Nanopolis Antigone

Six-voice hybrid multi-instrument Eurorack synthesizer

26 HP Eurorack module

Antigone is a hybrid digital/analog-voiced Eurorack synthesizer by Nanopolis offering up to 6 polyphonic voices distributed across 1 to 6 simultaneous instruments within a single project. It combines the warmth and presence of analog synthesis with the flexibility and precision of a digital architecture, supporting multiple synthesis machines, a modulation matrix, envelopes, LFOs, Note FX processors, and a built-in mixer for expressive and complex sound design.

Features

  • Up to 6 simultaneous polyphonic voices per project
  • 1 to 6 instruments per project with configurable voice layout
  • 6 synthesis machines: Synthesizer, Simple Oscillator, Sample Player, Granular, Drum Synth, Resonator
  • Per-instrument NOTE FX slot for pitch/gate/velocity reshaping (quantization, transposition, glide, drift, chords, arpeggiator, rhythm generator)
  • Per-instrument CONTROL slot for CV/Gate or MIDI routing
  • 6 modulators per instrument (DAHDSR envelope, LFO, Shape sequencer, Sample & hold, MSEG)
  • Per-instrument filter section with built-in FLT ENV
  • Per-instrument amp section with built-in AMP ENV
  • Project-level Mixer with per-instrument volume, pan, mute, solo, output routing, and FX bus
  • Modulation Matrix for project-wide modulation routing overview
  • 16 Macros for multi-parameter performance control with MIDI CC assignment
  • Internal and external Clock with swing and sync settings
