Advanced Use Of KVA Oscillators

Oscillator Specific Control And Modulation Parameters:
Several KVA oscillators also have their own modulation parameters that must be accessed to
control the oscillator's intended function. Below is a list of these oscillators and their distinctive
parameters, grouped by block size. Though the following parameters could be left at one
setting, utilizing one of the DSPCTL or DSPMOD techniques described in the above examples
will expose a wider range of expression from each oscillator.
1 Block:
SINE+ [Aliased (not recommended)]
Same as 2 block version, but without the Sine+Am parameter.
SAW+ [Aliased (not recommended)]
A saw oscillator that can add an input signal to its output.
NOISE+ [Aliased (not recommended)]
A noise oscillator that can add an input signal to its output.

The MISC Page

LeakMode

Selects between different leakage models, determining which leakage harmonics are
emphasized. TypeA provides an overall tone wheel leakage, with all tone wheels leaking a small
amount. TypeR, TypeX, TypeY, and TypeZ emulate different degrees of drawbar leakage, where
the leakage components correspond to the nine drawbars, instead of all the tone wheels.

The OUTPUT Page

Demo Song

The Demo Song parameter allows you to choose the demo song for the current KB3 program.
The demo song is a short, pre‐programmed song that gives you a demonstration of the program
in a musical context. You can play a program's demo song in any page in the Program mode by
pressing the Play/Pause button, and stop the song by pressing the Stop button (both buttons are
located under the MODE buttons on the front panel).
When on the Program mode main page, you can hear a demo song in whatever program you
want by pressing the Play/Pause button with one program selected, and then selecting another
program.
Note: You can also trigger and stop demo songs with a simultaneous double button press of the up and
down cursor buttons.
