6. Apply vibrato to the voice.
Press KNOB PARAMETER GROUP switch [VCO1] and
press CONTROL knob 8 to display the Pmod Depth
(Pitch Modulation Depth) parameter in the LCD. Turn
the knob to set a value near "+20". This applies the
vibrato effect to the voice when you play.
Next, let's set up the vibrato to be applied by the
[MODULATION] wheel, in order to control the amount
of vibrato as you play. Change the Pmod Depth setting
back to "0".
We'll use one of the 16 sets in the Control Matrix to
assign the VCO1 Pitch Modulation Depth parameter to
the [MODULATION] wheel.
Set the [EDIT ROTARY] switch to the VOICE SCENE
SETUP menu.
• Press Set No [UP/DOWN] to display "Set 1" in the
LCD.
• Press Param [UP/DOWN] to display "VCO1
PmodDp" in the LCD.
• Press Source [UP/DOWN] to display "A.MW" in the
LCD.
You can also assign a Control Change number to the Source, by which to control
NOTE
the Parameter. In this case the Control Change number must match the setting in
the UTILITY SETUP menu's Control Device and Control Number.
You can control the vibrato of the VCO1 by moving the
[MODULATION] wheel. To further define the range of
vibrato control, press Depth [UP/DOWN] to set a
value of "Dp+20".
7. Apply reverberation to the sound.
Set the [EDIT ROTARY] switch to the VOICE COMMON
menu, then press Dly/Rev EF Param [UP/DOWN] to
display "Rev Return" in the LCD. Press Data
[UP/DOWN] to set a value of about "30".
There are many other parameters you may
want to adjust to get just the right sound you
want. When you're finished with the editing
process, perform a Voice Store operation to
store your creation. For information, see page
98.
Synth Lead
First let's create the fundamental sound...
1. Select a voice that you don't mind writing
over.
Perform a Type 1 (Normal) Voice Initialize operation.
2. Set up the Sync Algorithm for a slow
movement of the sound.
Press KNOB PARAMETER GROUP switch [SYNC/FM].
• Turn CONTROL knob 1 and set the Algorithm
parameter to "Sync+FMbth", which enables the sync
and applies FM to both master and slave oscillators
of VCO1.
NOTE Other settings (except for "only FM") will also produce effective results.
• Turn CONTROL knob 2 and set the Sync Pitch
parameter to a value of about "+10".
• Turn CONTROL knob 3 and set the Sync Pitch Depth
parameter to a value of about "+20".
• Turn CONTROL knob 4 and set the Pitch Source to
"LFO1".
3. Slow down the speed of the LFO1.
Press KNOB PARAMETER GROUP switch [PEG/LFO],
then press CONTROL knob 6 once to display the LFO1
Speed parameter in the LCD. Turn the knob to set a
value of about "8".
4. Change the LFO1 wave.
Press CONTROL knob 5 once to display the LFO1
Wave parameter in the LCD. Turn the knob to select
"sine ", which shifts the entire wave above the 0 line.
This creates a more typical synth lead sound.
Next let's tweak a few parameters to add extra
depth and dimension to the sound...
5. Set up the sound for portamento play.
In the [PEG/LFO] group, press CONTROL knob 4 to
display the Port (Portamento) Time parameter in the
LCD. Turn the knob to set a value of about "60".
If "– – –" is flashing alternately with the Port Time value in the LCD, this means
NOTE
the portamento is turned off. To turn the portamento on, press the
[PORTAMENTO] switch once.
6. Set up the Synth Lead sound for legato play.
Set the [EDIT ROTARY] switch to the VOICE SCENE
SETUP menu and press Poly [UP/DOWN] to set the
Poly mode to "legat" (legato). Playing the keyboard
produces only a monophonic note, and you can slur
the lead notes into each other.
