1 - Introduction and compatibility
KLASSIK 106 is a virtual analogue synthesizer instrument that can be
loaded ONLY IN THE FULL VERSION of Kontakt 6.6 or above. Designed
and tested by the startup Kontakt instruments developer HÖSS AUDIO.
KLASSIK 106 is developed based on Kontakt 6 new Wavetable engine.
KLASSIK 106 was designed to emulate the famous 80’s Analogue
synthesizer, alongside 4 effects modules based on classic hardware effects
(Tape Delay, Equalizer, Compressor, Tube Overdrive).

2 - What’s inside?
KLASSIK 106 includes 4 main modules:
MODULE 1:
A virtual vintage analogue synthesizer based on the iconic 80’s 106
hardware synth.
MODULE 2:
A Tape delay machine with 3 tape heads and a spring reverb (Impulse
Responses), based on the iconic Tape Delay 201 audio effect unit.
5
MODULE 3:
A Parametric equalizer based on the classic 611 Console Channel Strip.
MODULE 4:
A compressor based on the classic G series console master bus
compressor, alongside a Tube overdrive effect module.
3 - Effects Panel
The FX CHAIN is used to:
- Activate/Deactivate the effects modules
- Access each effect’s settings
6

-Drag the jack connector Up/Down to Activate/Deactivate the effect.
-The Red Led indicator on the right of the connector indicates the
Active/Bypass state of each effect.
2 - EFFECT SETTINGS
Press on the “settings” logo on top of each module, to access the settings
of the corresponding effect
4 - Synth 106
Synth 106 is the main module containing the Synthesizer module.
Synth 106 automatically appears as the main module when the instrument
is opened.

When (4) is set to LFO, the PWM slider controls the depth of the LFO that
controls the Pulse Width.
4 - PWM MODE SWITCH
When set to Manual, the Pulse Width is controlled by the PWM slider (3).
When set to LFO, the Pulse Width is controlled by the LFO.

filter.
5 - LFO MODULATION
Sets the intensity of the modulation applied by the LFO on the LP filter.
6 - KEYBOARD CV MODULATION
Sets the intensity of the modulation applied by the Keyboard control voltage
on the LP filter cutoff point.
4.5 - VCA
11
1 - CONTROL SIGNAL SELECTOR
Sets whether to control the VCA by the signal from the ADSR envelope
generator or by the Gate signal.
2 - VCA LEVEL
Adjusts the VCA Level.
4.6 - ENV
Envelope that generates the control voltage applied to the VCF and VCA.
Envelope has 4 parameters:
A (Attack time)
D (Decay time)
S (Sustain level)
R (Release time)
12
4.7 - ARPEGGIATOR
1 - ARPEGGIATOR (ON/OFF)
Turns the Arpeggiator On/Off (Arpeggiator state is indicated by the Red Led
indicator).
2 - HOLD
If HOLD is pressed, the arpeggiator continues to play after you release the
pressed notes.
3 - ARPEGGIATOR RATE
Sets the Rate of the Arpeggiator (Synced)
4 - ARPEGGIATOR RATE DISPLAY
Displays the current rate.
5 - ARPEGGIATOR RANGE
Sets the arpeggiator playing range (1,2 or 3 octaves)
6 - ARPEGGIATOR MODE
Sets the arpeggiator playing mode:
Up
Up / Down
Down
13
4.8 - CHORUS
Buttons 1 and 2 activate the built-in Chorus effect.
Mode 2 has a higher (faster) rate than Mode 1.
4.9 - BENDER PANEL
14
1 - LFO TRIGGER
If LFO trigger mode is set to MANUAL, the LFO trigger switch activates the
LFO when pressed.
2 - DCO Bender amount
Sets the variable range of the DCO’s pitch when it’s controlled by the
Bender.
3 - VCF Bender amount
Sets the maximum effect of the Bender, when it’s controlling the Cutoff
point of the VCF.
4 - PORTAMENTO TIME
Sets the time of the portamento (glide) effect.
