Hillwood | BS-4355

Description

The Hillwood BS-4355 Synthesizer Bass is a bass pedal synthesizer with an on board synthesizer engine very comparable to the taurus pedals of the same era. The unit can be edited from it's front panel and allows the user to manipulate the sound with a built in controller pedal. 

The foot pedal keyboard has 13 pedals with switches for a 2 octave range. 5 knobs are available for tuning, sustain, expand, tone, volume and power on and off. There are also 5 latching push button switches for OCTAVE LOW and HIGH, SUSTAIN, ATTACK PERCUSSION and MUTE.

Velocity As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. Aftertouch Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel.
Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise.
