It's only obvious if you sustain a note with a rich waveform (the high ovestones are what gives it away). Not perceptible at all in short, percussive patches or those that have dynamic change (the latter masks the pitch jitter). cuari7 --- In 200e@yahoogroups.com, "Stewart Morone

Another nice feature about it is that even when the mod oscillator is on track mode, it can still be detuned relative to the main osc, giving you a niced, chorused fat sound. Very nice, indeed!!

I think it's pretty unlikely Don would design and build a single space system interface for the 200e. Keep in mind an original 227 occupies four spaces. It's pretty remarkable for Don to have squeezed it down into 2 spaces for the 227e to begin with. Personally I think of the 12
