We're not drooling, you're drooling!! One of the most sought after and celebrated analog synthesizers of all time. The first polyphonic synth with fully programmable memory. Kraftwerk, The Cars, Radiohead, Tears for Fears, Pink Floyd, etc etc etc. Can these legends be wrong? I submit that they can not! All the punch and warmth you've heard on those records is what you'll get from this unit!
Specs include: Five-voice capable with 120 program sounds to choose from. 2 oscillators per voice with saw, triangle, pulse and square waves. It also contains an LFO, 24db/octave low pass filter, VCA & cv/gate controls. You already know the nerdy stuff.
Let's talk about this particular unit!
The main difference of the Rev 3 compared to earlier iterations are the Curtis chips: The oscillator and filter chips were switched to Curtis Electromusic (CEM3340 and CEM3320), making it significantly more reliable and much less prone to falling out of tune. Additionally the Rev 3 memory was expanded to 120 slots, up from the 40 slots of older versions. And lastly Introduced on the Rev 3.1, this feature allows players to move a knob and have the sound change instantly, paving the way for modern patch memory workflow.
