This is no ordinary analog monosynth - the Obie One has that Moog analog sound but features programmable memory locations where you can store your own sounds! How does it sound? FAT! There are 2 oscillators but each has a suboctave which really fattens things up. It's just as good for sound effects as it is for musical / tonal sounds. The features are listed below:
3 octaves
8 programmable memory locations
VCO 1
frequency
waveform (sweepable)
fine tune
waveform select
modulation knob w switch for freq or wave mod
outputs = volume for fundamental AND SUBOCTAVE
Cross-modulation!
VCO 2
frequency
waveform (sweepable)
fine tune
waveform select
modulation knob w switch for freq or wave mod
outputs = volume for fundamental AND SUBOCTAVE
LFO/envelope modulation select
VCF
frequency
resonance
fine tune
2 pole or 4 pole!
LFO / ENV modulation with knob
keyboard tracking switch
Noise on off
VCF Envelope (ADSR)
VCA Envelope (ADSR)
LFO - sine, square, s/h (random)
rate
delay
keyboard portamento
env reset
transpose
VCF
bender - vco 2 only, or both. narrow broad or mod
audio out low and hi
cv in out
gate in out
vcf cv in
