AtomoSynth has introduced the Mochika X7, a semi-modular analog synthesizer that updates the company’s Mochika series with an expanded sequencer, additional sound-shaping capabilities, and revised connectivity, Synthtopia reported. Designed and assembled by the Peruvian manufacturer, the instrument pairs an analog voltage-controlled oscillator with a digitally controlled oscillator. It also includes a vactrol-based filter, an ADSR envelope generator, an LFO, and a delay effect that accepts control-voltage input.
The X7’s sequencer offers 32 steps, nine playback modes, and nonvolatile storage for up to 100 patterns, according to Synthtopia. An 18-point patchbay provides nine inputs and nine outputs for routing oscillator, filter, delay, and modulation signals, enabling integration into larger modular or semi-modular setups.
The control panel features a high-contrast OLED display, eight rotary encoders with pushbuttons, and eight step LEDs. The internal clock can synchronize with an external clock, MIDI clock, and USB MIDI. External MIDI devices can also be used for note input and sequence transposition.
The Mochika X7 is planned in two formats: a desktop synthesizer with an enclosure and a 48HP Eurorack module. The desktop configuration uses an external 19V power supply, while the Eurorack version draws power from the modular system, Synthtopia reported.
