A single-
VCO monophonic synthesizer with a 37-note
keyboard. Pretty much a stripped down version of the
Odyssey. It was produced from
1975 to
1981.
There is one
LFO with
sine modulation to
VCF/
PulseWidth and sine/
square mod to
oscillator pitch. An
ADSR envelope generator with
sample&hold for
pitch/
VCF is included. The VCF is a low-pass filter with
resonance,
cutoff and key tracking.
With a thinner sound compared to the
Odyssey, no
patch memory and otherwise
limited potential, the only really
positive thing about the Axxe was the
cheap price.
