S3000Xl Synthesiser Panel - Akai CD3000XL Operator's Manual

If you are familiar with analogue synthesisers, you may like to visualise your CD3000XL as a
large and sophisticated modular synth. As you can see, it's pretty impressive!

Across the top are the controller - the LFOs and envelope generators. Underneath those are
the 'oscillators' (i.e. the four keygroup zones), the filters and amplifier. Below that are the
continuous MIDI controllers and below those, the master control section for tuning, output,
etc..
On such a synth, connection between the modules would be made using patch cords but on
the CD3000XL, of course, they are made in software using the APM functions.
Some of the 'modules' shown above would only be relevant with the IB- 304F installed.
