A pre-owned Neuzeit Instruments Warp & Expander in excellent condition. They come with original packaging and accessories.
Manufacturer's description
Warp is a complete synthesizer that offers an impressive sound spectrum with 4 voices and 2 oscillators each. The heart of this instrument is its innovative hybrid engine that perfectly combines additive and wavetable synthesis.
The WarpEx Expander adds polyphony and MPE support to Warp through MIDI and 4x CV & Gate. But even standalone Warp is already an impressive monophonic synthesizer.
For all its feature-richness, Warp still remains a very playable and performance-oriented instrument. The large potentiometers serve as macro controls to control several internal parameters at once. This keeps the instrument easy to control with a clear number of controls, but all of them are very expressive. Likewise, Warp offers the ability to store and load any number of custom presets in addition to the factory presets. This makes Warp ideal for both detailed sound design in the studio and hands-on performance on stage.
Warp provides access to the internal signal chain via an animated and easy-to-understand menu. The navigation is as intuitive as with our module "Quasar" and is easily done via a push encoder and a back button. The display shows which function the four large aluminum encoders currently have, and four colored LEDs next to the encoders provide visual assistance.
The module's pitch is adjusted via a separate detented encoder, which adjusts it either in fine steps, in semitones or in octaves. That way an octave switch is already integrated.
Warp's signal path takes place first in the frequency domain and later in the time domain, combining the best of additive and subtractive synthesis. Warp's large LED matrix, called GalaXY, is at the beginning of the chain, representing a pool of 32 x 16 overtone spectra. From there, each Voice draws its fundamental sound. Each of Warp's Voices has an XY coordinate in the GalaXY, and from that point scans the underlying overtone spectrum. Interpolation is applied between the individual overtone spectra, creating a smooth transition. The position can be modulated in two directions X and Y, similar to the scanning of waveforms in a wavetable synthesizer. This alone makes it possible to create a wide variety of sounds.
In addition, internal editors are available with which new overtone spectra can be drawn into the GalaXY in a playful manner. These can either be drawn manually or derived from audio samples. The GalaXY content can be saved and loaded from the SD-card, or simply taken from a preset.
An exciting feature is that the GalaXY can be exported to a wavetable file with any target format for other synthesizers. This also allows Warp to be used as an intuitive wavetable editor for other synths.
After the voice has obtained an overtone spectrum from GalaXY, a complex spectral filter is applied to the overtone spectrum, for which a variety of simple and complex filter shapes are available. The filter spectrum can be dynamically modulated in depth and stretching, but can also be turned into an overtone generator. The combination of GalaXY and spectral filter alone offers a variety of sound spectra that leaves little to be desired in the field of additive synthesis.
The overtone spectrum formed by this is then converted into a wavetable in real time, to which in turn up to four effects are applied in parallel: Wavefolding, Time-Bend, Overdrive and Redux.
The resulting waveform now serves as the source for two oscillators that can interact with each other in different ways. Linear Detune, Oscillator Sync, AM, FM, Phase Distortion and Filtered Noise are available for selection. Effect depth, pitch and amplitude are available as parameters. The signal then passes through two filters, one of which serves as a high-pass filter and the other as a low-pass filter.
The parameters in the signal path are accessible via an internal modulation matrix. Internal modulation sources (2 x ADSR, 2 x LFO, note key) or external sources can be used (OMNI CV input, MIDI CC, velocity, aftertouch). The numerous modulation destinations allow you to give free rein to your creativity in sound design. The matrix is also a clear representation to see at a glance how an existing sound is composed. The possibility to modulate many modulation destinations with up to 24,000 Hz is a special feature of this digital synthesizer.
The module consists of high-quality and mechanically robust components, the back of the module and the expander are closed. Audio is output at 24 bit and 48 kHz, internally 32 bit and oversampling is used. On board is a precision voltage reference that allows Warp and WarpEx to calibrate themselves at the touch of a button.
How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD and Royal Mail for the UK, and for international orders it's either DPD, DHL, FedEx, UPS or Royal Mail depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday delivery
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Most orders are delivered within 3 to 5 working days if sent on a courier service. Royal Mail services can take a lot longer and are often less secure.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
