The

RACK is a digital programmable synthesizer
module

The
secret
of
the ER

isbased on
the
use
of
a digitally
control
-
led

of
generating nine voices.

expand
the
internal

A
32

use
of
the various functions,
di
splaying all
the
parameters

thereby
ma
king
the
use
of
t

much
easier.
Of extreme importance
in
live playing are the PERFORMANCE
REGISTRATIONS which,
by
means
of
the
16

allow
the
memorizin

as
we

as
the

of
all the playing facilities
(WHEEL.

Thanks
to
MULTISPlrT,It
is possibleto divide
the
keyboard
into
eight
sections,
each
with
it'
s
own
different
timbre
and
MIDI

This
permitsthe connection
of
the
ER33
to
a mutti·tract<

real

DCG
(DIGITAL
SOUND
GENERATOR)
Before
going
on
to
the
actual editing
of
the
sounds, (EDIT),
we
feel that
it
would be a
good
idea
to
explain, very briefly,
the
sound genef"ation system
of
th
is instrument.
that
is
the
DCG
(Digital
Cont
rol Generator).
The
OCG
is a sound generator using digitaltechniques and
con
·
trolled
by
paramete~
which make possible
the
variation
of
the
harmonic sound spectrum..
All existi
ng
sounds are
composed
of
harmon
ics
which
corre-
spond
to
mathemat
ic
equations (Fourier's analysis).
Modifying the volume,
the
phase
andthe frequency
of
eachhar-
monic,
you
cango froma puresound, like
that

,
to

The objective
of
the
DCG
is
that
of bei
ng
able
to
modifythehar-
moniccontentof
the
waveformgeneratedwith
the
useof various
parameters
.
The
OCG
is
composed
of
two
groups, each containing
four

:
