System 100m-184 Service Notes for the keyboard - Matrixsynth writes:
"This is the largest and most specified of the 100M keyboards. Although there are the same number of keys as the 181, i.e. 49 keys 4-octaves, the action is definitely an improvement on the other models. It has all the features of the 181 keyboard except for the 6 pin DIN socket. Power is via a captive mains lead, & not from the rack. It does have a number of useful additions over the 181. There is an arpeggiator with a rate control and hold, and four push buttons for selecting Up, Down, Up&Down, or Random modes. Plus an arpeggiator clock input on the rear for connecting to a drum machine or sequencer trigger output. There are 4 assign mode buttons for selecting two Unison (monophonic) modes and two Poly (4 voice) modes of playing. Next to these buttons is a hold (sustain) switch. The bender also has a pitch bend sensitivity knob. The Pitch Bend lever affects the notes played, and also has a dedicated CV output. The return to zero spring-loaded lever is very accurate and I find it much easier to use than the Doepfer Joystick, for example. The transpose switch only has two positions on this model, normal and 1 octave down. There is a knob for portamento which can be switched in or out. Along the rear of the keyboard are 4 CV and 5 Gate outputs. The fifth gate socket is a combined output of gates 1-4. and all the outputs are duplicated on mini and standard jack sockets which can be used simultaneously.
