• 2 LFOs with separate Rate controls as well as a Master Rate control
• 2 Voltage Controlled Filters- The main filter is of the 24dB/Octave
  Self-Oscillating Transistor Ladder type and the second, ‘Utility’
  Filter is a 12dB/Octave State Variable type that features Low pass,
  High Pass, Band Pass and Notch responses.
• 2 ADSR Envelope Generators for sweeping the Filters, Oscillators,
  Panning etc- yes, there is Voltage Controlled Panning on the Output
  Stage!- and Spring Line Reverberation! The ADSR EGs feature 3 different
  timing ranges- Short, Normal and Long Ring Modulator for creating all
  sorts of clangorous tones and timbres
