4.1 VOICE CIRCUITS
There are eight analog voice circuits. All voices have an identical sample playback engine, overdrive circuit,
and multimode filter. The percussion sound generators are not identical. Each is designed to generate a
specific class of analog drum sounds.
4.2 ABOUT MACHINES
There are several MACHINES available for each voice circuit. A MACHINE is a set of synthesis parameters
that control a percussion sound generator to act like a certain drum model. Dierent MACHINES are soft-
ware tailored to generate dierent kinds of bass drums, hi-hats, et cetera - and to provide the parameters
most apt for each particular MACHINE. For more information, please see “8.2 MACHINES” on page 22.
