This E-mu Modular System can be thought of a three separate analog synthesizers.On each row you will find a Keyboard driven VCO, one VCF or more, a VCA, and extra goodies. There are also four envelopes which means there is an extra envelope for modulation. Combine all three into the 4 input stereo mixer and stereo reverb module to make massive sounds.What is convenient about the E-mu Modular is that you can select Keyboard 1 to drive the modules with a switch on the module itself, so pre wired patching for basic keyboard CV and Gate control. Even the 3 Low Pass Filters have switches for keyboard control.Adding a MIDI to CV connected to Keyboard 2 you can switch between MIDI control or the keyboard control by just switching the switches on each oscillator and Envelope.to hear sounds go here E-mu Modular Sounds |
