The upper level is the timbre composed by a single tone that has some editable parameters: volume, detune and vibrato LFO.  Finally 6 timbres make a patch for performance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWAVETABLE  4 Pure rompler synth: 3MB ROM (6X 512 kb ROM) is organized in 2 sound groups:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e- acoustic samples eg: piano, bell, guitar, string, organ, brass [...] \u003cbr\u003e\n- precalculated basic waveforms eg: pulse, sawtooth and generated harmonics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCARD EXPANSION   The ROM can be expanded using special PCM cards, also compatible with:  Here's the list of available models:\u003cbr\u003e\nSN-U110-01 : Pipe Organs \u0026amp; Harpsichords\u003cbr\u003e\nSN-U110-02  :Latin and FX Percussion\u003cbr\u003e\nSN-U110-03 :Ethnic\u003cbr\u003e\nSN-U110-04 : Electric Grand and Clavi\u003cbr\u003e\nSN-U110-05 : Orchestral Strings\u003cbr\u003e\nSN-U110-06 : Orchestral Winds\u003cbr\u003e\nSN-U110-07 : Electric Guitar\u003cbr\u003e\nSN-U110-08 : Synthesizer\u003cbr\u003e\nSN-U110-09 : Guitar and Keyboards\u003cbr\u003e\nSN-U110-10 : Rock Drums INFO\u003cbr\u003e\nSN-U110-11 : Sound Effects\u003cbr\u003e\nSN-U110-12 : Sax \u0026amp; Trombone\u003cbr\u003e\nSN-U110-13 : Super Strings\u003cbr\u003e\nSN-U110-14 : Super Ac Guitar\u003cbr\u003e\nSN-U110-15 : Super Brass\u003cbr\u003e\n\u0026gt;Also third part cards from   Musitronics   Akkordeon (ID: 25 \/  Analog Synthesizer \/  Voices (ID: 22) \/  Eldek (ID: 21)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eU220 Parameters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eENVELOPE   a single 4-stages amplitude EG.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLFO   modulates only the amplitude with variable depth, delay time and 9 shapes: triangle, sinewave, square, saw up, saw down, trill (x2) and random (x2).   Special AUTOBEND function is a basic modulation for a pitch-warp effect, so it should be considered as another simpler LFO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEFFECTS  there are 2 main FX sections with limited edit parameters:\u003cbr\u003e\n- reverb: 9 presets including hall, delay, room and gate \u003cbr\u003e\n- chorus: 5 presets including chorus, flanger and delay. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMEMORY   64 patches +  64 performances  +  4 rhythm sets.
