6-Voice Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer

The Dreadbox Artemis is a desktop polyphonic analog synthesizer offering six voices of polyphony. It features two voltage-controlled oscillators per voice with waveshaping, pulse-width modulation and frequency modulation. The instrument includes a resonant low-pass filter with 12 dB and 24 dB slopes, a high-pass filter and two ADSR envelopes. Four stereo Sinevibes effects processors run simultaneously. Polyphonic aftertouch and MPE compatibility provide expressive control.

Sound Designers and Electronic Musicians

This synthesizer suits producers seeking rich analog textures for music production, film scoring and sound design. The polyphonic sequencer and arpeggiator support complex pattern creation. Players who rely on polyphonic aftertouch will benefit from the expressive keybed. Musicians requiring built-in sampling, extensive digital modulation routing or a compact performance keyboard with integrated speakers should consider other instrument types.

640 Presets Across 10 Banks

The onboard library provides 640 preset sounds organised into ten banks of 64 patches each. This capacity covers a wide range of starting points for pads, leads, basses and soundscapes. Two polyphonic LFOs with BPM sync, fade-in and cross-modulation add deep modulation headroom. Users needing more than six simultaneous voices or a larger factory library will reach the instrument’s polyphonic and storage limits.

Questions about this item

Do I need an external MIDI controller or computer to play the 6-voice polyphonic engine?

Artemis is a desktop module with no built-in keyboard, so you must connect a MIDI controller, MPE controller or DAW via its MIDI or USB ports to trigger the two VCOs per voice.

Can I sync the polyphonic sequencer and two poly LFOs to my older hardware that only sends MIDI clock?

Yes — the sequencer and both LFOs accept BPM sync over MIDI clock, letting vintage gear drive tempo while Artemis handles 640 presets across 10 banks internally.

How do I verify the high-pass filter and 24/12 dB low-pass filter are responding to keyboard tracking after patch init?

Play chromatic scales across the keyboard; the cutoff should follow note pitch when tracking is enabled, and resonance peaks shift predictably with each semitone.
