Key Features
NEWLY DEVELOPED MULTI-ENGINE: The newly developed multi engine is provided as VCO3, adding digital waveforms and FM. This multi engine, which is equipped with three different sound engines, can be combined with the analog VCOs to expand prologueÕs sonic potential far beyond that of a traditional analog synthesizer.
NOISE GENERATOR: There are four types of noise generator, indispensable for percussive sounds or sound effects. Experience how digital filtering can produce direct changes in the color of the noise.
VPM OSCILLATOR: The VPM (Variable Phase Modulation) / FM oscillator features metallic and sharp sounds with their complex overtones could never be obtained by analog means. With 16 types of oscillator and the SHAPE knob, youÕll be intuitively guided through complex sound design.
DIGITIAL EFFECTS: With two effect units provided (a modulation effect and delay/reverb), you can choose from a wide variety such as chorus or ensemble, warm tape delay, or diverse reverbs. The user effect slots let you load effect programs of your own creation.
EVERYTHING IN ONE BOX: Bundle includes Adjustable Stand, Sustain Pedal, and Austin Bazaar Polishing Cloth.
