Strummer VERSION 3.1 7/9/91 3:14

- The StrummerTM is the first of the new generation of the Oberheim
Peri/X, Performance EXpansion" MIDI modules.

- The Strummer takes MIDI notes and chords that are played on a
keyboard and changes them into the way they would be played on a
guitar. You have control over all settings. You set strum rate and
direction, lead enhancement, chord vorcing, and arpeggiation
patterns and 28 other parameters.

0 The Strummer has 96 presets including 64 permanently in ROM from
the factory and 32 user presets in RAM for your custom programs.

0 The Strummer can record short phrases or "riffs" and play them back
when triggered from the keyboard. You select a "trigger key", play the
rift and then press stop. If you press the "trigger key" again at the end,
the rift is looped and starts vamping (repeating) until stop is pressed.
These"'riffs" are stored globally and can be used at any time from any
preset.

- The Strummer has dynamic MIDI control over a number of its
parameters. Strum speed can be varied by velocity as can the
number of notes used in a chord. You can even program chords "on
the fly" using "Chord Capture". Once a chord is 'captured' it is held
globally until a new one is captured.

- The Strummer fully supports System Exclusive allowing external
storage and remote editing of Strummer programs.
