A
duophonic analog synthesizer with a 44-
note keyboard. Can be viewed as two
MiniKorgs as one
unit. Released in
1976.
The MaxiKorg features two sections (upper/lower), both with 2
VCOs. VCO1 has a range of 2'-64' and is
switchable between
triangle,
square,
saw and
pulse waveforms, with a "
chorus" mode and a
noise generator (
pink on
upper,
white on
lower). VCO2 only features the
sawtooth waveform, has the range of 2'-32' and can be set to
ring modulation.
Both
high- and
low-pass VCFs are available. They are resonant, but unfortunately the
resonance can only be controlled by a 3-stage
switch.
The
VCA is strangely split into several sections and includes a "
bender"
function for interesting
effects. 2
ADSR envelope generators are available.
Other features include 2
LFOs (one for the
vibrato and one for applying a
pulse to settings between the two sections), a
ring modulator and the ability to
stack all 4 VCOs into a
thick monophonic sound.
No
patch memory nor
MIDI support is included.
