"Bored with your synthesizer because it doesn't have enough options? well this thing should keep your entertained for a long long time! The S-110F is packed with all kinds of options...2 VCO's, Ring Modulator, White AND Pink Noise, High AND Low Pass Filter plus a unique 8 band filter bank, Sample and Hold, Strange never before seen touch sensitive Mod pads, Vibrato, Portamento ...and the LFO can modulate the VCO, VCF, and trigger the EGs.

The modulation options are great with routing available from the LFO to the filter cutoff and each oscilator's pitch. The lfo has two main waveform settings, one is a sweepable width pulse, the other a Saw wave that can be continuously swept from a saw through triangle to a ramp. The lfo can also be used to repeatedly trigger one of the two ADSR envelopes. This effectively means that you can create your own LFO shape.

The oscilator routing on this synth is as versatile as on a modular synth. It has 3 oscilators that can be mixed together via the mixer section. One of these is switchable between White or Pink noise or to the ring modulation between the two main oscilators. The pitched oscilators are either Saw, triangle or sweapble width pulse. One osilator can be routed to the other to give analogue FM sounds or alternatively the modulating oscilator can be set a low frequency to give another LFO.

Their is a great choice of filtering on the S110F. The resonant Low Pass filter, A high pass filter and a Filter bank. This does not have the same effect as the conventional filters that synth users are used to but instead is more like a graphic equaliser allowing you to adjust specific frequencies. The filtered signal can then be mixed with the unfiltered to alter and "dirty" the overall tone.

This thing creates some wild sounds that modular fans and avant-garde electronic musicians will definitely fall in love with, but of course it can do all the fat basses and zippy leads that everyone loves old analog synths for so much.

The Japanese Voltage has been modified to US."
