Bella: Digital/Analog Hybrid Mono Synth

Bella is a monophonic synthesizer with an all-analog signal path, paired with a lo-fi digital drum synthesizer. These two sections are controlled by an on-board sequencer/arpeggiator, featuring generative drum pattern sequencing.  It is based on the Mutable Instruments Anushri designed by Émilie Gillet. Bella’s audio generation and processing chain is analog. The main sound source is a VCO with sawtooth and pulse-width waveforms, coupled with a sub-oscillator. Following the VCO comes a multimode 12dB/octave VCF featuring low-pass, band-pass and high-pass modes.  A switchable fuzz circuit is inserted between the VCF and VCA for a heavy dose of distortion.  Digital additions:VCO is paired with an auxiliary digital oscillator, which can be used as a FM source, a sync signal generator, or an additional detuned audio source for fattening the VCO sound.  Built-in sequencer and arpeggiator A built-in arpeggiator easily transforms chords into complex basslines and acid patterns with accent
