Comments (as published by SSU in their 1992-93 catalogue):

Performances comments (as published by SSU in their booklet joined with the ROM card):

00. JUPITER RISING: spacious analog patch, with animated chorusing. Aftertouch = Pitch Modulation .

01. FORMLAND: punchy formant/clavinet utilizing wavesequencing to step through filtered variations.

02. LOVELY TRUELY: ambient cathedral pipes with ethereal choir echoes. Vector transitions cycle in the background in a harmonic wash.

03. SPLIT A BIGROK: warm synth/gtr comping pad with a tube distortion quality and wavesequencedbackground harmonics.

04. NEW ELECTRIX EP: wavesequenced electric piano. WS cycles in octaves.

05. AT THE STATION: distinctive multi-harmonic attack with a metallic emphasis in lower register which evokes a menacing quality. Upper register yields a nice vector animated pad.

06. YUR HIGHNESS: complex pad with crystalline melodic high range and brooding, harmonic-laden soundtrack quality in low register.

07. CHUNGA RHYTHM: quintessential metalhead rock guitar with a little rhythmic wavesequencing thrown in for good measure. Aftertouch pressure increases distortion "edge".

08. ISHAMs WS: delicate stacked intevals w/crystalline woodwind ensemble-like quality. Background harmonic shimmer. Works well w/chord voicings to create unusual interval stacks. Aftertouch = Pitch Modulation .

09. CHROMES: another crisp synth/clav comp patch. Aftertouch pressure gives nice tonal variation, and velocity dynamic range is very wide.

10. VS ORGAN: ambient organ with vector cycle overtones.

11. PINGER STEP: metallic attack w/rhythmic WS sustain. Low register adds extra synth for fat bottom.

12. SLOW VOICESTEP: elven choir/bell hybrid with animation WS'd overtones. Great for textural pads and delicate melody lines.

13. REZDOWN BRASS: cutting, high 'Q' synth brass with echo.

14. STRINGERS WORLD: hyper strings, with pronounced bow attack and vectored octave emphasis.

15. ISLANDERS: pulsating Caribbean robo-tech! Try different registers.

16. SUPERPHAZE CLAV: thick synth/clav with aftertouch induced oscillating filter sweeps.

17. BLOW WIND: ethereal chime/recorder attack echoes with wisp-like "breathing" undertones, evolving into a gentle crescendo, then subsiding to soft subtone pad.

18. REZRIZE ORCHEST: concert hall strings with cycled format layer.

19. SAMPLE WORLD: analog sawtooth w/WS high octaves.

20. REAL ORGAN: processed B3 with lots o'balls!.

21. GLASS RUNNER: percussive glass attack transients w/syncopated WS accompaniment.

22. TUBULARIZE: rich processed bells with pealing background harmonic wash.

23. DEPECHE PULSE: darkly rich synth texture characteristic of popular techno Angst-oids.

24. SLOWJURNE: complex evolving patch which works best in a stark musical context. Plenty of timbral nuance which contrasts nicely in minimalist musical settings.

25. WAVESTEP STUFF: more wavesequence soundscapes.

26. EMM ULATIONS: low register has a woody plucked pizzicato and an understated choir sustain. Upper register retains vocal elements, adding a complex bell attack and an undulating timbral transition.

27. Q SONG: resonant, high Q synth sweep with interesting wavesequence animation in high harmonics.

28. FRIPPs VS ROOM: glassy bell attack with high harmonic vector sheen.

29. AMALOG SPLIT: fat, cutting analog bass and "mutating" synth lead in R.H. which mutates into high feedback-like harmonics.

30. INHARMLAN: a sonic curtain of shifting overtones and smooth wavesequence tonal transitions.

31. TOUCHREZRESPONZ: quasi MiniMoog-thru-a-Marshall sound with filter resonance.

32. SAXY WAVE: distinctive sax waveform w/compressed, punchy attack.  Compression & warm chorusing make this a fat, effective comping patch.

33. SPECTER STEP: Terminatoresque wavesequence dissipates into a subtle, soft pad.

34. JUNGLE WAVE: primitive drums pulse over a whispering background ambience.

35. FULL OF IT!: complex melodic voice with multi-octave components. JS varies high frequency presence.

36. MARSCAPE: soundtrack material! Evocative timbral swirls and swells.

37. BAD DIGITISM: wavesequence rhythms superimposed over a resonant synth E.Piano.

38. RHYTHM & MELODY: fat synth bass with wavesequenced perc. in the R.H. Aftertouch = Pitch Modulation

39. LOW SKY SAW: (not mentioned into the booklet)

40. RHYTHM ICK!: a "Twin Peaks-esque" synth guitar with wavesequenced percussion overlay.

41. 5th OF CYCLES: shimmering vector timbres in stacked consonant intervals. Aftertouch = Pitch Modulation

42. INTERNAL RIFFT: biting analog synth in overdrive with waveseq. rhythms. Low register has a resonant formant with a vocal quality.

43. WIND MACHINE: airy transients weave in and out in sinuous web of vector evolutions.

44. PURPLE HAZED: heavy 60's power-rock guitar filtered through sonic orange sunshine!

45. MANIC WAVESQNC: wiresynth with active interplay of overtones in wavesequence overlay.

46. ISLAND DELAYS: cascading waveseq rhythms interact with effects delay to create a complex wash of polyrhythms.

47. VOICETIME SUS 7: atmospheric vocal and harp timbres with arpeggiated waveseq. sheen.

48. PLAY  IN THYME?: timbral split at F4. R.H. is effective for gtr-like leads. L.H. yields a rounded bass texture.

49. MONOMONSTER LED.: hugely fat lead with sweeping harmonic emphasis.
