![]() The main ones are two oscillators (although a mitigating factor is that you can configure these as two individual notes, stacked notes, octaves, or mono) and no filter envelope. ![]() However we’ll get the main issues out of the way now because let’s face it…when you have something that costs under $100 and is small enough that your dog could eat it, there are going to be some limitations. Normally in reviews, you list the limitations at the end because people are usually interested in finding out what something does before finding out what it doesn’t do. Granted, it looks like something that crawled out of Windows 95…but it works. Note that this cool artwork is not the accompanying editing software (Windows, Mac 10.6 and above, and iPad), but it does get across what the PL2 offers.Īnd here’s the editor itself. This graphic represents the complement of modules. ![]() I tested the Leukos audio with a KRK 5 powered monitor not just because it sounds really good for a small speaker, but also because it’s pretty much indestructible-which matters with the Leukos, because it has a pretty hot output. It connects to your computer via USB (pre-lightning iPad fans, get the Camera Kit while you still can), and the RCA phono output feeds your mixer or a powered speaker. The Leukos being reviewed here is designed to work with computers-both Mac and Windows. The black version has a 5-pin MIDI in, RCA phono audio output, and mini-USB jack for power it’s your basic real-time hardware synth. There are two PL2 models, the black MIDI one and the white USB one (nicknamed the Leukos). ![]() If on the other hand you’re looking for fat analog strings, Moogacious bass lines, and piano sounds…keep looking. If you like Commodore-64 SID chips, speak ‘n’ spell, circuit bending, and generally affordable hardware weirdness that’s about the size of a corpulent ice cube, you’ve come to the right place. ![]() It seems like “little” is the new “big” these days-check out Yamaha’s ReFace series, Roland’s Boutique line of synths, or Korg’s various micro, nano, and femto devices (okay, admittedly they haven’t reached “femto” yet). Have a terrific time tweaking this tiny titan of tantalizing tones ![]()
