- Four waveforms, Pulse Width, Osc Sync, Sub Osc.
- Precision control using high quality multi-turn vernier dials.
- Sample and Hold Generator.

Note! VCOs can be used as LFOs. So Colossus has in fact a potential total of 14 LFOs! Each of the eight VCFs have VCAs hard wired inline, so these plus the individual VCAs means there are in fact a total of 12 VCAs!

The circuit was originally based on the Oberheim SEM - though we have
done some heavy modifications. But ‘Oberheim SEM’ gives you an idea of
