Some Informations
  • The machine has 32 presets patches and 32 storable patches.
  • There is a wonderful 128 step sequencer built in, which allows overdubbing and limited editing. The sequencer can be clocked by an external trigger.
  • Storage to other Media is done over a tape interface. You can store either the patch data or the sequencers content.
  • MIDI is available for NoteON/NoteOFF, Program change, bender, modulation wheel, Hold - no SysEx, no MIDI-Clock; the Sequencer does NOT send to MIDI.
