MEM - Magic Echo Music PALette Semi Modular Synth

via this auction
"PALettes have been played live by electronic and noise musicians around the world and are built to satisfy the sonic palettes of modular synth lovers and experimenters. If you are looking to get analog sounds, a unique filter that can also distort and get dirty, with a large option of CV controls on board, as well as external jacks to interface with other CV/Gate synths, this is for you.
The PALette synthesizer has two oscillators with individual and linked CV inputs, ramp, saw and square with pulse width modulation, a hard sync and a master tune control that is switchable on/off. Fine tuners make easier for playing octaves with both oscillators, and there are switches that route the LFO, two envelopes, and Sample and Hold to either oscillators. Both are callibrated to play 1V/octave with other CV, V/oct keyboards.

PINK noise and WHITE noise, Audio Input processed through the VCF.
The Sample and Hold takes external sample sources as well as on board LFO and Envelopes. The VCF is a state variable (Band Pass and Low Pass) filter based on the 13700 OTAs, designed to self oscillate at full resonance and is also callibrated to play 1V/Octave so you get your smooth bassy synth lines. There is a CV input on/off switch that routes the input to the filter from the CV input jack. This allows you to sync your CV input to the oscillators.

The Envelope Generators are routed to the oscillators, filter, and VCA by a switch and also take gate inputs. The two Gate inputs are synced so you can trigger them both, or use a dummy plug to disconnect the two. Attack and Release Envelopes will also re-trigger with the Loop switch (in trigger mode), and also can be triggered by the manual switch. Each Envelope Generator can also be triggered by the other, and will ping-pong after each Release cycle until you switch the function to "off".
