Next Generation of System series
Posted: 02:58, 2 December 2017
Things from the forum and additional things
System/12 or System/16
[1] 5 octave keybed
[2] Fatar keybed (like on the DSI OB/P6/Rev2)
[3] Well documented MIDI sysex patch dumps specification (individual patch and banks) for each
different device, see [5]
[4] Firmware/plugout loading via MIDI sysex
[5] Each plugout controllable via a seperate USB MIDI device (4 USB MIDI devices on 1 USB connector)
= different MIDI sysex implementation per device
[6] Total 12 to 16 voices
[7] 3 True OSCs
[8] Aftertouch
[9] 4 LFO's, 4 ADSR per part
[10] 4 parts multi-timbral
[11] 4 seperate plugouts can run in parallel
[12] 2 individual stereo audio outs or 4 Balanced
[13] Build in 90-240V, 50/60Hz international Power supply
[14] Metal casing
[15] CV in and outs
[16] USB host connector to connect SD or other storage device
[17] Class compliant USB 2.0 Audio and MIDI mode (no OS drivers)
[18] HP/LP filter switchable in parallel/series
[19] More Modulation Routings
[20] Decouple the sequencer from the voice playing
[21] MPE & MPE split mode (random & assign fixed MIDI channel number per note)
(In MPE mode only 1 part can be used) when using external MIDI device (only)
[22] Assignable fixed number of Unison voices per part
[23] Assignable maximum/reserved number of voices per part
[24] Polyphony for legacy plugouts
4 voices for System-100/Promars/SH-2/Sh-101 plugouts, Boutique SH-01A already is 4 voice !)
[25] JX3/8P, MKS-50, Jupiter 4/6, Aplha-Juno plugouts
[26] Remove Vocoder/Sequencer for hardware cost savings
[27] keep the DIN MIDI Interface (each part on separate channel)
[28] VSTs and standalone full editor + librarian
[29] Can load System-1 patches and plugout
[30] Reduce cost for System-100/Promars/SH-2/Sh-101 plugouts
[31] Put Soundbanks on Axial
[32] Additional waves on the OSC (or loadable waveforms)
System/4m or System-8/m
[1] 2 or 4 parts multi-timbral.
[2] 4 or 8 voices per part
[3] All existing plugouts assignable 1 to 4 voice per part
[4] Same form factor as system-1m (Eurorack)
[5] Can be used as an expander for the System/12 to add 4 or 8 voices.
