into jacks labelled
,,Pedals,,
underneath.
No
mjstake
can
be made between "Volume" and
"Filter,,jacks
because
of different
sizes.
The synthesizer
can be operated
without the
pedals being connected
-
you
nerely lose the control over
the
tl,lo functions.

Voices
are labelled
,,Osc

"0sc

out".
The
signals are low-level, high-impedance.
Any microphone
or
gujtar-type
input
will
provide
sufficient amplification.
The
audio
system
should
have
tllleeters to
reproduce
the
high frequencies being
generated by
the
synthesizer.
d.
"VCF
Filter
ln"
allows external signals
to
be processed through
the
Dynamjc
Filter.
other
audio sources such as organs,
guitars,
microphones
or electric
pianos can be
passed
through
the
filter
for
special
effects.
If
some
sources
are too low
jn
level to
produce
the desired
effects,
a small battery-operated
preamp
module can
be jnserted
just
before
the
VCF
Input.
Several
companies manufacture such modules
for
use
wjth gujtars.
For the best performance, two separate audio
systems should
be
used
for
Left
and
Rjght audio
outputs.
However,
if
t!,lo
are
not
available,
both
Left
and
Rjght
can
be,,mixed,,into
one
ampljfjer
having
a
two-channel
input.
For your convenience, both
oscillators
can be independently panned
left
or
right
from
the
front of
the
instrument
itself,
to
a true stereo
output.

N0TE:
DSP Usage
a.
The Harmonic
Synthesizer can scale
to
use
a great deal
of
resources
in
terms
of
sample
rate
and polyphony.
For best
results
tve
recomend
setting the
mjnjmum
values
durjng
sonq
construction,
untjl
you
need
to
render
your
track,
when
you can
turn the
values
up.
b.
Polyphony
can be extended from
1up to
64
voices.
The more
voices you
add
the
more
DSp
t.liill
be required
for live
playback. Set
this
fjgure to the
lowest value
yo!
need.
Remember
that
polyphony
allocation
includes voices
ifl
release as
well
as key
on.
c.
I/]hen
using a
system
sanple
rate
of
44.1
or
4BkHz,
adjust the,,oversample,,to 2x
for
nonnal
use,
or turn
it
to
the
"off"
position
if
needing
to
save more system
resources.
you
lliill
notice
some
aliasing
lrlten
turned
off,
but
much
less
at
2x
;
this
will
be
further
reduced
if
selecting
4x oversampljng, and
will
not
be noticeable
when
selecting
Bx oversampling,
Usjng Bx oversampling
will
dramatically
increase osp use,
but
is
the best
quality,
so
select
Bx
prior to
exporting your
finjshed
song
to
give you the best
quality
on your
rendered
output.
Consider
"2x"
as
the
live/draft
setting, ,,8x,,as,,export,,setting.
d. If
using high
system sample
rates,
88.2
or
96kHz, oversampljng can
still
be
of
benefjt.
However, we
recomend exporting
at
96kHz
rate
even when
using a
system sample
rate
of
44.1
or
4BkHz
to
get the highest
sound
quality,
and downsample
that
exported *.wav
later.
e.
The "oversample"
control state
is
not
saved
wjth
patches, but
is
saved
withjn
song-fjles.
