ReDominator is synthesizer, controller and Sysex librarian inspired by the classic Alpha Juno, a polyphonic DCO (digitally controlled oscillator) based synth from 1986 most famous for the Hoover sound used in Hard Style and Rave.
Also available as a Rack Extension at the Reason Studios shop!
RAVE ROOTS
The AJ-1/2 became popular in the early 90's techno and rave scene particularly by the classicHooversound (which ReDominator emulates accurately). But beyond those niche sounds there lays a versatile synthesizer that does bass, pads, leads, organs and a lot of other sounds waiting to be discovered!
.
DCO
Featuring fourteen (14) different harmonically rich waveforms including a unique PWM-sawtooth. Three waveforms can be combined per voice enabling massive sounds
ENVELOPE
ReDominator features a unique 8 parameter envelope which enables much more complicated and expressive sounds than a standard ADSR. There are four time settings, three levels and a unique keyboard scaling parameter which gives the sound a "sampler" quality.
FILTER
ReDominator contains a high quality 24dB/octave lowpass filter with a warmth control (VCA level) which unlike the original JU causes warm overtones in place of harsh digital distortion when overdriven

COMMENTS & REVIEWS
Computer Music April 07, 2014 "Excellent Alpha Juno recreation. SysEx import of original Juno patches. Can filter external audio (RE only). Easy, inviting interface. Hoovers a-go-go!"
GearJunkies August 30, 2014 "When first encountering ReDominator i immediately got a huge smile on my face when hearing what sound came out of it. The character of a juno2 is unmistakable and never fully captured in plugin form until now. The essence of the original is closely matched by the people of AudioRealism [...]"
