Key Features

Oscillator Section

Oscillator models of multiple waveforms (traditional analog, extended analog, pulse waveforms, real-time algorithmical waveforms with additive-, FM- and formant- synthesis)
OSC config knob 11 categories (Pitch, Shape, Osc Sync, Noise Mix, Osc 2 Detune, Sine Mix, Tri Mix, Saw Mix, Square Mix, Freq Modulation, Amp Modulation)

Filter Section

Multi-mode filter with 12 dB (2-pole) low pass, 24 dB (4-pole) lowpass and band pass, high pass, Ladder M and Ladder TB characteristics.
Cut off, Resonance, envelope amount, envelope amount controlled by velocity.
ADR/ASR envelope
Filter keyboard tracking can be set to off, 1/3, 2/3 or full.
Adjustable Filter Distortion

Modulation Section

LFO generates a triangle, square, sawtooth, inverted sawtooth or sample and hold waveforms. LFO can be routed to Filter Frequency and Osc mod. The LFO rate can be synchronized to the Master Clock.
LFO can be switched to polyphonic Env mode with four different characteristics and sample and hold is manually triggered by keyboard (polyphonic S/H).
Arpeggiator: Range: 1 - 4 octave. Modes: up, down, up/down and random. The Arpeggio rate can be synchronized to the Master Clock.
ADR/ASR envelope, velocity control on/off, inverse envelope on/off

Effects

Delay section with tap tempo, four stages of feedback, stereo ping-pong, dry/wet mix. The Delay speed can be synchronized to the Master Clock.
FX section with Flanger, Phaser, Ring Modulation, Chorus, Ensemble and Drive.
Reverb section with five algorithms (Room, Stage 1, Stage 2, Hall 1, Hall 2)
