Inspired by Yesterday's Legends. Built for Today.

Micro Voice Traceray is a cutting-edge polyphonic synth voice designed for powerful, immediate sound creation within Voltage Modular. With its huuuge stereo unison oscillator, powerful secondary oscillator, and a hefty sub oscillator the sound palette reaches from the widest supersaws to the phattest squares and beyond. A flexible multi-mode dual-filter with lots of character and grit tames the massive spectrum. Get things moving with the on-board modulation. Besides the dedicated amplifier envelope, there's a flexible modulation envelope that can do everything from ADSR, ASR, to AD envelope with lots of shaping and modulation capabilities. A stereo LFO gets things swirling and moving all over the place. This whole package is carefully finished by a sample-rate reducer, a neat matrix chorus, a stereo delay, and a versatile EQ section.
