Teisco is a long-established Japanese musical instrument manufacturer that has been around since the 1940s. During the global electric guitar boom of the 1960s, the company gained fame as one of the leading domestic guitar manufacturers. 

n the electronic musical instrument division, we formed a business alliance with Kawai Musical Instruments Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Kawai), which was known for developing electronic organs in the 1960s, and later changed the brand name of Kawai's electronic musical instrument division to synthesizer.

This award is now given to products such as electronic organs.

S-110F specifications

The basic configuration is a "2-voice analog synth" with 2VCO → 1VCF → 1VCA → 2EG. It also has noise and ring modulators (→VCO I/II). The number of keys is 37, but the transpose function covers the range equivalent to 61 keys. You can also apply portamento (with a 3-stage mode selector).

 

 

Each section is neatly divided into blocks, and the panel also has triangular arrow-shaped LEDs that light up to indicate the flow of signals. Additionally, at the top of the panel, the amount of change in modulation depth and filter bank level is displayed with an LED meter, and I think it can be said that the overall operation is very easy to understand.

Equipped with 8-point filter bank

Equipped with an "8-point fixed filter bank" for the first time in its class to create the formants (→tone habits) unique to natural instruments. These are the eight knobs at the top right of the panel.

 

 

This is like a bandpass filter fixed on each frequency of 250, 350, 500, 700, 1K, 1.4K, 2K, and 2.8KHz, and is used to reproduce the complex sounds and nuances unique to acoustic instruments. It seems that it is a function of.

 

 

 When you think of a (low-pass) filter, you get the impression that it cuts the filter completely, whether it's 24dB/oct or 12dB/oct, but it seems like it can create subtle tones depending on the frequency band. It should be noted that, unlike a typical graphic equalizer, the frequencies at each point are concentrated in the band that is most sensitive to human hearing.

Unique “touch sensitive modulation”

The "TOUCH SENSITIVE MOD." section on the left side of the keyboard is equipped with three fingerboards (finger controllers). Each fingerboard has two positions (6 positions in total), and by pressing them while playing, you can perform the following operations.

・VIB (vibrato) and WOW WOW (wah)

・VCF up/down

・VCO up/down

 

There is no pitch bend or modulation wheel on this unit, but instead you can use this sensor-equipped controller to control vibrato/wah, VCF cutoff frequency, and VCOI/II pitch with your finger. hey. It would be interesting to use it live, such as the guitar-like bending technique.
