4070 Floppy Disc System

Overview The 4070 was a luxury addition to the 4060 keyboard, launched in the fall of 1980 at the same time as the Synclavier II digital synthesizer and revised dual manual Prophet 10. If you had expanded the sequencer memory with at least one 4065 option of 16 Kbytes of RAM, you could use the 4070 for the quick storage and recall of polyphonic sequences and programs from the 4060 keyboard. The unit consists of an 8" floppy drive in a white cabinet, with a power supply and interface electronics to the 4060. A ribbon cable attached the keyboard to the disk unit. Each floppy diskette could store six full sequencer memories for a total capacity of 36.000 notes. A CRT interface was also launched with an integral keyboard, for use with the new programs. The 4070 shipped with a new ROM for the 4060 as well as UP1.1 and ten blank diskettes. It cost $3000.



4070 Advert Text Since Eµ Systems introduced the 4060 microprocessor-based 16 channel keyboard/sequencer in 1977, it has represented the state of the art in sophisticated synthesizer controllers. It has been the overwhelming choice of recording studios, universities , and such musicians as Herbie Hancock, Daryl Dragon, Pat Gleeson, and Frank Zappa. Today it stands at the center of the most powerful system of electronic music hardware and software available to the serious synthesist.

The basic keyboard will control 16 independent synthesizer channels with programmable control of keyboard split, glide, transposition, and channel assignment mode. The built-in 16 channel digital memorysequencer allows the creation of multi-channel compositions of up to 6,000 notes in real time - without the need for a multi-track tape recorder. The integral tape interface allows the storage of sequences in digital form on standard audio tape.

Programs from our special function software library add such capabilities as editing and merging polyphonic sequences, redefinition of keyboard tuning, non-realtime sequence generation, and interfacing to video synthesizers.

Our new 4070 floppy disc system allows fast, convenient storage and recall of sequences and special function software. Each 8" disc will hold six full sequencer memories, for a total capacity of 36,000 notes. Also included is a CRT terminal interface for use with forthcoming software.
