The color scheme reminds us of the Oberheim OBX. Here's an overview.... It's a 2 oscillator 6 note polyphonic analog synth that uses CEM chips, the same type inside the most sought after vintage analog polysynths, so there's a similar sound, perhaps with a lesser price tag. There's also an organ section with 4 drawbars to determine volumes of each of 4 octaves. The filter sounds really nice - its got quite a warm sound. The LFO can do FM, wah or tremolo. The LFO section also has adjustable slope and delay, which many similar synths didn't have. There's a button that causes the LFO to automatically do 1 octave square wave pitch modulation, which is a really interesting feature. The oscillator glide can be set to single or multi trigger. There's an oscillator pitch envelope as well. Otherwise, it's got your usual polysynth features. One particular strange feature is the ability for the voices to alternate between square and sawtooth waveforms. I can understand both at the same time, but alternating? Can someone please explain to me why anyone would want this? :)"
