Aurion A1

Aurion A1 – Analog Synthesis. Digital Precision. Absolute Expressiveness.

Designed to surpass the traditional limits of analog synthesis, the Aurion A1 is the result of years of advanced engineering research and sonic experimentation. Hand-built in a very limited series, it fuses the authenticity of analog sound with ultra-high-resolution digital control, offering an entirely new sonic platform for composers, sound designers, and performers.

Main Features

Advanced Hybrid Architecture

• 3 fully analog VCOs with discrete circuitry, automatic calibration, and selectable cross-sync/AM/FM modulation.
• Analog state-variable wave morphing, inspired by Buchla and Oberheim models, for seamless transitions between complex waveform shapes.
• Dual independent sub-oscillator for each VCO, delivering deep and dynamic bass.

Dual Layer VCF Filter Section

• 24dB Moog-style Ladder Filter paired with a multimode State Variable Filter, featuring dynamic routing and real-time serial/parallel modulation.
• Selectable pre- and post-filter analog distortion to shape distinctive timbral characters.

LFO and Modulation Matrix

• 4 high-resolution LFOs, synchronizable to the internal clock or MIDI, with customizable waveforms and phase modulation.
• 12-slot Modulation Matrix, fully configurable via dedicated encoders or a multi-parameter OLED touch display.

Envelopes and Dynamics

• 4 ultra-fast analog ADSR envelopes, calibrated for expressive response and real-time modulation, inspired by the “snap” response of vintage synths.
• Advanced velocity mapping and polyphonic aftertouch on a premium semi-weighted keyboard (custom Fatar TP/9S), featuring adaptive dynamic curve tracking.

Integrated Effects Section

• 96kHz/32-bit DSP effects: environmental reverb modeled on Lexicon-style algorithms, simulated analog BBD delay, chorus, phaser, and granular shaper.
• Selectable analog/digital effects routing, ensuring the integrity of the signal path.

Display and Interface

• 3.2” OLED screen with real-time display of waveforms, modulations, and envelope statuses.
• “Endless encoder” knob interface with LED rings for instant feedback, built to withstand years of studio and stage use.

Connectivity

• MIDI DIN + MIDI USB + CV/Gate (4x in/out) for maximum compatibility with modular systems and DAWs.
• Balanced TRS audio outputs + dedicated headphone output with discrete low-impedance amplification.
