Information

1) Six separately articulated voices offer full polyphonic playing. 2) Two Digital-Controlled Oscillators (DCO) per voice provide rich, thick 'detuned' sounds and parallel interval effects. The us« of DCOs ensures outstanding pitch stability. 3) Digital Access Control system provides digital pushbutton control over each program parameter using the large, easy-to-read 6-digit display. The Poly-6Ps D.A.C. system results in highly accurate sound recall, repeatability and excellent playability, with a minimum front panel "duller". 4) 64 different programs with fingertip access. Full editing capabilities allow programs to be edited temporarily or permanently. Programs may be rearranged into any desired performance order. 5) Eight-second Tape Interface allows many sets of programs lo be rapidly Saved and Loaded from a tape, creating an infinite "Sound Library’*, The large "prompting" alphanumeric display gives complete information about tape operations. Operation is so fast and easy that all 64 programs can be changed live between songs. 6) Program Up input jack lets you change programs in sequence without taking your hands off the Keyboard. This jack accepts "switch triggers" from a foots witch or other external sources. 7) Chord Memory lets you play parallel harmonies using only one key, and also provides thick Unison soloing and Bass sounds. Hold mode provides continuous sound after you take your hands off the Keyboard. 8) Full-function Arpeggiator with Latch mode memorizes and sequences both notes and chords, and can be synchronized with an external sequencer or rhythm machine. 9) Release Pedal input jack allows the programmed Release time to be extended using a convenient footswitch, for natural "sustaining" effects.
