format)
.Four oscillators in total: two analog, two
digital
Analog Oscillator waveshape are Sawtooth,
Triangle, Saw-Triangle, and Pulse (with voltage-controlled analog
Pulse-Width modulation)
Digital Oscillators select from 96 wavetables
from the Prophet-VS (128 words x 12 bits), and 32 user-loadable
(via MIDI) Wavetables (128 words x 16 bits). The Digital Oscillators
get trashy as the frequency gets higher, as with the original
VS.
Hard Sync on the analog oscillators
FM and Ring Mod on the digital oscillators
Separate Glide per oscillator, with two glide
modes
Real voltage-controlled Curtis analog lowpass
filters - not digital recreations. 4-pole/2-pole switchable,
fully resonant (in 4-pole mode). There are two separate filters,
one for the left channel and one for the right for a true stereo
signal path.
Analog Voltage Controlled Amplifiers (VCA),
again one for each channel.
Dual digital 4-pole Highpass filters (one
per channel); place before or after analog electronics.
Stereo audio inputs; Noise generator
Envelope Follower and Peak Detect from External
Input to use as modulation sources
External Input can be used to gate envelopes
and/or step the Sequencer
Three snappy ADSR envelopes
Four LFOs (sync with sequencer and MIDI)
Dual (left and right channel) tunable feedback
loops; modulate frequency and amount
Delay with 3 taps; each with separate time
and amount modulation. Syncs to sequencer/MIDI. Normal feedback
and additional feedback path through analog filters
Distortion! Digital, one for each channel,
can be placed before or after analog electronics
16 x 4 Analog-style sequencer - syncs with
MIDI
Extensive Modulation capabilities, including
audio-range modulation. Bipolar (+/-) modulation.
