What TAL-Pha does
The instrument combines the classic analog character of its models with modern flexibility. Each of its digitally controlled oscillators can be detuned, modulated or synced, and the filter has a resonance boost that reaches self-oscillation. Individual tuning for every voice turns the DCO into a VCO, and a stereo unison mode stacks up to seven voices. An FX section offers delay, reverb and a bell EQ, and the arpeggiator provides several modes. Original factory banks are included, along with more than 380 presets by Electric Himalaya, Unfinished, Saif Sameer and emptyvessel.
Key features
