1. Introduction

1.1 Welcome to Saurus Analog Synthesizer

Congratulations on purchasing Tone2's Saurus Analog Synthesizer.
Saurus is a brand new synthesizer that uses true analogue modeling. Some of the circuits
from classic synthesizers were examined, analyzed and modeled into Saurus to bring the
best sonic quality of a past age brought forward in a digital one.
Saurus pairs two oscillators with two sub-oscillators employing both standard waveforms
and more exotic waveforms modeled after the classic units examined.
Combine this with a powerful filter section, an extensive modulation system in the form of
LFO's, Envelopes and a modulation matrix, all routed into a high quality effects section
giving Saurus an incredible array of sonic possibilities at your fingertips.
