The filter section is excellent and subtle, against it has only one low-pass mode with a slope of 24/dB/oct. The bass are a bit of nervousness, leads going very well in a mix, the pads are deep and wide.

The definite plus is the addition of stereo chorus (which is of excellent workmanship and efficient as well) on the pads / strings or leads. It has the analog sound, certainly more than just the synth-based VCO, because here it is a synth-based COD. This synth has a beautiful tone color, the sound is fat, large, pleasant and warm. The keyboard is a little light but can still play fast and accurate. Some essential functions are of course accessible from the front panel: the transposition (in semitones), brightness (to filter factory presets), the speed of the portamento, the speed of the sequencer, the fine tuning (+ / – 440 Hz) or the operating range of pitch bend. The sequencer can be set to 4 or 8 bars with ability to record in mono or polyphonic, and it has 4 memory slots and a switch “reset”. Another detail that differs from most synths today is that the values of some parameters have a range of 0 to 85 (probably due to teething problems of MIDI).Įnvelopes and filter ADSR amplitude points haveĪll parameters can be controlled by MIDI (which was great for a synth of this year), some small jumps occur when transferring MIDI data too many, but it is a recurring problem on many machines of the time, so nothing major. If you want to preserve the original presets, a back-up is needed on K7 (or WAV audio sequencer). Thus it overwrites the original preset being at that location. That said, the major problem with the edition of Project 100 is the fact that if we choose a parameter, which edits it, then it selects another parameter, the previous setting resets to its initial value ( value which was the parameter before editing it), forcing after editing each parameter to save the preset being edited before selecting another parameter number.

#How do use the bank hold on korg poly 800 series#
The Solton Project 100 use could not be easier and programming is done in the same spirit as the Korg Poly 61, Poly-800, JX series of Roland, the series in Crumar Bit and other machines of the same time, it's a bit restrictive but we made it a little more direct controls on the front, however, have been welcome, but this mode of input values parameter number for editing was very fashionable in the mid 80's.
