"6 voices

Can be configured as a six voice polyphonic synthesizer, a bank of six monophonic synthesizers, or any combination (for instance, a three voice polyphonic with three independent monophonic voices). This synthesizer is completely multi-timbal, again in any combination of voices.

Each voice has:
Two VCOs (sawtooth; square; triangle; sine)
A VCF (frequency; resonance; mode*; VCA 1; VCA 2)
FM/Lag generator (lag is portamento)
5 envelope generators
5 LFOs
3 tracking generators
4 ramp generators

All of these things can be controlled and modulated by each other (i.e., an LFO can trigger an envelope generator, etc.). Any voice can be assigned to any MIDI channel, any CV input. Each voice can be assigned to any output.
