1. Use the [1] knob, [ä] [å] or [OSC 1] [OSC 2] buttons to select the layer for which you want to choose a
waveform.
2. Use the [2] knob (only if the top screen is shown) or the [MODEL] knob to select a waveform.
Use the [2] knob, [PITCH] knob, [OSC 1] slider, and [OSC 4] button to set the parameters of the layer you selected in step 1.

Value
Select the filter type.
A low-pass filter. This cuts off frequencies above the cutoff frequency.
LPF
Cutting off the high frequencies makes the sound more mellow.
BPF A band-pass filter. This cuts off frequencies except for those around the cutoff frequency.
HPF A high-pass filter. This cuts off frequencies below the cutoff frequency.
0–1023 Sets the cutoff frequency of the filter.
0–1023 Emphasizes the frequencies around the filter's cutoff frequency.
Larger values produce greater emphasis, creating a unique synthesizer-like sound.
0–255 Sets the attack time of the filter envelope.
Value
- Selects the waveform that's played for each layer.
-48–+48 Specifies the pitch in semitone steps (maximum ±4
octaves) for each layer.
-50–+50 Specifies the pitch in cents (maximum ±50 cents) for each
layer.
127:0– Specifies the balance in volume between two layers.
0:127 When this is set to 127:0, only layer 1 sounds.
0–16 Sets the depth of FXM frequency modulation.
0–255 Sets the attack time of the pitch envelope.
0–255 Sets the decay time of the pitch envelope.
0–+100 Sets the intensity of the pitch envelope.
Larger values produce a greater change with the pitch
envelope.
1–4 Sets the method used for FXM frequency modulation.
Larger values produce a rougher sound, and smaller
values produce a more metallic sound.
