Model 261e
Complex Waveform Generator


The Model 261e Complex Waveform Generator features voltage-controlled modulation of pitch, amplitude, and timbre, and a multi-dimensional, voltage-controlled timbre space. It differs from
the 259e, in that all of the timbre processing is performed by analog circuitry, thus eliminating
the aliasing that can be introduced by
waveshape table driven systems.

A separate modulation oscillator can be synchronized to the principal oscillator or
to note-on MIDI messages. Its waveshape is
voltage controllable, and can be continuously
varied from sine to pulse. The modulation
oscillator can track the pitch of the principal
oscillator with variable offset.

In conjunction with the model 225e MIDI Manager, the 261e's pitches respond to internally routed MIDI messages. Up to four 261's can peacefully co-exist in a single system, each with its private MIDI channel.

As in all 200e series modules, the settings of the 261e's pots and switches can be memorized as a part of a preset configuration. You'll need a 225e
to accomplish this.
