-VCF cutoff CV input 
-VCO FM CV input 
-gate input switch between +15V and s-trig modes 
-Trigger (gate) input 
-Trigger (gate) out

Lfo, filter, arpeggiator and envelope

SOUND subtractive all analog with four VCOs based  with 3 shapes: triangle, sawtooth and square wave with variable and modulable pulse width + 1 white noise generator circuit. VCO octave range is 16 ', 8', 4 'and 2' , and each oscillator has indivifual volume control and tune pot (about 50 cents).
OSC SYNC  sync ("Syncro") and cross-modulation ( "X-Modulation") options between the 4 oscillators was one of the most interesting function of the Korg machine. In Syncro and X-mod Single mode, the VCO1 is the master syncing the other 3 VCOs to it . In Double mode, both VCO1 VCO2 are masters, syncing VCO3 to VCO1 and VCO4 to VCO2.
FILTER classic 4 slopes resonant Low pass filter, with key tracking option
ENVELOPE: 2 EGs for VCA and VCF type 4 segments ADSR. Different retrig mode for EG (Single and multimode)
LFO main modulator MG1 is assigned to MOD wheel with triangle and sawtooth shapes and can modulate VCO pitch, filter VCF and pulse width. A second modulator MG2 (only triangle shape) is simpler.
ARPEGGIATOR: Range: 1 oct, 2 oct or full with UP or DOWN or UP / DOWN direction and LATCH mode , sync to Midi clock
