Indigo 3!

[Hollowcell]

I could hardly beleive it myself when I received this in my inbox this morning. Looks really nice indeed! I'm not sure how long I can keep this picture up though fellas, I was asked to keep it quiet.

I didn't get the full specs, but here is what I found out;

Basicly it's the same as the C series as far as sound, although it has more poly, new filters, new FX and of course the obvious differences such as the screen and patch section! Also some not so obvious such as it now has USB, CV to midi converter and a digital in/out.

The screen isn't a touch screen, but more a graphical display with corresponding buttons. Why a big graphical display you ask?....This helps with the patching!!!!!

The patch bay looks small doesn't it? Well the idea behind this sounds cool indeed! The indigo3 has a hardwired config just like the C series, but this can be over-riden with patch cables. Once you patch using the cables, you can then save that config with in the sound-save itself! Even if you remove the patch cables the sound retains it's new patching setup (on the screen you can see the signal flow! This is why it has that nice screen). This small patch section also alows patch cable editing for your FX too - again all can be saved, so removing the cables will not change the sound (once you have saved of course). Also the maybe the most exciting part is the patch section allows for adding the Indigo3 in the chain for vintage synths. Imagine using the Indigos midi synced LFOs to control the filter of your MS-20!

USB helps you with creating sounds on the computer, but it also allows you to join 2 or 3 other Indigo3s together for having even more voices! The USB also allows conection with it's bigger brother (which I could not get any info on ).

Basicly this thing looks like it will make not only the C series cheap, but also the G2 will come down as well!
