That may seem like a lot of information to take in, so let's try to consolidate it by working
through an example of setting up an assignment and playing around with the various
settings to hear what they do. Let's use a Flexi Controller to create a 4-semitone pitch sweep
of an oscillator:
First, set up a simple sawtooth sound on VCO1 and VCO2. Set VCO1 PITCH COARSE to
12. Set the filter VCF TYPE slider to OFF. When you play a note, you should hear the two
oscillators pitched an octave apart.
Select the NOISE ENVELOPE as Flexi 1's source via the SOURCE window. Set the
ATTACK of the noise envelope to minimum and its DECAY to 110.
Now assign Flexi 1 to VCO1 COARSE by first clicking on the LEARN button in the Flexi 1
window and then clicking on the VCO1 COARSE slider. Set the left slider to 12 and the
right slider to 16.
Make sure mode is set to QUANTIZE by clicking in Flexi 1's MODE window.
Select a linear curve from the curve window by dragging the graphic.
Now, play a C and you will hear that VCO2 plays a steady C, whereas VCO1 plays
chromatically from E down to C.
Change the MODE to CONTINUOUS. Now when you play, the pitch will drop down
smoothly instead.
Move the right slider from 16 down to 8. Now when you play, the pitch of VCO1 starts at
C and moves up to E.
Adjust the right slider to 24 to get a full octave sweep. Set MODE back to QUANTIZE and
choose a few of the different curves. Notice how the timing of the pitch sweep changes as
you play using the different curves.
4 If you don't know how to do this then first look at the section of the manual called ​

There is a ​ C OPY​ option in the lower left part of the
screen to copy all parameters (except the destination) of
one Flexi Controller to one or more of the other Flexi
controllers. Click on the ​ F LEXI ​ b utton to show the FLEXI
