January 28, 1999 -- Electro-Harmonix is proud to reintroduce the Micro Synthesizer for guitar. The Micro Synthesizer lets guitarists reproduce many of the vintage analog sounds generated by the early great Moog™ synthesizers.

The Micro Synthesizer's compact layout of ten slider controls gives the player nuanced control over all aspects of the processed sound. Four completely independent and fully mixable voices-Guitar, Octave Above, Sub-Octave, and Square Wave-are modified by the Resonance, Start Frequency, Stop Frequency, and Rate controls of the Filter Sweep section allowing highly variable frequency adjustments to be made to the signal. The Trigger slider can be used to adjust the sensitivity of the filter circuits and makes it possible to play synthesizer leads against softer, unfiltered chords. The Attack Delay slider determines the time required for the voice signals to reach full volume. The Micro Synthesizer's ability to produce classic analog synthesizer sounds combined with the detailed control it offers guitarists make it an invaluable tool for the sonically adventurous.

The Micro Synthesizer is housed in the traditional Electro-Harmonix trapezoidal brushed-steel chassis, is assembled in the USA and is packaged in a distinctive wooden box. The Micro Synthesizer is on sale now at leading music stores worldwide. Suggested list price is $358.00.
