 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 from Mod Envelope and/or LFO 1
• Pulse width modulation from Mod Envelope and/or 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 (re-triggers 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)

Step Sequencer/Arpeggiator Arpeggiator

• Up to 32 different patterns
• Select between 1-4 octave range
• Swing function
• Select direction:
  • up
  • down
  • up / down 1

  • 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
