Tom Oberheim is proud to reissue the classic SEM monophonic analog synthesizer expander module. The return of huge, juicy analog synth tone at an affordable price!
Originally released in 1974, the SEM is one of the classic discrete analog synths, with a huge, three-dimensional "fat" tone that must be heard to be believed. Tom's reissue cuts no corners- the circuitry is almost identical to original units. The only component changes were made due to unavailable parts, but the great tone has not been affected. No digital voice circuits, or thin-sounding analog "voice chips" here- only genuine hi-fi fat analog goodness.
This version includes a precise MIDI to CV version for use with all standard MIDI gear and allows MIDI control of pitch and gate. It also includes an "auxilary CV" which allows a user-selectable parameter with multilple destinations to be controlled via MIDI (see full MIDI specs below).
Specifications:
Single-Voice Monophonic Analog Synthesizer
Two oscillators, each with sawtooth and variable-pulse wave, pulse width and frequency modulation amount, ext envelope and LFO modulation select switches
Oscillator sync
12db/oct multimode filter with continuously variable lowpass, bandpass, and highpass modes, ext envelope and LFO modulation select switches.
Filter input mixer with continuously variable saw to pulse wave mix for each oscillator and external input amount for processing external sources.
