ONE OR THREE
It took me a while to get used to One’s wilfully split personality but I’m so glad I did. Being able to effectively make it one, two, or three separate synths is so useful. Having a sequence set up on one, a drone with a second and lead on a third makes the One a very playable standalone band in a box. Creating multitimbral soundscapes that can be split or layered, played, or left running in the background can feel like having the best of modular, alongside the accessibility of keys for a lead at the same time, all from one instrument.
