VOICE main CPU MC68EC020FG handles 64 voices polyphony.
Each voice is composed by a maxium of 3 PCM samples (1 voice per sample) out of a 211 wavetable which is organized into 14 categories, including famous "transwave" synthesizer sounds.
Sample can be played with delay, backward, with start point.
