NEW ENGLAND DIGITAL

 

Synclavier ll is the first truly portable digital system to offer limitless programmable
control. Lighter than a Mini-Moog, its keyboard unit tucks under one arm. Its computer is
so compact, it fits into an Anvil case less than 20 inches square. Yet Synclavier ll offers
more programmable and real time control than any other synthesizer in the world.

Up to 32 fully programmable voices.

Synclavier ll is available with 8, 16, 24, or 32 voices. On special order, the same size
keyboard that accomodates 8 to 32 voices can be made to control up to 128 voices! And
the control you have over these voices goes beyond anything you've ever experienced. A
unique new partial timbre method of synthe sis allows you to create sounds with unheard
of accuracy. In fact, many of Synclavier lI's sounds are virtually undetectable from real
instruments. Everything from huge
church bells to violin har monics
can be created with lifelike clarity.
But Synclavier ll is by no means
limited to real instru ments. It goes
far beyond the familiar to offer you
an endless universe of new sound
combinations, never before
possible on any synthesizer.

Synclavier ll offers the ultimate in
live perfor mance control.
Synclavier ll offers the most
extensive array of live performance
controllers ever assembled in one
system: two foot pedals, six foot
switches, a ribbon controller, and
an optional velocity sens ing
keyboard!

16 track digital memory recorder.

Synclavier ll is equipped with the largest and most versatile 16 track digital memory
recorder available today. It's so advanced that one third of its standard features cannot be
found on any other system. And, although Synclavier lI's re corder uses memory instead
of tape, it operates much like a 16 track tape recorder. So it's easy to understand, simple
to operate.

Unlimited sound storage.

There's no limit to the number of different sounds and finished 16 track recordings that
can be stored on Synclavier lI's diskettes. When you recall asound from adiskette,
it'salwaystheexact sound you stored. Nothing ever has to be reset. Even after you've
stored a sound, you can recall it, modify it, and restore it, without erasing the original
sound from the diskette.

You don't have to be an expert to use Synclavier ll.

Over 64 sounds have been carefully preprogrammed for you, including over three dozen
real instruments and over two dozen sounds unique to Synclavier ll. Any of these sounds
can be recalled for immediate use with just the push of a button. Once recalled, any sound
can be easily modified into an endless variety of new sounds. Synclavier ll is not only
easy to use, it's easy to set up. The entire Synclavier ll system sets up in the studio or on
stage in minutes. Heavy duty cables connect the computer to the keyboard with easily
attached multi-pin connectors. A spe cial performance table assembles quickly, hold ing
the keyboard unit at the height of a Fender Rhodes. A diskette drive box conveniently at
taches under the front edge of the table for quick loading of diskettes. And once you've set
up Synclavier ll, you can forget about the computer. Synclavier ll is designed so you need
no access to the computer during live performance. All playing and programming
functions are completely controlled from the keyboard unit. Everything you need to
operate Synclavier ll is located within easy reach. Never before has any system made so
much so easily accessible. Never before has any system been capable of creating such
incredibly authentic sounds. Never before has any system offered a full 16 tracks of
recording capability plus unlimited sound storage, and placed it all at your finger tips.
Never before has there been anything like Synclavier ll.
