2 I didn’t think it was possible, but Dreadbox just made Artemis better. Thanks to firmware 1.2, there’s a whole host of useful new features added.

This is much more than just a few bug fixes. New Sinevibes BBD Algorithms The big ticket item and the main reason you should already be clicking on the firmware download button is the arrival of two new Sinevibes algorithms. These are bucket brigade delays (or BBD).

BBD Resonator is a comb filter effect, while BBD Playground is an experimental delay algorithm for getting wild with the delay effects. Nice. Additionally, Sinevibes has tweaked the code on its Small, Large, Huge, and Shimmer reverbs for a more natural presence, with better tail structure, larger diffusion, and a wider stereo image.

New Modulation Matrix On the non-Sinevibes side of the update, Dreadbox has blessed Artemis with a modulation matrix, with LFOs, envelopes, velocity, mod wheel, aftertouch, key tracking, and MPE timbres now having their own dedicated pages. You can assign modulations by moving a knob or using the encoder. VCO1 Tune is also now available as a modulation destination.

There’s more: you can now work with triplets and dotted note values in LFOs, delays, the sequencer, and arpeggiator, the latter of which now supports up to 32 notes. There’s also a preset preview and a few other little tweaks. You can download the update on the Dreadbox support page.

Dreadbox Artemis · Source: Dreadbox Six-Voice Polyphonic Power Dreadbox Artemis is a six-voice polyphonic analog synth in a tabletop format. It sports two luscious Dreadbox oscillators with infinitely variable wave shaping, sync, frequency modulation and pulse width. It also offers a sub oscillator and noise generator.

Dreadbox Artemis · Source: Dreadbox In the filter section, Artemis offers a switchable 12- and 24db/Oct resonant lowpass filter with keyboard tracking, drive, and FM courtesy the oscillator or noise. Not one to skimp on filters, Artemis also has a resonant highpass filter. Modulation and More Dreadbox Artemis is well-apportioned on the modulation front as well, with two ADSR envelopes – one for the VA and the other for the lowpass filter – while the two LFOs feature BPM sync and fade in.

Clever. Sinevibes Effects, More You may remember the Typhon, Dreadbox’s monophonic collaboration with software effects company, Sinevibes. Artemis is something of a polyphonic upgrade from the Typhon, and again features some delicious algorithms from Sinevibes.

Dreadbox Artemis offers four effects that you can use simultaneously: distortion/bit crush, modulation effects including chorus and ensemble, delay, and reverb. A polyphonic sequencer, arpeggiator and polyphonic aftertouch round out the Artemis. Price and Availability Artemis looks like another great instrument from Dreadbox.

Note that some images on retailers show wood panels connected to Artemis. These are not included and will be made available later as optional accessories. Dreadbox Artemis is available now from Thomann*.
