Sound 

SOUND polyphony is organized in 2x8 voices (lower/upper)  that can be used also in split, layer or other Voice Modes assign like Mono, MonoLG, Mono2, Poly, Poly2. 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, width), plus 43 wavetables 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 / dual filter (separation of each 12dB filters) 
 -dual filter: LP > HP, LP > BP, HP > BP, LP + HP, LP + BP, HP + BP, LP + LP, BP + BP, and HP + HP

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

EFFECTS  Analogue distortion , 3 chorus types  Delay with 16 types of delay sync, LP and HP damping, slew and stereo
