J6

• J6 turns the FM-1 into a six-voice polysynth after the JUNO-60, playable from the 27-key touch keyboard.
• Each voice has one oscillator mixing saw, pulse, sub square and noise through a resonant low-pass filter that self-oscillates.
• A shared ADSR, an LFO with delay and a stereo chorus with four settings shape the sound.
• Play in Poly, Unison with spread or Solo, with portamento, hold and an arpeggiator running up, down or up-down over one to three octaves.
• Record up to 16 steps with rests using REC, then loop them with SEQ at the tempo set on the GLO page.
• Four knobs edit whatever the current page shows, and pressing a page button again flips to its second half.
• Over USB it takes notes, velocity, pitch bend, pressure, sustain and program change, and LINK lets one FM-1 drive another.
