Keytek | CTS-5000R

Description

The Keytek CTS 5000R sound module is 19 inch rack mountable version of the Keytek 5000 synthesizer keyboard. It features 8 bit compressed sound samples and the same wavetable synthesizer engine as it's sibling the CTS 5000. There are common on board keyboard sounds like piano, bass, rhodes, clavinet and more. The sounds are based on wave tables stored in 8 bit format. The sound is very similar to the Roland D-50 synthesizer of the same era however it is a wave table based synthesizer where you get one wave table per voice.The unit operates in stereo and also has velocity response.

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.
