Three Separate Oscillator
Systems.
Three separately tunable and modulated
polyphonic Oscillator systems combine to
produce an unprecedented richness of
sound which no other available
can provide. Most other Ensemble-type
instruments utilize only a single oscillator
system.

Through the use of the optional Korg

control voltage source), the performer can
vary separately the volume of the "Percus-

user to, for example, control Strings sepa-
rately from the Piano sounds, or any other
