Golana

• Golana plays one analog-style synth with two oscillators, a sub, noise and five filters including MS20, a driven low-pass whose resonance screams.
• A 16-step sequencer with ties, accents and slides saves with the program, and PLAY starts and stops it.
• The arpeggiator offers ten types over one to four octaves with latch, swing, gate and steps switched on or off.
• SCALE LOCK keeps every key in one of sixteen scales, and CHORD plays a whole chord from a single key.
• Four voices run poly, mono, legato or unison with eight detuned oscillators spread across the stereo field.
• Four patch routes send the envelopes, LFOs, velocity, keyboard, aftertouch or the mod wheel to pitch, cutoff, amp and more.
• MOD FX gives chorus, flanger, ensemble, phaser and METAL distortion into delay and reverb, in three orders.
• SAVE writes any of the 32 programs with its own name, and the clock follows internal, USB or TRS.

Its modes

PERFORM

Play with cutoff, resonance, EG int and LFO 1 rate under the four knobs while the screen draws the sound.

OSC 1

Pick the wave and shape it with CTRL 1 and CTRL 2, with LFO 1 moving CTRL 1.

OSC 2

Set the second wave, ring or sync modulation, semitone and fine tune.

MIXER

Balance OSC 1, OSC 2 and noise, and fold the mix before the filter.

SUB/DRIFT

Add a sub oscillator one or two octaves down and set how far each note drifts out of tune.

FILTER

Choose the filter type and set cutoff, resonance, EG int and key track.

SCALE

Lock the keys and incoming notes to a key and one of sixteen scales.

CHORD

Turn one key into a triad, seventh or power chord and choose its voicing.

PATTERN

Write notes, rests and ties into the sixteen steps with accents and slides.

ARP

Switch the arpeggiator on, pick its type, range, latch and which steps sound.
