With the Bree6, Argentinian manufacturer GS Music presents us with a compact, 6-voice polyphonic analogue synthesiser with a familiar sound. Anyone who likes the structure and straightforward sound of old Roland Juno synthesisers will find something comparable in the Bree6, which is not and does not want to be a clone and simply sounds convincingly good. The OLED Display also functions as an oscilloscope and displays the waveform of the oscillator, the progression of the envelopes and the effects. The 512 presets, which can be overwritten at will, are joined by Panel Mode; as soon as this is activated, the sound corresponds to the current controller settings. Thanks to the full MIDI implementation, the Bree6 can be automated by any DAW or master sequencer. This includes MPE MIDI with polyphonic aftertouch. Controllers such as Osmose, Seaboard or Continuum are ideal candidates to get the most out of the synth.
One voice of the Bree6 consists of an oscillator that generates the sawtooth and/or square waveforms with PWM and a switchable sub-oscillator, an excellent sounding 24dB lowpass filter and a modulatable VCA. The two well-scaled ADSR envelopes are permanently assigned to the filter and VCA. There is also an LFO with 5 waveforms and a handful of modulation assignments for velocity, Aftertouch and the modulation wheel in the menu. The voices can be played polyphonically, polyphonically with dynamic voice distribution in the panorama, monophonically or Unisono . The Detune control provides a certain sparkle in the eyes, especially in Unisono mode.
With Chorus and Delay , the effects section is clearly laid out, but the sound is very balanced and not too thick. The chorus effect gets by with just one control and embeds the sound in slightly wafting interweavings. The delay effect comes into its own even without tempo synchronisation and blends in well with dub techno and sounds with a slightly dystopian note.
