Korg X-911

Monophonic guitar synthesizer (1979)

"monophonic guitar synthesizer with some preset"

Overview

Overview compact box in line of the MS synth family (e.g ms20) the unit features 16 knobs and 12 colorated pads. Released as a guitar synth, the x911 does not require special interface for tracking conversion like esaphonic (it's mono), as it includes a Pitch-to-Voltage Converter circuit (derived from Korg ms03 technology) and quite any kind of line signal will just fit. It unit can be used as a special sound processor, that's wide it's quite enjoyed by synth freaks.

TERMINAL CONNECTORS 1/2
1- signal input (impedance on the main panel with -20 / -35 / -50 dB
2- dry out
3- footswitch input for switch tracking on-off
4- footswitch input for portamento on-off
5- footswith input for hold sound VCA on-off
6-footswitch input for sound bypass
7-audio output

TERMINAL CONNECTORS 2/2
8- FM IN controls the pitch by external CV using 1V/Oct
9- TRIG OUT outputs the tracked peak in +5V pulse
10- CV OUT Hz/V outputs the note voltage (not 1V/oct)
11- SYNTHE VCF IN controls the filter cutoff by external CV
12- TRIG IN trigger from external synth or sequencer
12- CV IN Hz/V controls the pitch by external CV in Hz/V

Sound

SOUND is derived from the synthesizer Korg Sigma features 2 distinctive parts:
- 6 Instrument preset patches: Electric Bass, Tuba, Trumpet, Dist. Guitar, Violin and Flute that can be summed, each sound has a parameter edit, generally the TONE (filter brillance), but the Violin which has ATTACK time.
- SYNTHE sound can be shaped using 5 summable shapes each with a tonal control:
PWM16' : pulse with attack time
PWM16' : pulse with decay time
SAWTOOTH8' : control on VCF cutoff
RECTANGLE8': control on the filter EG attack time
RECTANGLE4': control onthe decay time
Some various sound parameters like balancing WET/DRY, distortion, portamento, pitch tuning
