Pitch - Synth/Vocoder - Korg Synthesizer/Vocoder microKORG Owner's Manual

2. PITCH
These settings specify the pitch of the oscillator.
Use "TRANSPOSE" (knob 1) and "TUNE" (knob 2) to set the desired pitch. These settings are shared by oscillators 1 and 2. In this section you
can also set the portamento time, and specify how the PITCH and MOD wheels will affect the pitch.
TRANSPOSE [-24...24] TUNE
Adjusts the pitch of the oscillator in Adjusts the pitch of the oscillator in
semitone (100 cent) steps. one-cent steps.
The range is two octaves upward or
downward.
Changes made by the front
panel OCTAVE SHIFT buttons
actually shift the pitches as-
signed to the keyboard (or keys)
in one-octave steps, and do not
affect the pitch of the oscillator
that is sounding. Nor are such
settings saved by the Write op-
eration. If you wish to change
the pitch of the oscillator itself,
you must use this "TRANS-
POSE" setting to specify the
pitch.

[-50...50] PORTAMENTO [0...127]
Specifies the speed of the
portamento effect (a smooth change
in pitch from one note to the next
note of a different pitch).
With a setting of 0, there will be no
portamento effect. Increasing this
value will cause the pitch change to
occur over a longer time.
If "VOICE ASSIGN" is set to
Mono or Unison, and if "Trigger"
is set to Single, portamento will
not apply to the first-sounded
note.

The LFO2 modulates the pitch of
the oscillator, raising and lower-
ing it to create vibrato.
