VOICE cult monophonic synthesizer based on subtractive synthesis.
The voice structure is a simpler and portable version of the Moog modular systems with hard-wired signal routings removing previous patch cords systems, especially optimized for live performances.
STRUCTURE: the panel is split in 4main parts:
1 -
VCO oscillators
2 -
VCF filter
3 -
VCA
amplitude
4 - voice mixer.
OSCILLATOR VCO voice is composed by 3 VCO oscillators + 1 noise circuit in the so-called OSCILLATOR BANK :
|
VCO1 |
VCO2 |
VCO3 |
Level mix |

Octaves |
LO 32' 16' 8' 4' 2' |
same as VCO1 |
same as VCO1 |
Waveforms |
tri / saw/ sqr / wide pulse / narrow pulse / saw-tri |
same as VCO1 |
tri / saw/ sqr / wide pulse / narrow pulse / saw reverse |
ENVELOPE EGs :
1- EG VCF: 3-segments ADS + release
2- EG VCA: 3-segments ADS + release.
TECH: a release segment can be added for both VCA and VCF simply pressing the relative tab button, then release segment gets the same value as the decay.
FILTER resonant lowpass at -24 dB/ octave filter with cutoff Frequency and contour amount around the Q point for resonance emphasis.
Extra VCF functions:
1- external process input
2- key tracking with 2 modes.
LFO VCO3 acts as a low frequency modulator "LO" , relative frequency rate is defined by the modulation wheel. The LFO has 2 destinations:
1- VCO pitch
2- VCF cutoff
NOTE: switching VCO3 to LFO mode deactivates the VCF keytrack function.
CV there are 3 inputs for external tension controls at 1V/Oct + 1 gate control:
1-
CV VCA loudness
2-
CV VCF filter
3- CV VCO pitch.
Gate system is a less-commond S-trig, a negative inverted switch trigger variant.
PERFORMANCE:
- Glide function with low priority system, as it does not retrigger the EG during Legato play.
-
EG decay switch with gate mode.
