The Eowave Magma is priced at €599 and is expected to be available ‘soon’.

Here’s a demo of the Magma prototype:

• Oscillator section
• analog VCO with square saw sub (sub can be 1 or 2 octaves below the master freq), noise.
• VCO can be modulated by LFO and PW
• Variable glide
• mixer to mix the 4 waveforms
• Filter section
• Full analogue VCO, filter & VCA
• external audio with a trimmer to feed the filter
• 24dB low pass filter (Roland style for a classical 80s sound)
