{"product_id":"msw-820-analogue-synthesizer","title":"MSW-820 Analogue Synthesizer","description":"\u003ch4\u003eRoland DNA, rebuilt for 2026.\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MSW-820 is a compact, fader-heavy analog monosynth from Michigan Synth Works, and its roots run straight through the golden age of Roland mono synths. The oscillators are AS3340-based, the filter core is AS3109, the very same chip family that gave the SH-101, MC-202 and CMU-810 their unmistakable voice. This is that immediate, characterful Roland-style tone, rebuilt from the silicon up and handed a whole lot more to play with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe headline is the filter. Sixteen modes, all analog, built around an AS3109 in a pole-mixing arrangement borrowed from the Caveman Totem module. Two banks of eight cover 24dB and 12dB lowpass, highpass, bandpass, notch, allpass and a generous run of hybrid responses that go well beyond the usual mono-synth menu. And hidden just above the cutoff sits a small attenuverter simply labelled THIS. Turn it up and VCO1's triangle routes straight into the filter at audio rate. Filter FM, right there on the panel, no patching required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo oscillators with saw, pulse and PWM, hard sync and glide. A second envelope, a digital noise source with eight flavors, and a syncable digital LFO with eight crossfadeable shapes. The whole thing runs from a single USB-C cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall box.
