"A brief overview:

The multi waveform oscillators feature cross modulation which can also be controlled from env 1. The VCOs can be modulated by LFO 1 and env 1. The pulse width modulation can be controlled by env 1, LFO 1 or the keyboard. The oscillators can be synced in either direction: 1 to 2 or 2 to 1.

The filter is low and high pass with a choice of either env 1 or env 2 (both invertable). Separate controls for the HPF, LFO 1 and key follow.

The MKS-80 responds to velocity which can modulate both of the envelopes times and levels.

The unit can retain sixty-four patches in memory, which can be layered or split with tuning offsets and key ranges and stored in one of the sixty-four patch locations.

An additional 128 patches and tones can be stored on the M64C RAM cartridge.

The MKS-80 has four voice modes: Poly 1, Poly 2, Unison 1, and Unison 2. Poly 2 operates in unison until more than two keys are pressed, and which time it reverts to normal poly mode. This is great for leads, retaining the mono unison sound but permitting overlapping notes and a chord here and there.

In split mode you can use as 2 separate synths via the 2 XLR outputs.

You also get great midi spec and sysex implementation"
