NEXT CHAPTER
6 VOICES, 16 ANALOG OSCILLATORS PER VOICE, ANALOG MULTIMODE FILTER WITH 5 DIFFERENT CHARACTERS, 4 ENVELOPES, 4 LFOS, MOD MATRIX WITH 32 SLOTS, ARPEGGIATOR, SEQUENCER, FX AND THAT’S JUST THE START!
Redshift 6 is a six-voice analog polyphonic synthesizer that redefines what a polysynth can be.
Powered by Demon Core oscillators and a Variable Character Filter, each voice features 16 true analog oscillators — delivering everything from supersaw stabs and lush pads to powerful unison basses and vintage polysynth sounds.
With 16 simultaneous analog oscillators per voice, Redshift 6 goes far beyond traditional 6- or even 12-voice analog polysynths. Its flexible architecture allows the oscillators to be assigned in multiple ways, from supersaw-style stacks to massive 96-oscillator unison. The oscillators can also be played in paraphony, allowing up to five simultaneous notes on a single voice. These notes can be shaped independently, thanks to Redshift 6’s dedicated DCO ENV envelope generators.
Combined with 6-part multitimbrality, per-part sequencers and arpeggiators, and a powerful effects section, Redshift 6 becomes more than a synthesizer — it’s a complete sound design instrument.
In practice, Redshift 6 can function as up to six simultaneous independent synthesizers, each with its own character, making it a true analog powerhouse built for modern production and performance.

DEMON CORE
OSCILLATOR
Demon Core Oscillator is a MDCO (Multiperiod Digitally Controlled Oscillator) which allows a single analog oscillator core to form multiple simultaneous waves with pitch and phase control.
Even though the analog oscillator cores are digitally controlled, the Demon Core Oscillators sonic possibilities go way beyond traditional DCO’s. In practice this means that all the 16 analog oscillators in each 6 voices can be individually controlled. With the 16 oscillators per voice, each of the six voices can also operate as a paraphonic voice with up to 5 note paraphony. Each paraphonic note can also have its own amplitude envelope, enabled by the Redshift 6’s DCO ENV.

CHARACTER& DRIVE
With different character profiles, each voice’s analog signal path regarding tuning, gain staging, filter, amp, and envelope behavior can be changed from almost digitally sterile and clean to distorted misbehavior and beyond.
The sound character of legendary synths is what they are revered and desired for. This character is made up of various distortion characteristics, the precise shape of the filter response curve, the envelope shape, tuning accuracy and variations in all of these between voices. In designing our own analog circuits and their control algorithms, we had to decide which character would we aim towards… and decided to not decide! Using our ultra-flexible filter design from the Neutron Flux Filter, variable gain staging, the fine-tuning capabilities of the DCO, and digital control of all these, we’re able to approximate many very different characters. We’ve packaged five of them to the Character control of the Redshift, and as an extra treat, we let you interpolate between them to find your own perfect sweet spot!

FX
PRODUCTION QUALITY FX WITH ANALOG SOUL
Redshift 6’s FX Engines deliver production-level, 24-bit stereo effects. Its parallel signal path allows you to blend analog audio with DSP effects, giving you the warmth and character of analog signal path alongside the precision and flexibility of modern digital processing. The different engines of the FX section add spaciousness, movement, and depth to the sound without compromising its analog soul.

REDEFINING MULTITIMBRALITY
6-PART MULTITIMBRALITY, DYNAMIC VOICE ALLOCATION, AND UP TO 5 NOTES OF PARAPHONY PER VOICE
Multitimbrality allows Redshift 6 to function as multiple independent synthesizers. Each part can be polyphonic, paraphonic, or monophonic, and each can have its own unique character.
With Redshift 6, multitimbrality is always at your fingertips. Its user interface is built from the ground up to enable a seamless workflow between mono- and multitimbral setups. Under the hood, Redshift 6 is always multitimbral—there’s no need to switch to a specific multitimbral mode. A new multitimbral synth part can be activated with just the push of a button. Voice allocation, polyphony, paraphony, group settings, and other parameters are easily configured in the Parts view.
MUCH MORE THAN A 6-VOICE POLY
Multitimbrality truly unleashes the full power of Redshift 6’s 96 oscillators.
With each of the Redshift 6’s six voices capable of generating up to 16 oscillators, the Redshift 6 offers an impressive expansion in overall polyphony. A single voice supports up to five paraphonic notes simultaneously, each featuring dual oscillators and a noise source. These notes can have independent amplitude shaping, thanks to the Redshift 6’s dedicated DCO ENV envelope generators.
Redshift 6 also features dynamic voice allocation, allowing voices to be borrowed from other parts when needed. When combined with paraphony, Reshift 6 pushes polyphony well beyond what traditional multitimbral synths can offer.
Thanks to the flexible voice allocation, the voices to be assigned in various ways: split across keyboard zones for traditional polyphonic setups, layered to play rich, combined textures, or used as six independent one voice parts.
Redshift 6’s six audio outputs provide flexible routing options, allowing individual parts to be assigned to separate outputs.
