Boutique pedal brand Vongon has launched its first synthesiser, the Vongon Replay – a polyphonic synth, sequencer and arpeggiator wrapped up in one sleek unit.
It offers a six-voice virtual analogue sound engine, and is inspired by keyboard synths of the early 1980s such as the Roland Juno and Korg Polysix.
Replay is Vongon’s fourth product launch, following on from its Paragraphs resonant lowpass filter and waveform generator, the Ultrasheer stereo pitch vibrato/reverb, plus the Polyphrase stereo echo effect unit which has an infinite feedback loop.
