video upload by VSMI - Vintage Synths Made in Italy

"Keytek CTS 2000 - 'Cross Table Sample Synthesizer' Made in Italy (1987) ex-Siel
play with Enso Looper and FAC Alteza reverb - feat. Godwin DrumMaker32.
'Keytek CTS 2000 use an advanced signal processing technique, Cross Table Sampling. Going beyond sampling, CTS starts with a digitally recorded signal and uses external digital signal processing to modify and compress the original sample. The data is then put into wave tables. Keytek CTS instruments can read from two tables, or cross tables. This gives you all the sounds in the wave tables plus all the sounds from combinations of wave tables. Post sample processing, combined with a powerful resynthesis method using cross tables, allows Keytek CTS instruments to store a complete library of sounds in the space normally required for one sample.'

'Features of the CTS-2000
61 key [C to C] Velocity sensitive keyboard
6 voice with 2 signal sources per voice
320 wavetables in ROM for instant recall
Analog signal processing on each voice, VCF and VCA each with a 7 stage envelope generator 8 data entry sliders and full alpha/numeric display for one of the most interactive, user friendly, editing systems found on a synthesizer
■'Polytimbric' up to 5 zones of 1 octave each
■ 48 user programmable presets in internal memory
External data cartridges
Full MIDI implementation, each zone completely assignable Stereo outputs, with 5 different panpots on every preset.

Keytek was started over 10 years ago by a group of engineers who believed the only way to succeed was to build high quality instruments. Since 1976, Keytek engineers have concen- trated on designs for real world musicians using sophisticated electronics to provide instruments that are reliable, serviceble and affordable.'
