-voice polyphony across its 7 tracks, with track selecting a (track-specific) sound within 96 sounds (per bank) of preset- or user-writeable sounds. #Quasimidi
