What I do like is the memory from the entire panel is stored in each
oscillator bank and then arranged based on mix 1 parameters....this is
where multi timbral was born....instead of 1 memory for an overall
sound, you had 2 overall sounds mixed...
giving that 16 presets of 1 and 16 presets of II...for a total of 256
preset combinations....Strangely the Footage positions were also stored
except for panel which was the realtime knob location on the
panel.....you then could subdivide into splits (lower/upper=2/4 or
4/2)thus having 4 presets running (2 up 2 down)Although channel AT was
the touch control,there were 3 pedal switch inputs and 3 controller
pedal inputs.....My CS80 Control pedal worked perfectly in there and I
could attach it to the brilliance etc.....Another thing was Channel one
stored modulation features for oscillator bank 2 in whether control
affected both banks or not.......And then there was the preset booklet
of magnetic strips where you could offload your presets and call in new
ones.......
