It uses three boards, one Teensy 4.0 that handles the heavy computing (sound generation), and two Arduino Mega (chinese copies in a small form factor), that are used as "port expander", which read keys, switches and potentiometers and send their value on change to the Teensy.

### Oscillators ### Oscillators
Oscillators have each six waveforms to choose from, six requency range (or octave transposition) and osc. 2 & 3 can be detuned by +- 1 octave regarding the base note. Osc.3 can be disconnected from the keyboard control, and used as a drone.

### Filter ### Filter
The filter is (I believe) close from the minimoog one. Cutoff frequency and emphasis (resonance) are available. Their is an associated envelope generator that modulates the cutoff frequency. Their is also an addition compared to the minimoog : there is a knob to slide continuously from low pass to band pass, to high pass filter. It can also slide continuously from low pass to high pass, thus resulting in a band stop filter at mid-course. (see _functions_ above) The filter is (I believe) close from the minimoog one.

There are two envelope generators : one for the filter, the other for the global sound shape. On the original minimoog, decay can be used (_via_ a switch) to add release to notes. On this one a knob is there for, so this is a classic ADSR envelope. There are two envelope generators : one for the filter, the other for the global sound shape.

The modulation can be applied to oscillators and or filter, and is controlled by the modulation wheel. Four modulation sources can be used, and mix together. osc.3 or filter envelope can be mixed to noise or LFO.
