Technical Specifications
KEYBOARD: 31/2 octave Pratt Read
keyboard with Second Touch and gold
plated contacts. Pitch bend + a third, filter
sweep, vibrato, Mod. Osc. applied to filter
(wah).
Any combination may be selected.
Portamento variable from 0 to 2 seconds per
octave (may be selected by optional
footswitch or controlled from optional pedal).
SOURCES: A Master oscillator generates 13
pitches at semitone intervals. Pitches are
selected by indicator push buttons. Any
combination of semitones may be selected
within the octave.
Accuracy of pitch interval: 1.2 cents
maximum (approximately = 1/100 of a
semitone). Octave select: ± 1 octave with
precision digital divider. Root pitch wave
continuously variable with
j j j| /i /m ([} ru
and intermediate waveshapes available.
Pulse waveshape is modulated from 50% to
10% duty cycle by filter envelope for
increased brightness. Remaining 12 pitch
sources are bright 30% duty cycle pulses.
Frequency range without vibrato 44Hz —
4186Hz. Vibrato amount — adjustable up to
±2 octaves. Noise: white, selected by
indicating push button.
MODIFIERS: Voltage Controlled Filter. State
variable filter continuously variable from low
pass thru band pass and high pass modes.
Frequency range 44Hz (F,) thru 12000Hz, or
12KHz (Gg). Inputs: (1) filter envelope 0 to
+ 5 octave sweep. (2) modulation oscillator 0
to ±3 octaves.
Ring modulator— Digital with modulation
pitch tracking a 5th above root pitch. Other
timbres may be selected by using other than
root pitch source.
CONTROLLERS: Envelopes - 1 for filter, 1
for voltage controlled amplifier, each with
attack, decay and sustain controls. Attack:
.005 to 3 sec. Decay: .002 to 9 sec.
Modulation Oscillator: Variable rate from .15
cycles/second to 50 cycles/second. 5 switch
selected waveshapes r^ /\ ru
plus sampled triangle and sampled
sawtooth .•'•. w Light emitting diode
indicates rate.
CARD READER: 40 bits with gold plated
contacts. Rated for 100,000 card insertions.
CARD PROGRAMMABLE CAPABILITIES:

Output volume.
Output: High and low outputs of 4 and .4
volts nominal range suitable for driving
standard music and hi-fi amplifiers.
WARM-UP: 3ft minutes at norfl
temperatures.
POTS AND SWITCHES: All potentiometers ;
are Allen Bradley and are sealed against
contaminents. Allen Bradley pots are rated at
100,000 rotations and become quieter with
use. All switch contacts are gold and silver . /
plated (excludes power switch).
SIZE:29"x17"x8"
WEIGHT: 26 lbs.
POWER REQUIREMENTS: 10 watts
