VOICE Monophonic synthesizer with 3 detunable oscillator VCO each with volume mix. For some strange reasons there are no octaves footages for the VCO, the Frequencies pots cover all the frequency Range from 2Hz to 20KHz.
All VCO have slighty different shapes with different duty pulse and a special red noise for master VCO.
A noise generator (white/pink) and external audio can be added to the mix.
3 detunable VCO
Sawtooth, triangle, pulse wave ( 10 / 25 / 50 %) mixed sawtooth/square wave and ramp.
VCO1 > VCO2 from routing VCO panel
Each VCO can be routed to audio mixer or to FM filter.
Special features:
VCO1: modulates osc2 or osc2/3
VCO2: modulates osc1 or 1/3
VCO3: modulates osc2 or 1/2
Ajustable portamento ,but it can be set only from Midi Control change number#1 from the midi/kenton panel below.
- 24 db slope resonant moog transistor-ladder (Frequency Range 16Hz ~ 16 KHz. ) type low-pass filtering with controls for frequency cutoff,envelope amount, attack, decay/release and sustain. Variable Tracking filter mode.
For some weird reasons, the M3X incorporates a Kenton Pro solo unit (same display and scripts). The Pro solo offers a digital Modulator with 9 shapes: triangle, sawtooth down, pulsewidth 10-20-30-40%, sample and hold, pseudo-random, sawtooth up and square. Of course it can be synched to coming Midi clock.
2 EGS with 3 segments;
- Attack
- Decay / Release
- Sustain
EG2 amplifier adds a switch for RELEASE segment ON/OFF function.
The unit can be played by either Midi or CV interface. Lfo, modulation, hold function and portamento are handled in this section (about 20 settings in the Midi / cv section, explained in the below scripts).
The internal kenton memorizes 1 setup.
No patch memory
- can be pricey
- no analog LFO control
-
-Good sound
- quite rare
