Transpose . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[–48...+48]
The Transpose function specifies the pitch produced by the oscillator, in
semitone units.
The range is four octaves upward or downward.
This setting is related to the pitch of the oscillators themselves; this is
not the same as the OCTAVE [UP]/[DOWN] buttons on the front panel
that change the range of notes available on the keyboard.
Detune . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [–50 cent...+50 cent]
The Detune function adjusts the pitch of the oscillator in one-cent steps.
LFO2ModInt (LFO2 Modulation Intensity)
This specifies the depth of vibrato produced by using LFO2 to modulate the
pitch of the timbre.
LFO2&JS+Y (LFO2 & Joystick+Y) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [–2400...+2400]
You can use the joystick to increase or decrease the vibrato.
This specifies the depth of vibrato (in units of cents) that is produced when you
move the joystick all the way forward.
TIP:
The depth of the vibrato that is applied will be this setting added to the LFO2ModInt
setting. When you take your hand off the joystick, the vibrato will be the depth specified
by LFO2ModInt.
BendRange (Pitch Bend Range) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[–12...+12]
This specifies the amount of pitch change (in semitones) that will occur when
you move the joystick in the horizontal direction (X-axis).
This value is the amount of change that will occur when the joystick is moved
all the way in the horizontal direction.
Portamento
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [Off, On]
This will turn Portamento on/off (an effect that creates a smooth change in
pitch from one note to the next).
Off:
Portamento will be off.
On:
Portamento will be on. Use the Porta.Time parameter to specify the
portamento time.
Porta .Time (Portamento Time)
This specifies how portamento will occur (the time over which the pitch change
will occur).
With a setting of "000", there will be no portamento effect. Increasing the value
will lengthen the amount of time it takes for the portamento effect to transition
from one note to the next.
Analog Tune (Analog Tuning) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[000...127]
This parameter adjusts the amount of inconsistency in the pitch of each note
that is played.
This adds a slight randomness to the pitch of each note to simulate the pitch
instability that is typical of an analog synthesizer. Higher settings produce
greater pitch variation.
s13~27: OSC1, OSC2, OSC3 (Oscillator 1, 2, 3)
Oscillators generate the basic waveform.
These settings are made individually for each of the three oscillators in each
timbre.
Type
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [Off, Saw...Mic In]
This selects the oscillator type (the basic structure of the oscillator) and its
waveform (see "Oscillator type and CONTROL 1, 2"). If you select "Off," the
oscillator will make no sound.
Semitone . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[–24...+24]
This specifies the amount of detune (pitch discrepancy) relative to other
oscillators in semitone steps over a range of two octaves upward or downward.
The settings on this page are available if the waveform specified by Type is
ANALOG, DWGS, or PCM.
This setting is not available if Type is set to "Mic In".
TIP:
For example if you want to use oscillator 2 as the overtone structure of oscillator 1, you
can set this to one octave above or a fifth above. If you're using the oscillator to create
harmony, you can set this parameter to a musical third, fourth, or fifth.

This adjusts the amount of detune relative to the other oscillators.
Settings of "±63" correspond to two octaves upward or downward, and "±48"
corresponds to one octave upward or downward. Near the "+00" setting you'll
be able to make fine adjustments to the pitch.
The settings on this page are available if the waveform specified by Type is
ANALOG, DWGS, or PCM.
This setting is not available if Type is set to "Mic In".
CONTROL1, CONTROL2
For each oscillator type, either one or two CONTROL parameters are provided
to control the waveform or character. The last page of each oscillator shows
the name and value of the CONTROL parameters for the Type setting that is
selected.
Some settings may produce noise.
The parameters and available values for CONTROL1 and CONTROL2
will differ depending on the selected Type. You can also refer to the
explanations below when making V.Patch (virtual patch) settings or
assigning Ctrl1 (CONTROL1) or Ctrl2 (CONTROL2) to GLOBAL MIDI
CC#Map.
Oscillator types and CONTROL 1, 2
Single oscillator
Waveform
These oscillator types provide one oscillator that outputs a basic waveform.
You can use the CONTROL1 Waveform parameter to modify the output
waveform in real time.
When using a single oscillator, CONTROL 2 is unavailable.
001: Saw
Outputs a sawtooth wave.
This waveform is suitable for the sounds that are typical of an analog
synthesizer, such as synth bass or synth brass.
CONTROL1: Waveform
A setting of "000" produces a pure sawtooth wave, and a setting of "127"
produces a sawtooth wave one octave higher.
002: Pulse
Outputs a pulse wave.
This waveform is suitable for electronic sounds or wind instruments.
CONTROL1: PulseWidth
A setting of "000" produces a pure square wave, and a setting of "127" will be
nearly inaudible since the pulse width will be minimal.
