The most cutting edge hybrid synthesizer on the market and defines what a modern polyphonic synthesizer is. OSCILLATORS: Five DSP-based oscillators per voice (including one sine wave sub oscillator); Four classic wave shapes (saw, square, triangle, sine) per oscillator; Twelve selectable complex shapes per oscillator; Three noise types per oscillator: white, pink, violet; Analog VCAs; Shape modulation; Oscillator cross modulation: frequency modulation (FM) and amplitude modulation (AM); Hard sync on each of the four oscillators. CHARACTER EFFECTS: Five high-quality digital effects. Thicken the signal and add harmonics or completely destroy the signal pre-filter; Girth and Air are high and low shelf equalizers with harmonic excitement. Useful for thickening and/or adding air to the signal.; Hack and Decimate are sample and bit rate reduction algorithms which can add subtle grit or completely destroy the signal. It’s harsh yet musical!; Drive is a soft saturator for adding soft distortion and harmonic content to the signal. FILTERS: Famed Curtis 2- or 4-pole resonant analog low-pass filter (self oscillates in 4-pole mode) per voice; 2-pole resonant analog high-pass filter per voice. FEEDBACK AND DELAY: Tuned feedback; Four-tap syncable multi delay with feedback and amount per delay per voice. ENVELOPES: Four Delay + ADSR envelopes (LPF, VCA , and two Auxiliary envelopes); Auxiliary envelopes 3 and 4 freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations; All envelopes can repeat/loop. LFOS: Four syncable LFO’s with phase offset and slew per LFO. MODULATION: 16 x 2 modulation matrix with 26 mod sources and 97 mod destinations; Modulation assignment buttons enable quick and easy modulation routing. ARPEGGIATOR: Sophisticated programmable arpeggiator with up, down, up+down, random, assign modes; Re-latching arpeggiator. PROGRAMMABLE DISTORTION: Independent programmable stereo analog distortion per layer. CONTROLS: 12 knobs and 34 buttons enable deep and comprehensive editing with little to no menu diving.; Crisp OLED display is easily visible in low light situations and from many angles. MEMORY: 396 user and 396 factory programs; Direct program access using numeric keypad and dedicated User, Factory, and Bank buttons. IN/OUT: 1 MIDI In, 1 MIDI out, and 1 MIDI Thru port; USB port for bidirectional MIDI communication; 1 Sustain/footswitch input; 2 expression pedal inputs; Main stereo output (2 x 1/4″ phone jack); Layer B stereo output (2 x 1/4″ phone jack); Headphone out (stereo 1/4″ phone jack). PHYSICAL SPECS: Oiled walnut wood end panels; 41.9 cm x 17.3 cm x 7.2 cm ; 2.21 kg.
