EXi: AL-1 Analog Synthesizer

AL-1 Overview

The AL-1 is Korg's most full-featured virtual analog
synthesizer to date. It's played from within EXi
Programs, so you can layer it with any other EXi–or
layer two AL-1s together. Its features include:
• Two ultra-low-aliasing oscillators, based on new,
proprietary technology
• Sub oscillator, colored noise generator, and live
audio input; FM, sync, and ring modulation
• Dual multi-mode resonant filters, including Korg's
new Multi Filter
• Drive and Low Boost, for adding per-voice grit,
girth and distortion
• Four per-voice LFOs, five re-triggerable envelopes,
and a per-voice step sequencer

Unsupported EXi Common parameters
The AL-1 supports all of the EXi Common parameters,
except for two of the voice allocation options: Poly
Legato and Mono Mode (Normal/Use Legato Offset).
Both of these options are designed for sample
playback, and so they don't apply to the AL-1.
All of the other voice allocation options are fully
supported, including Mono, Mono Legato, Unison, etc.
