MD900 is a polyphonic desktop synthesizer, multitimbral with 4 parts. A polyphony of up to 16 voices are shared by the 4 multi-timbral parts. All of these 4 parts have their own effect stack [Mod-Delay (flanger, chorus, vibrato), Reverb, Tube-AMP, EQ, LP-Filter, DYNAMIC (Limiter) , Stereo Delay ...].
The overall audio path is stereo. Rationally, the oscillator, mixer filter, amps and effects are all in stereo.
Four independent arpeggiator und step sequenzer assigned to each of the four synth parts. The trigger sequencer may trigger the built in transient sample player (Drum Kit .wav) or send triggers to MIDI-Out (USB-DIN or USB-MIDI)
The housing is made of aluminum with real walnut wood on the front and back.
All components are industrial grade. On the operator panel we use precision potentiometer with aluminum covered knobs.
For some parameter entries we use endless encoder without rest.
This kind of encoders feels like a potentiometer.
All of this feels very valuable and it feels great to work with.
The MD900 XVA engine is patch compatible with the M800-R2 synthesizer.

Operation Panel:
The operation panel gives you real time control to the major voice parameters with a dedicated knob. All parameters are accessible via
touch-display and the endless rotary encoders. The part (timbre) has to be selected to alter the parameter on the dependent timbre.
The module specific info display gives the necessary detailed feedback on the parameter changes.
Configuration example:
With the build in midi device manager you are able to map those USB midi devices to a certain port (4 ports for MIDI Note & CC Events). In the midi settings you may choose that port for which Midi Note-Event or CC should be processed.
With the "midi learn" you may assign the most sound forming parameter to a certain midi device, channel and control.
The internal control bus allows the expansion for additional control modules.
