VOICE ARCHITECTURE

VCOs:

Two voltage controlled discrete analog oscillators, one sub wave of Oscillator 1, waveforms: triangle, sawtooth and variable width square; simultaneous waveforms output; syncing of Osc 2 to Osc 1.

VCFs:

Two voltage controlled discrete analog filters: 12 db (classic Oberheim® style) hard-wired into voice board; 24db (classic Moog® style) in docking slot 1; 2 additional filter docking slots––2 and 3, can host our classic Roland® 303, Arp® 2600, and Yamaha® CS-80 style all hardware filters; 12db filter modes: low pass, bandpass, high pass and band reject. Filters do not operate in series or parallel. Each voice can access all four filters.

Envelopes:

Three multiple stage envelope generators: attack, decay, sustain and release with inverting and multiple triggering; additional delay, decay 2, and breakpoint parameters for envelopes 1 and 2; assignable 3rd envelope with up to three destinations and depths. Envelope 1 fixed to filter frequency. Envelope 2 fixed to amplifier level.

LFOs:

Three low frequency oscillators, waveforms: triangle, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, square, noise, random; three destinations and depths each for LFOs 1&2, with range, delay, key trigger, phase, mode (mono or poly), quantize, midi sync. LFO3 fixed to voice panning.

Arpeggiator:

One, parameters: tempo, direction, range, interval, midi sync.

Glide:

Linear or exponential, parameters: time, mode (auto, legato, glissando), autoglide interval, dynamics, destination.

Unison Mode:

One, two, four, six, or eight voices.

Multi Mode:

Prepared: one MIDI channel, up to eight different patches (synths); split: set point; layer: 4-4…; multi: channelize up to 8 patches (synths).

Additional Features:

Oscillator 2 audio frequency modulation, destinations: OSC 1 frequency, OSC 1 pulse width, filter frequency; white noise generator; auto triggering external input processor on each voice, parameters: input level, trigger level, mix level, window.

Modulation Destinations:

LFOs 1, 2 and envelope 3: VCO 1 and 2 frequency, pulse width, and mix level, VCF frequency and resonance, noise level, Xmod amount, LFOs 1 and 2 rate and depth, VCA level, external mix level.

MIDI Controllers:

Dynamics, modwheel, bender, pressure, tracking, breath controller: LFOs 1, 2 and envelope 3 destinations, including envelopes 1, 2, and 3 attack, decay, sustain, release amounts.

MIDI Specifications:

In out and thru. Receives program change, bank select, glide on/off, glide time, volume, SYSEX. Controllers: dynamics, modwheel, bender, pressure destination and amount (x2). Controller 1 assignments: dyn, mod, pressure, bend, tracking, continuous cont #2 (x2), controller 1 amount (x2). Controller 2 assignments: same as controller 1 (x2), controller 2 amount (x2). Dynamics, tracking, and bender can manipulate positive and negative modulation values. Fixed continuous controller assignments exist for all key functions.

FEATURED FUNCTIONS

• Multi-filter Powered
  

  

  Classic Mini, Obie, are standard; SE’s 303, 2600 and dual resonant CS80 style filters can be added in any configuration to the two empty docking slots per voice board.

• Multitimbral Flexible

  

  Never venture beyond program mode or boldy redisign in Multimbral mode using splits, layers prepared (one MIDI # up to 8 different sounds!), and multichannel setups.

• 8 Individual Outs

  

  Each voice is a complete sythnthesizer so why not wire it up accordingly? Eight TRS connections can make that happen at home or on the go; hot & clean Stereo & Mono too.

• 8 External Inputs

  

  8 autotriggering external inputs: lock ’em to MIDI clock, rock crossmod, 2600 & CS-80 filters, 30+ simultaneous mods, real-time CCs––transmit your front panel tweaks!
