Synthesis-type : |

unlimited number with PCM card, subtractive. (What's ai² ?)
|
Program-arch : |
A "program" (patch) is composed of 1 or 2 PCM elements.
|

?? bits; 44.1 kHz(?); internal ?? bit processing; ?? bit DACs
|
Keyboard : |
61 keys, velocity sensitive, mono AT, light action.

340 multi-samples, many of which are the loop portion of the complete samples.
|
Performances : |

128 + 8 drum sets in ROM, 200 + 4 drum sets in RAM,
200 + 4 drum sets on RAM card
|
Multis : |
("Combis")
200 on internal RAM, 200 on RAM card
|
Polyphony : |
32 PCM generators. In program mode : 32 notes for single
oscillator program ; 16 notes for dual oscillator program.
|
Multitimbral : |
16 parts
|
Note-assign : |
priority to last note, dynamic voice allocation.
A program can be polyphonic, monophonic or drum kit.
Monophonic mode does not have portamento.
|
Filters : |
time-variant ; 1 LPF ?? dB/octave per oscillator no resonance.
|
LFO : |
One pitch LFO, one amplitude LFO and one filter LFO for each oscillator.
|
Envelopes : |
Attack time, attack level, decay time, break point, slope
time, sustain level, release time for amplitude and filter
of each of 2 PCM oscillators
Start level, attack time, attack level, decay time,
release level for pitch (shared by the 2 oscillators with
adjustable bias)
Envelopes can be controlled by velocity and keyboard tracking.
|
Drum-sounds : |
?? samples. One General MIDI compatible ROM kit,
seven alternative ROM kits
four programmable RAM kits.
|
Effects : |
2 stereo programmable effect processors
47 types of effects assignable for each. Real-time controllable.
1 type of serial and 3 types of parallel routings.
|
Sequencer : (X3 only ? ) |
Tracks : |
16 tracks |
Songs : |
10, chainable |
Simult-notes : |
32 oscillators through dynamic voice allocation |
Capacity : |
32 000 events. |
Modes : |
real-time (overwrite or overdub), step, auto and manual
punch-in, loop; records on one or many tracks/channels at
a time; event edit; control change generator; real-time or
track/measure quantization (the latter selectable by event and
with strength and offset parameters).
|
Resolution : |
1/48th or 1/96th of a quarter note. More time signatures with 1/48 resolution.
|
Patterns : |
99. Can be copied or put (linked) to tracks, and copied from tracks.

Display : |
LCD backlighted : 2x16 text area, numeric 3-digit display, many status indicators; no LEDs.
|
Int-controls : |
keyboard
stick: pitch (left/right, center detent, ??? bits) and modulation (up/down, center detent, programmable) (X3r: none of the above
volume
data entry pot (can control effect in patch/combi mode)
