  • Page 1 MONO SYNTH VOICE SECTION...
  • Page 2 MONO SYNTH Voice Section MONO SYNTH Voice Section The MONO SYNTH Voice Section, as the name implies, is a monophonic synthesizer utilizing physical modeling to create the sounds and effects of classic analog synthesizers. There are several individual“Oscillator Types” which can be modified by the Filter (timbre), Amplitude (volume), Section Effects (Multi Effects and Overdrive) and the Equalizer.

  • Page 3: Oscillator Controls

    OSCILLATOR TYPE The SK PRO has 6 audio oscillator settings which can be manipulated to produce a wide variety of tones. These are explained starting below. This setting utilizes two different pitched Oscillators. The first Oscillator (OSC1) sounds at “true pitch,”...
