• The GOLANA engine gives you two signal paths: MIKROKORG for virtual-analog sounds and BRUTE for a different oscillator and filter structure.
• MIKROKORG offers two oscillators, sync and ring modulation, filter and amp envelopes, LFOs, unison, glide, delay, reverb and modulation effects.
• BRUTE adds ULTRASAW, PWM, metallic triangle wavefolding, a sub and overtone oscillator, Brute Factor feedback and a Steiner-Parker-inspired low-pass, band-pass and high-pass filter.
• The sequencer holds 128 patterns across eight banks, with up to 64 steps in banks A to D and 16 steps in E to H.
• SONG MODE stores 32 songs of up to 64 commands each, and ALBUM MODE holds four playlists of up to 32 songs.
• Song commands OCTAVE, TRANSPOSE, REPEAT, JUMP, ENDSTEP and BEGIN shift pitch and replay step ranges without changing the stored notes.
• During playback the ALGORITHM knob changes tempo, the PRESET knob selects P01 to P32 and OCT− and OCT+ transpose the sequence.
• You hold 32 sound programs in P01 to P32 and write them permanently with SAVE on the FM-1.
