Majella Audio Implexus

The IMPLEXUS is a hardware desktop synthesizer combining west – and east-coast synthesis techniques into a single formfactor. The IMPLEXUS uses analog waveshaping, folding and audio rate modulation to create a immense range of sounds and textures!

The IMPLEXUS is a performance-oriented musical instrument which will inspire you to compose music and explore its unique soundscape. The IMPLEXUS has a carefully designed analogue signal path with many unique ways to create intriguing sounds. The many sound shaping methods and modulation possibilities help you to create west-coast style harmonically rich sounds as well as thick east-coast analog  sounds.

The IMPLEXUS has a powerful “one-knob-per-function” interface with graphical feedback, utilizing LED rings to indicate modulators. The drone mode, tap tempo and looping envelopes let you explore the IMPLEXUS as a standalone sound generator. The MIDI and Eurorack compatibility and clock synchronisation options make sure it can be played in every setting. The IMPLEXUS is built to last. It has metal shaft potentiometers, an aluminium casing with scratch and solvent resistant graphics and an internal power supply (no adapter!). The IMPLEXUS is a characteristic, unique and complete musical instrument.

Unique filter design

The IMPLEXUS offers a 12dB/oct VCF with a unique analog topology. This filter offers a lowpass and highpass mode. For cutoff modulation there is an envelope amount control with polarizer and a CV input on the back of the IMPLEXUS. There is an input mixer that has amplitude control  over three inputs: complex generator, basic generator and the sub-oscillator.

Syncable delay

The IMPLEXUS has a stereo digital delay with dry/wet, delay-time and feedback control. There is a subtle modulation difference between  the left and right channels to create a wide stereo image. The delay can be synchronized to MIDI and external (modular) clock sources. Also the delay can be synchronized to Tap Tempo. For clock synchronization there are five divisions: 1/1; 3/4; 1/2; 1/3; 1/4.

Global pitch controls

The IMPLEXUS has a global pitch control section offering control over glide rate and pitch envelope amount. There is a dedicated vibrato LFO with manual control over amount and frequency.

Syncable LFO’s

The IMPLEXUS has two LFO’s with a variety of waveforms and multiple modulation destinations. The LFO’s offer a wide  range of 0.01 – 100Hz and can be BPM synced to MIDI and external clock. The LFO’s can also be synchronized to Tap Tempo and can even be set in five different divisions.

Connections

The IMPLEXUS offers a 1/4″ stereo balanced output.  In addition to that there is a stereo headphone output with dedicated volume control. There is standard MIDI input and thru over DIN and USB. Also there is a eurorack compatible patchbay on the back. This extends the sound and modulation possibilities of the IMPLEXUS even more!

Built in VCO tuner

There is a strobe tuner with 3 LED’s on board, which lets you tune both the Complex and the Basic generator to a perfect “A” within just a couple of seconds.

Blip Overview

The Majella Audio Implexus is a boutique desktop analogue synthesizer that elegantly bridges the gap between classic East Coast subtractive synthesis and experimental West Coast waveshaping philosophy—earning its reputation as the ultimate "No-Coast" instrument.

At the core of the Implexus is a dual-oscillator architecture consisting of a Complex Generator and a Basic Generator. The Complex Generator utilizes wavefolding, bias, and audio-rate frequency modulation (FM) to morph simple shapes into harmonically dense, acoustic-like, or wildly industrial textures. This raw power is balanced by a sweet-sounding, switchable analogue multi-mode filter (low-pass/high-pass) that lets you sculpt your patches with familiar East Coast precision.

Housed in a rock-solid desktop enclosure with professional-grade pots, the Implexus is a highly tactile, semi-modular ecosystem. With its patchable CV inputs and outputs, dual wide-range digital LFOs, analog ADSR envelopes, and an integrated stereo delay system that generates an ultra-wide, lush stereo field, the Implexus is built for instant musical inspiration and lifelong creative expression.
