o Monophonic Pitch 1 and 2: Routes the dry signal through the Monophonic Pitch
shifting module. The Monophonic Pitch Shifter applies pitch-shifting effects to single
note lines (a.k.a. "not chords"). Use the Interval pull-down menu to select an interval
up or down three octaves. Selecting the Harmony option from the Interval pull-down
menu allows for intelligent harmonization – choose the key and scale in the Harmony
block.
o Saw 1 & 2: A true Saw Wave Oscillator synthesizer Voice. The Saw wave offers a
bright and buzzy synth tone rich in harmonic content. All of the synth Voices can be
run with any Interval or Interval Mode. They can also be used with the Sequencers.
o Sine 1 & 2: The simplest of the wave shape oscillators. Sine wave oscillators create a
very pure synthesizer tone with no additional harmonic content or buzzing
characteristics.
o Square 1 & 2: Another bright oscillator wave shape. The Square Wave Oscillator
eliminating all the even order harmonics, which gives it its characteristic "hollow"
synthesizer tone.
o Mono Input 1 & 2: Routes dry mono input signals to the envelope and distortion
blocks.
•
Envelope Pull-Down Menu: Chooses whether the Voice's amplitude modulation is controlled
by Envelope 1, Envelope 2, or bypassed (Envelope Off).
•
Octave Pull-Down Menu: Applies an octave-shifting effect to any of the Saw, Sine, and Saw
Wave Oscillators or the Polyphonic and Monophonic Pitch Shifting Voices. Choose from
intervals up or down three octaves.
•
Semitone Pull-Down Menu: Adds additional semitones to the octave selected from the
Octave Pull-Down menu. Each semitone = a ½ step pitch shift.
•
Interval Mode Pull-Down Menu: Selects between three different Interval Modes.
o Fixed Interval: The interval remains fixed between the played note and the interval
set in the Interval Pull-Down menus.
o Harmonization: Applies intelligent harmonization between the played note and the
intervals set in the Harmony module further down the Editing interface. Use the
Harmony module to select a key paired with any of over 20 different scales. Unlike
the Normal fixed pitch Interval, the Harmonization pitch intervals fluctuate to adhere
with the selected key and scale. Please note that Voices 1 & 3 are only affected by
the Interval 2 pull-down menu in the Harmony block and Voices 2 &4 are only
affected by the Interval 1 pull-down menu in the Harmony block.
o Sequencer: The C4 can run one or two simultaneous sequencer patterns. Select the
Sequencer option and choose from the Source Audio collection of Sequencer
patterns or create your own Custom Sequences in the modules located further down
in the Editor. Please note that Voices 1 & 3 are routed to Sequencer 2 and Voices 2
& 4 are routed to Sequencer 1.
•
Level Knob: Sets the Output level of the corresponding Voice. Use each Voice's dedicated
Level knobs as a four-channel mixer for the final preset.
•
Processor Pan Knob: Directs each Voice's signal to either Processor 1 on the left side of the
knob or Processor 2 on the right side of the knob.
