"From what I've worked out the thing has 6 VCOs with various features, 3
VCA, Noise/S+H, 3EGs with toggles for speed, 2 filters: one is Low pass or band pass with subtle cutoff slope and doesn't self oscillate with reso at max the other is a multimode but without Resonance. It also has a 3 input sum mixer, VC Reverb, VC Echo - with 3 separate echo return times and controls. VC Vowel Filter - Bloody Lovely, Equalizer, inverter Divider, Counter clock. It has a two manual keyboard each with a joystick and the cabinet has two separate keyboard control sections as well as a basic CPU ? There seems to be an input for 'GUIT' guitar ? and a din input marked 'Micro 15'
Patches are made on a 60 x 60 patch matrix and there are ten output faders as destinations on the row E - 5 for Left and 5 for Right -
The most unusual thing and the thing I haven't sussed out yet is the functions of the Sequencer: Its a 3 x 10 analogue sequencer. rows A+B are clocked together but row C can travel at any subdivision of the upper rows clock speed. As you'll see in Picture 3 on the link, at the far right of the cabinet are 4 groups of 4 controls - each group has a Left and Right control and two dials above - - in picture 4 you'll see another 10x10 patch matrix which has something to do with the 10 stages of the the sequencer and L+R outputs of each of these groups of four dial named GC,CY, CC,B and 58 - putting a patch pin into column 4 row 1 produces a beep clocked every time the sequencer passes stage 4 but altering the the voltage on that stage of the sequencer has no effect on the beep. One of the unknown controls above the L+R of GC alters the gate time of the beep - the other seems to alter the pitch - I have no idea what this is for. Row CY has a multi-step dial and toggles .. . ?"
