Synth Engine

Oscillators

• Osc 1
• Osc 2
• Sub Osc (3)
• Noise generator

Osc 1 & 2

•  
• Select between waveforms:
• Sine
• Triangle
• sawtooth
• Square/Variable Pulse Width

Features

•  
• Sync 1 & 2
• Detune
• Octave range
• Pitch bend
• Pitch modulation to Mod Envelope and LFO 1
• Pulse width modulation to Mod Envelope and LFO 2

Sub Osc (3) which is tracked to Osc 1

• Select independently between waveforms:
• Sine
• Square
• Narrow pulse

Features

• All modulation and tuning tracked to Osc 1
• Independent octave select

Mixer

• Osc 1 level
• Osc 2 level
• Sub Osc level
• Noise generator level
• Ring modulation depth
• External signal level

Filter

• Two filter types
• Acid type (diode ladder filter design)
• Classic type (derived from original Bass Station)
• Features
• Cutoff
• Resonance
• Overdrive
• Filter frequency to Mod Envelope depth
• Filter frequency to LFO 2 depth
• Select 'Classic' filter between:
• Low pass
• Band pass
• High pass
• 12dB slope
• 24dB slope

Envelopes

• Two ADSR Envelopes (Attack/Decay/Sustain/Release)
• Amp Envelope
• Mod Envelope
• Combined control of both Envelopes
• Select triggering mode between:
• Single trigger (holds envelope state when new note is played)
• Multi trigger (retriggers with every new note played)
• Autoglide (engages portamento)
• There is also a VCA limiter

LFO

• Two LFOs each selectable between:
• Triangle
• Sawtooth
• Square
• Sample and hold
• Both LFOs independently adjustable between rate and delay time
• Key sync LFO 1 & 2
• LFO slew on LFO 1& 2 (low pass filter on the LFO waveform)

Effects

• Distortion send
• Oscillator filter mod amount (FM effect created by Oscillator 2 modulating filter freq)

Arpegiattor

• Up to 32 different patterns
• Select between 1-4 octave range
• Swing function
• Select direction:
• Up
• Down
• Up/Down 1
• Up/Down 2
• As played
• Random
• Latch (hold the arpeggiator)

Step Sequencer

• Up to four sequences
• Assign one of 32 preset rhythms or create your own
• Insert rests or legato (slide)
• Sequencer re-trigger function

Portamento

• Adjust glide time
• Single trigger or re-trigger modes
• Integrate into step sequencer and arpeggiator

Hardware & Controller Assignment

• 25 note synth-action keyboard
• Aftertouch can be assigned to modulate:
• Filter frequency
• LFO 1 to Osc pitch
• Osc 2 speed
• Pitch wheel
• Modulation wheel can be assigned to:
• LFO 2 to filter frequency
• LFO 1 to Osc pitch
• Osc 2 pitch
• Octave up/down buttons
• 64 factory presets
• 64 slots for user patches (and patch dump facility for storing more)
• Master volume dial
