The Octopus is a Dual-Matrix synthesizer containing one Matrix for
Oscillator/Filter frequency modulation synthesis and another Matrix
for general modulation. The key component for building a sound is the
instrument's 8 oscillators, 2 filters and up to 32 envelopes. These
components are all it needs to create anything from classic "old
school" FM timbres to complex sounds far beyond those possible with
conventional FM synthesis.

The Octopus' 2 Filters permit using the filters as modulation
sources; thus they can be used to modulate an oscillator - the sonic
possibilities are tremendous.

Specification
- Flexible, Matrix-based Frequency Modulation synthesis
- Oscillator Matrix with 10 modulation sources and 8 modulation destinations
- 550 presets sounds in a wide range of styles made by Nico Herz, Summa, Tim Conrardy and others
- full cross-modulation, adjustable feedback for every oscillator
- 8 additive oscillators using sample-based or user defined waveforms
- Two independent multimode filters, available as FM sources
- Up to 32 envelopes with multiple, syncable segments, freerun, loop and adjustable slopes
- Graphical envelope editor with sophisticated editing functions
- Envelopes can be used to modulate a wide range of parameters including amplitude, mix, panning, pitch, frequency, phase, cutoff and resonance of filters
- Stereo effects section with 4 effects (Parametric EQ, Chorus, Delay and Reverb)
- Two step sequencers each with up to 32 steps each
- 24 voice polyphonic
