Sound

SOUND monotimbric, 8 voice polyphony and each voice is composed by 3 digitally controlled oscillator "NCO – Numerically Controlled Oscillator" or Oxford Oscillator based on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) with digital waveformn Sinewave, triangle, sawtooth, square / pulse (with shaping and width), plus 43 wavetables (with new OS can be drawn too with computer) of 5 waveforms per row.
Oscillators can be put in Linear FM with dedicated routing modulation: 1>2, 2>3, 3>1

FILTER
1 analog OTA filter per voice multimode with 12/24dB slope  Low-pass / band-pass / high-pass

LFO AND ENVELOPE: 1 amp envelope and 2 mod envelopes (ADHSR + looping) + 2 LFO modulators
