From the designer of the SFX peripherals for the Commodore 64, came this curious little box the Personal Media Composer (PMC) 100. It’s got a Yamaha two-operator FM chip, a membrane keyboard (flat, but not capacitive like the EDP Wasp) and its most striking feature, the built-in cassette deck. This allowed you to save your compositions as either sound or data, or it could function as a Walkman or dictaphone.The main voice is monophonic, with simple preset accompaniment rhythms (with 15 options for the rhythm’s voice) controlled by the ‘Gling’ safe-note system. There are 100 preset melody voices, but there’s also a surprising amount of useable sound effects and slow, evolving (but moving in very obvious digital steps) pads. It’s charming in its own incredibly lo-fi way.Polyphony – 1 playable voice, 3 non-playable accompaniment voicesOscillators – Two FM operators per voiceWaveforms – 100 preset main waveforms, 15 preset accompaniment waveformsLFO – Preset operator modulationFilter – NoneEnvelope – Preset volume envelopeEffects – NoneSequencer – Complex programmable sequencerPatterns – 13 accompaniment rhythms, each with one of four accompaniment voice patternsSongs – Three preset demo tracksKeyboard – 25-key membrane buttonsMemory – One internal sequence / cassette data storage
