The first in a new series of midi PERF/X by Oberheim, the Cyclone is a full featured midi arpeggiation device. Arpeggiation modes include: As recorded, Fixed, All (chord/cluster), Proportional, and random. The order of notes played include forward, backward, back for forward, forward then back, up (note # order), down, up then down, down then up, and random notes. Rhythms can be as played, pulsed, tuplet, live single, or poly trigger. The Cyclone can separate pitches from rhythms allowing effects like recording a rhythm and using that rhythm to arpeggiate notes from the keyboard, including chords and rests. Timing can be internal (& tap tempo), external triggers or midi clock. Arpeggiations can be transposed and doubled as well. There are 16 memory locations + 16 available on RAM carts. Many more features!

The Drummer PerF/X s a midi module for creating drum patterns, rhythms and fills for drum machines or midi tone generators. With over 10,000 different rhythm possibilities, the Drummer has just about everything needed to expand drum programming. In addition, there is a built in sequencer which will allow new patterns to be recorded. In addition, there is an interactive mode called 'Jam' which will follow the tempo set by midi in data (from a keyboard or drum trigger). Features include randomized drum fills, 16 programmable drum kits, 100 presets (pattern and rhythm), song mode (preset chain), programmable fills in song mode, sysex for storage of patterns and songs, 4 foot switch inputs (start; break; add percussion; fill-in), programmable tempo and time signature.
