SPECIFICATION

Brief Overview:

Leipzig is a self contained TRUE analogue synthesiser. The voice circuitry is entirely 

analogue, using all discrete and op-amp components. There is no voice DSP.

Leipzig has a similar sound and specification to the classic Moog Prodigy / Rogue 

synthesisers, but with many improvements such as MIDI and more modulation paths. 

VCO1

Tune, Glide, PW , PWM, Mod Source & Amount controls, Saw out, Pulse out

VCO2

Tune, Glide , Sync, PWM, Mod Source & Amount controls, Saw out, Pulse out

VCF

Low pass filter: Cut-off, Emphasis, Key Track, ENV1 Mod, Mod Source & Amount 

controls

Mixer

Audio source mixer, including external audio inputs

VCA

Mode switch, Output volume

ENV1

ASR envelope with trigger LED

ENV2

ASR envelope with trigger LED

LFO

Square & Triangle waves

Noise Generator

White noise

SUB oscillators

-1 from VCO1
-2 from VCO2

MIDI to CV Converter

16 bit high resolution with auxiliary controller CV2 output (modulation CV)

Many modulation possibilities.

Rotary controls:

25

Rotary switches:

6
