INTRODUCTION 1/11 Node is a four-operator FM synthesis engine for KORG prologue, minilogue xd and NTS-1. It is based on a classic setup with four sine oscillators (operators), which are connected together via multiple different algorithms that let them apply frequency modulation onto one another. This plugin neatly packages a total of 24 such FM algorithms and allows to set operator frequency ratios within an extremely wide range, delivering nearly 90,000 possible combinations –...
BEFORE YOU START 2/11 Before you install third-party plugins, please make sure that you have the latest system update installed on your KORG synthesizer, and that you also perform the panel update and voice update procedures if they are required. Older system versions can have major issues with newer plugins. You should keep the Sound Librarian application updated as well.

5/11 To use Node for creating your own sounds, you need to load the plugin into the MULTI ENGINE oscillator. It is best to start from an initialized preset to make sure that there are no pre-existing sound adjustments that could prevent the plugin from sounding correctly.
EDITING PARAMETERS 6/11 Like all multi-engine plugins, Node includes additional parameters that enable deep customization. Below are the instructions for accessing and editing them depending on the device model. For the detailed description of what each parameter does, please see the PARAMETER GUIDE.

1. oscillator shape, its spectrum contains frequency than operator 1 – which Node allows these to be set from 0.5 to just a single frequency partial. In Node, means the operator 2:1 ratio is 2.0.
TIPS & TRICKS 11/11 – You can use the filter on your synthesizer to further sculpt the Node’s sound. This works especially well if Node is producing a harmonically rich waveform (with high FM modulation depth value). To create sounds with complicated motion, try adding both shape modulation via Node’s built-in modulation generator plus...
