GENERAL FEATURES 26 voices, 4 part multitimbral. 3 part effects section (FX, delay and reverb) for each part 49-key velocity sensitive keyboard (keyboard version only) with octave shift buttons, +/-2 octaves. Keyboard Split with 2 slots for the upper and lower sections. Modulation Wheel (keyboard version only). Pitch Stick with no dead zone at zero crossing (keyboard version only). Programmable Pitch bend range, up to +/- 4 octaves Separate up/down bend range: -12 or -24 semitones, + 2 semitones 1 pedal input for sustain. 1 pedal input for expression pedal. USER INTERFACE 3 LED displays, 23 knobs, 3 encoders and 20+ buttons for program and performance editing. OSCILLATOR SECTION Oscillator models of multiple waveforms (traditional analog, extended analog, pulse waveforms, real-time algorithmical waveforms with additive-, FM- and formant- synthesis) OSC config knob 11 categories (Pitch, Shape, Osc Sync, Noise Mix, Osc 2 Detune, Sine Mix, Tri Mix, Saw Mix, Square Mix, Freq Modulation, Amp Modulation) FILTER SECTION Multi-mode filter with 12 dB (2-pole) low pass, 24 dB (4-pole) lowpass and band pass, high pass, Ladder M and Ladder TB characteristics. Cut off, Resonance, envelope amount, envelope amount controlled by velocity. ADR/ASR envelope. Filter keyboard tracking can be set to off, 1/3, 2/3 or full. Adjustable Filter Distortion. MODULATION SECTION LFO generates a triangle, square, sawtooth, inverted sawtooth or sample and hold waveforms. LFO can be routed to Filter Frequency and Osc mod. The LFO rate can be synchronized to the Master Clock. LFO can be switched to polyphonic Env mode with four different characteristics and sample and hold is manually triggered by keyboard (polyphonic S/H). Arpeggiator: Range: 1 - 4 octave. Modes: up, down, up/down and random. The Arpeggio rate can be synchronized to the Master Clock. ADR/ASR envelope, velocity control on/off, inverse envelope on/off. AMPLIFIER SECTION ADR/ASR envelope, velocity control on/off, gain control. Individual Pan-control per program PERFORMANCE SECTION Voice modes: Poly, Legato with portamento, Mono, True Unison 1, 2 & 3. Four program slots for layering possibilities and multitimbrality. EFFECTS FX section with Flanger, Phaser, Ring Modulation, Chorus, Ensemble and Drive. Delay section with tap tempo, four stages of feedback, stereo ping-pong, dry/wet mix. The Delay speed can be synchronized to the Master Clock. Reverb section with five algorithms (Room, Stage 1, Stage 2, Hall 1, Hall 2). MEMORY Programs (single sounds): 8 x 50 (400) locations Performances (multi sounds): 4 x 50 (200) locations AUDIO OUT 4 outputs. Each slot can be assigned to its own output. Headphones output. High resolution low noise 24 bit DACs. MIDI FEATURES All control knobs and switches send and receive control change messages. System exclusive bulk dumps. One program or all programs. Master Clock will sync to incoming MIDI clock.
