With the e7, Argentinian manufacturer GS Music presents us with a 7-voice polyphonic analogue synthesiser with subtractive sound generation. The desktop housing with its beautiful wooden side panels makes a high-quality impression and scores points with its screw-mounted controls. All the important parameters can be found on the tidy and well-structured control panel, allowing new sounds to be created almost automatically. Despite the familiar structure, the e7 is not a clone and impresses with a high-quality, independent sound. The OLED
One voice of the e7 consists of two identical oscillators that generate the sawtooth, sharktooth, triangle and square waveforms with PWM. Square can be combined with one of the other waveforms or used on its own. Each oscillator has a sub-oscillator that resonates one octave below the respective tone generator. Hardsync can be activated in the second oscillator. The fifth signal source is a noise generator, which can be replaced by an external signal via the audio input; all signal sources have their own level control in the mixer. This is followed by an excellent-sounding 24dB lowpass filter and the modulatable VCA. The two well-scaled ADSR envelopes are primarily assigned to the filter and VCA, envelope 1 appears again as a modulation source in the oscillators for
