NotesPolyphony - Monophonic Oscillators - 2 digitally controlled analog oscillators (DCOs) with selectable sawtooth, triangle, saw/triangle mix, and pulse waves (with pulse-width modulation), and hard sync; 2 digital wavetable oscillators with Prophet VS waves and wave sequencing capability, FM and ring modulation. White noise generator. LFO - 4 LFOs each with sawtooth, triangle, ramp, pulse, and random waves. Each LFO can be routed to any destination in the matrix. Can sync to MIDI clock. Filter - 2 Low-pass filters: 1 analog Curtis filter per channel, selectable 2- and 4-pole operation (self-resonating in 4-pole mode) and ADSR envelope generator. 2 digital 4-pole Highpass filters. VCA - 1 analog VCA per channel with ADSR envelope generator Arpeg/Seq - Sequencer: 16 x 4 analog-style step sequencer that syncs to MIDI clock. Arpeggiator: up, down, up/down, and assignable modes, and latched operation. Keyboard - 3-octave, semi-weighted action keyboard with velocity and aftertouch. Effects - Digital delays: 3 separate, syncable, stereo delay lines. Dual (left and right channel) tunable feedback loops with "Grunge": use feedback as a pitched sound source. Distortion! Digital, one for each channel, can be placed before or after analog electronics; and "Output Hack." Separate Glide per oscillator. Memory - 512 fully editable programs (four banks of 128). Control - MIDI In, Out, and Thru, and Poly Chain. Pedal/CV1 and Pedal/CV2 inputs: responds to expression pedals or control voltages ranging from 0 to 5 VDC. Date Produced - 2006
