tsjek siel cruise
Keyboard: 4 1/2 octaves, fixed split-point in the middle.
Tone Generation: 2 Synths in one.
Poly Section: Octave Divided DCO.
Seems to have single Filter with Multi-Trig of single ADSR
4 Main Presets: Brass, Strings, Piano, Reed-Likes.
These Presets are divided in 2 or 3 Tone-Color presets,
Mostly high and low, Strings can be percussive, brass can
have resonance (splat).
This gives a total of 10 tone colours, which can be combined
freely. Main drawback: they can not be mixed seperately.
Modifiers: Sort of. There is a small ADSR/Filter section,
Some Presets enable some of them, A/D for Strings, A and
Cutoff for Brass, and so on.
Sound: Gives some mellotronish strings, a fair good piano.
and is a bit slim in its sound.
Mono Section: 1 DCO.
About 15 Presets of waveforms combined with fixed filter/ADSR settings.
These presets can be changed to some general waveforms ( Mostly Saw )
at different pitches ( from 32' to 4' ).
When being in this free mode, the ADSR/FILTER can be accessed
in whole. Filter: No Keybord Tracking, no seperate LFO depth,
no ADSR depth. Very basic. Early resonance gives wierd effects.
There seems to be some low-bit digital control hidden inside.
You can hear steps when moving the slider.
And you can trick the slider by setting it just on the edge
between to steps. Gives great distortion.
Sound: Great. Real Basic, big balls, not very flexible.
Good for bass and lead-lines. NO CV/GATE !
Keyboard:
Can be split in the middle to have MONO/POLY Section on different
keyboard sections. MONO can have Lowest/Highest Note Priority.
The syntcan be modified to have all cominations of keyboard-modes
accessible, ( for example: UPPER - MONO; LOWER - MONO/POLY ).
General:
Totaly performance oriented instrument. Sliders. Flip - Buttons
with little weights under the cover to have fast and exact flips
(this is crazy, you should see this technique realized in a SYNTH )
Every active controll has its on LED, you see what has effect even
on darkest stages ( they light the whole panel ).
It is large, heavy, has the mark of an italian design group on it, has even designed keys.
No memory.

User manual in 5 languages. Good quality. download here.
Service manual is finally online. I had a hard time getting the original A0 size paper into a good readable digital format,
but the result is pretty good. Download it here. Big thanks to Tijmen Bergman for borrowing the original schematics.
