• Envelopes

  * 2 Independent envelopes

  * ENV 1 normalised to amplitude

  * ADSR

  * + Sustain Fall parameter for shaping during key-down

  * + Repeat which can be used to create looping envelopes

  * Velocity positive and negative control

• Ring modulation

• Mixer

  * First mix: OSC1 and OSC2

  * Second mix: OSCillators and noise

  * Third mix: OSCillators + noise and Ring modulator
