Based on the overlooked Akai AX73 analog synthesizer from 1986 and packed with over 600 presets, the MARTINIC AX73 is an analog-style, subtractive virtual plug-in synth featuring two layers, each with two voltage-controlled-emulating oscillators. This software version expands the AX73's original six-voice polyphony to 24 voices and allows you to split the layers across the keyboard for two sounds at once or stack them for a massive four-oscillator sound. 

Each layer has a filter, chorus, modulation from 4 envelopes, and 4 LFOs. Each layer has a multimode arpeggiator modeled on the AX60 keyboard. Martinic has added a comprehensive eight-unit effects section including Compressor, Phaser, Flanger, Chorus, Delay, Reverb, Distortion, and EQ. The effects can be arranged in any order using the FX Chain.

Q: 6. I have a HS 600 data video with SD-SDI output at 720 by 576i. Can this converter convert the signal to HD-SDI?

A: No, this converter doesn't upconvert video, it just converts it from analog (component/composite/s-video) to SDI. The Mini Converter UpDownCross HD though, can upconvert SD-SDI to HD-SDI https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1401679-REG/blackmagic_design_convmudcstd_hd_mini_converter_updowncross_hd.html

Q: 7. I want the "look" of the dvx100a while shooting with modern iPhones. Can this be used to that effect in any way possible? How?

A: The Blackmagic Design Mini Converter SDI to Analog is for cable and signal compatibility for video hardware solutions. It will not produce the look of an older camera through its conversion.

Q: 8. Does the mini converter retain DIP switch 1 aspect ratio after power cycling? The manual instructions are to cycle switch 1 twice to apply center cut aspect ratio. I want to locate the converter remotely so I need to know if it will retain the center cut aspect ratio after power down / power up cycling.

A: According to the information provided in the manual it states that:Each time you cycle between Off and On you apply anamorphic, center cut or letterbox aspect ratios. Leaving switch 1 set to OFF bypasses the down converter and outputs in HD.When connected to the Blackmagic Converter Utility via USB, your down conversion settings are controlled by the software. If you want the converter to remember your software settings, disconnect from the computer, power cycle your converter and set your down conversion using mini switch 1.
