If you are familiar with analogue synthesisers, you may like to visualise your S3200XL as a large
and sophisticated modular synth. As you can see, it’s pretty impressive!

Across the top are the controller - the LFOs and envelope generators. Underneath those are
the ‘oscillators’ (i.e. the four keygroup zones), the filters and amplifier. Below that are the
continuous MIDI controllers and below those, the master control section for tuning, output,
etc..
On such a synth, connection between the modules would be made using patch cords but on
the S3200XL, of course, they are made in software using the APM functions.
