Dreadbox Artemis

A polyphonic analog synth inspired by mythology and Dreadbox heritage

With Artemis, Dreadbox brings its analog expertise into a desktop polyphonic synthesizer with a strong identity. Its name refers to the Greek goddess of the hunt and wilderness, a figure that is both precise, protective, and elusive. This mythological reference perfectly reflects the instrument’s character: direct, lively, and wide, yet capable of finesse in textures and sonic movement.

An instrument designed for keyboardists, producers, and sound designers

The Dreadbox Artemis is aimed at musicians seeking the warmth of an analog polysynth without sacrificing a modern approach to sound. Its six voices allow for rich chords, evolving pads, harmonic sequences, polyphonic basses, and expressive leads. In the studio, it integrates easily into a MIDI setup; on stage, it can be controlled by a keyboard or a sequencer equipped with a DIN5 MIDI output.

Analog synthesis enhanced by Sinevibes stereo effects

Artemis combines classic analog synthesis with a high-quality stereo effects section developed by Sinevibes. The four effect types are arranged in series and offer multiple algorithms, opening the door to wide, textured, and dynamic sounds. The stereo spread control for both voices and effects allows precise shaping of the sound space, from centered and dense tones to immersive panoramic pads.
