TRANSCENDENT POLYSYNTH Expandable Polyphonic Synthesizer By brilliant design work and the use of high technology components the Polysynth brings to the reach of the home constructor a machine whose versatility and range of sounds is matched only by ready built equipment costing thousands of pounds. Designed by synthesizer expert Tim Orr and featured as a consteuctional article in Electronies Today International, this latest addition to the famous Transcendent family is @ 4 octave (transposable over 7/4 octaves) polyphonic synthesizer with internally up to 4 vaices making it possible to play simultaneously up to 4 note: Whereas conventional synthesizers handle only one at a time. The basic instrument is supplied with 1 voice and up to 3 more may be plugged in, A further 4 voices may be added by connecting to an expander unit, the metalwork and woodwork of which is designed for side by side matching with the main instrument. Each voice is a complete synthesizer in itself with 2 VCOs, 2 ADSRs, a VCA and a VCF (requiring only contro! voltages and a power supply, the voice boards are also suitable for modular systems). One of these voices is automatically allocated to a key as it is operated. There are separate tuning contrals for each VCO of each voice. Alll other controls are common to all the voices for ease of contral and to ensure consistency between the voices, Although using very advanced electronics the kit is mechanically very simple with minimal wiring, most of which is with ribbon cable connectors. All controls are PCB mounted and the voice boards fit with PCB mounted plugs and sockets. The kit includes fully finished metalwork, solid teak cabinet, professional quality components (resistors 2% metal oxide or metal film of 0.5% and 0.1%) nuts, bolts, etc Kit weight (boxed) 16.5Kgm ‘The metalwork of this kit is over the size limit of the Post Office.
