1. VCO 1, 2, 3: Create raw pitch. Sawtooth (brassy), square
(hollow), pulse (reedy), triangle (mellow)
and sine (very mellow) waves available. Pitch control sliders
include: vibrato, trill, sample/hoid and
ADSR control. All oscillators can double as controllers via AUDIO/LF
switch. Pulse width modulation
(available on VCO 2) can produce saxophone sounds, dynamic brass
ensemble effects and other
heavy synthesizer sounds.
2. VCF: Changes timbre by adding, subtracting or emphasizing
harmonics. Various controllers control
VCF by keyboard, VCO 2 rrremolo LFO), ADSR or any other controller
that can be patched into the
control input jacks.
3. ADSR/AR: Envelope generators that control every aspect of articulation.
4. VCA: Used as a voltage-controlled volume control. Essential
to any patch when the performer desires to
have the VCF open in a static mode.
5. Pan: Pan pot locates any two sounds in the stereophonic Image.
6. Reverb: Enhances and adds richness and concert-hall depth to a patch.
7. Internal Speaker: Allows low volume monitoring of patch.
8. S/H: Controls VCOs for random computer like sound, or VCF
for funky effects.
Rate governed by internal clock.
9. Voltage Processors: Functions include sources for positive
or negative voltage (changes pitch of VCOs),
voltage inverters (invert keyboard, envelopes, etc.). Can be used
as audio mixers or attenuators.
10. Noise Generator: Creates sounds of wind, earthquake, surf, steam, bombs, etc.
li. Multiple: Splits signals into four outputs.
12. Ring Modulator: Creates gongs, chimes, or special ethereal sounds.
13. Envelope Follower: Used with external input (mic., guitar).
Produces a voltage proportionate to the
amount of input volume. Good for touch responsive wah-wah.
14. Preamplifier: Boosts low-level external audio signals.
15. Mini "D" Jacks: Allows the performer to override
any prepatched effect.
