OSCILLATING DUALITY
Alternate Waves
"The mind of man is capable of anything-because everything is in it, all the past as well as all the future." - Joseph Conrad

TERRY BURTON
ENGINEER/FOUNDER
"I've been on a never ending quest for a guitar synthesizer. Whenever I sit down in front of the Enzo, It's pure creativity without the roadblocks I always run into with other guitar synths."

RULER OF THE HOUSE
Take an Inward Voyage
A multi-voice synthesizer that will track your guitar for tight monosynth leads, complex chord polyphony, or multi-note sequenced arpeggiation. All without any special pickup installation. Just put it on your board and discover your own reality. The Enzo isn't limited to guitar; use it on any instrument whether drum machine, vocals or other synths. Completely transform your input signal and synthesize. Use the full synth palette of multimode analog style synth filters, ring modulation, envelopes and much much more to drive punchy, thick synth textures. Or, explore an altered state of your pure instrument signal by transforming it with pitch, time and modulation effects. Plug in to a revelation generator.

Controls - Meris Enzo

• Pitch
  • Changes the pitch of the Synth or Dry signal in half step increments
  • Alt Function: Portamento
  • Smoothly glide from one Synth note to another (Bends the pitch using the filter envelope as a modifier in Dry Mode)
• Filter
  • Changes the cutoff frequency of the filter
  • Alt Function: Filter Type
  • Select between 6 filter types (from Min to Max):
    1. Ladder Lowpass
    2. Ladder Shelving Bandpass
    3. Ladder Highpass
    4. State Variable Lowpass
    5. State Variable Bandpass
    6. State Variable Highpass
• Mix
  • Adjusts the balance between Dry and Wet signals
  • Alt Function: Delay Level
  • Sets the level of a single delay tap from Min to Mid. After the Midpoint, this control blends in a second stereo tap.
• Sustain
  • Increases the sustain of Synth notes (Compresses the input in Dry Mode)
  • Alt Function: Ring Modulation
  • Changes the frequency of a classic ring modulator. The filter envelope as a modifier
• Filter Envelope
  • Sets attack and decay rates for the Triggered Envelope; sets the direction and sensitivity for the Envelope Follower
  • Alt Function: Filter Bandwidth (Resonance)
  • Changes the filter from a wide bandwidth for gentle filtering to a narrow bandwidth for peaky filtering
• Modulation
  • Detunes the oscillators of each Synth voice (Sets the amount of delay modulation in Dry mode)
  • Alt Function: Delay Feedback
  • Sets the repeats for the delay line
• Tap
  • Sets the time for the delay (530 mS max delay time) and arpeggiated Synth
  • Alt Function: Envelope Type
  • Changes the Filter Envelope from Triggered Envelope to Envelope Follower
  • Hold Tap: Momentarily turns Delay Feedback to max
• Hold to access Alt Functions
  • Alt Functions are only accessible when this button is held
• Bypass
  • Disables processing and passes the input through to the output
  • Alt Function: Synth Waveshape
  • Changes the Synth waveshape from Sawtooth to Square
• Press to Select Synth Mode
  • (Press to Select Synth Mode)
  • Poly: Multi-Voice Synthesizer with polyphonic chord tracking
  • Mono: Single Voice Dual Osc Synth w/monophonic tracking
  • Arp: Turns your chords into sequenced patterns linked to the tap tempo
  • Dry: Disables the Synth. Allows the filter, delay and pitch shift to be applied to the input signal
