RESONANCE
This knob allows you to boost or emphasise the frequencies around the Cut-Off frequency (set by Frequency knob on page
75). For this reason on some synths this control is known as Emphasis. Fully anticlockwise there is no boosting of the Cut-
Off frequency, but as you turn clockwise this frequency will be boosted until fully anticlockwise it goes in to oscillation pro-
ducing a new pitched element (similar to feedback on an electric guitar). If ever the BassStation produces a high whistling
sound, the chances are this knob is too far clockwise. Unless you want this self-oscillating effect, keep the resonance con-
trol away from the extreme clockwise setting. Increasing the Resonance is very good for bringing out modulation (move-
ment or change) in the filter Cut-Off frequency, such as in Acid basslines and other very up-front sounds. Keep the reso-
nance to a minimum if you want more subtle less striking sounds. NOTE: In the 12db mode this knob has the same range
as a TB303* and so will not self-oscillate when turned fully clockwise.

K'YBD TRACK
This knob controls the amount of change to the filter Cut-Off ( set by the "Frequency" knob ) by the pitch of the note played.
In its "0" position there is no change to the filter Cut-Off frequency. Clockwise of centre there will be an increasing amount
of modulation, i.e. the filter will be opened more as higher notes are played on the keyboard. This control is used to set how
the timbre of a sound changes over the keyboard. At the "10" position the filter tracks the pitch changes in a 1 to 1 ratio.
NOTE: To emulate a TB303* this knob should be set to "0" in 12db mode.
