Rave Generation VA-1000

KEY FEATURES• Ultrasaw powerhouse
Dedicated multi-saw oscillator inspired by classic Supersaw/Hypersaw designs with up to 9 detuned voices for instant width and weight. (7-voice mode echoes JP-style behavior.)
• Dual-osc core + extras
Saw, Pulse (with PWM), Sub (multiple shapes), Noise, and independent semitone tuning per source for stacked intervals and thick layers.
• Unison that scales
Oscillator unison up to 9 voices with wide detune range (to 700 cents) and blend control, from silky ensemble to power-chord swarms.
• Multimode analog-style filter + Drive
Nine filter types including Roland-24dB, Moog-24dB, SVF 12 dB (LP/HP/BP), Peak, Notch, LP Acid 24, and the unique LP FM 12 audio-rate mode. Drive can be placed Pre or Post filter for rounded warmth or edgy bite; in LP FM 12, low Drive values also increase FM depth for dramatic timbre.
• LFO with performance tricks
Eight waveforms (incl. S&H and Nord-inspired Triple Peak), tempo sync, fade-in/out, and a second triangle LFO on the mod-wheel that layers on top of LFO 1 for expressive playing.
• Deep destinations
Route LFO to Filter, Pan, Amp, HPF, Resonance, Drive, Ultrasaw Spread, per-oscillator pitch, plus FM Amount, Noise Color, and Pitch Env Depth for animated textures.
• Three envelopes incl. Pitch
Amp, Filter, and Pitch envelopes with wide ranges and per-oscillator pitch targeting for classic thwack, risers, kicks, and zaps.
• Built-in studio FX
Four-mode Chorus (CE3, JP8, AJ2-S, AJ2-M), Alpha Bass boost circuit, Character Delay with tone shaping and JP-style ping-pong cross-feed, and a Lexicon-inspired Reverb with ducking to keep the dry signal front-and-center.
• Performance & playability
Chord Memory (24 types), SH-101-style arpeggiator (triplets/dotted divisions, 80 % default gate), portamento (legato/always), key-tracked filter, stereo width up to 200 %, bass/treble output EQ, and more.
• Vintage character controls
Vintage Drift adds progressive stretch tuning (0–100 cents) to prevent digital phase-locking on octaves. Osc Reset switches between random-phase VCO style and phase-zero DCO style for consistent attack transients. PWM Sync locks pulse-width modulation to DAW tempo.
