Creating/Editing Patches (Patch Menu)

Creating/Editing Patches

On the VC-2, you don't need to create patches from scratch,
you can start with an existing patch; i.e., by selecting a patch
algorithm.
1. Decide on the algorithm (p. 7) for the patch you
want to create.
2. Choose an existing patch that uses that
algorithm.
3. Assign a new name to that patch, and save it at
a different patch number (p. 56, p. 57).
Edit the patch you copied.
4. Press the [MENU] so it's lighted, and access the
MENU screen.
If you don't see Menu in the upper left of the screen and
Patch in the lower left, press [EXIT] until they appear.
5. In the top menu screen, move the cursor to
Patch.
6. Press the VALUE knob.

Carr (Carrier)

Patches whose patch algorithm is Poly PShift do not
have this menu.
The carrier menu will be different if the patch algorithm
is Processor~. Refer to "Carrier Menu for Processor~
Patch Algorithms" (p. 52).

OSC1Wave/OSC2Wave
The following parameters will be displayed if the oscillator
type is Analog.
Parameter Value Explanation
Wav — Selects the wave.
* The available waves will depend on the
patch algorithm.
Level 0–127 Adjusts the output volume.
Pan L64– Specifies the pan of the patch. "L64" is far
0–63R left, "0" is center, and "63R" is far right.
Pulse -63– Specifies the amount by which the wave
Width +63 shape will be modified.
SubOSC OFF, The same wave will be layered.
-2, OFF: No sound.
-1, -2: The second wave will sound two oc-
0 taves below.
-1: The second wave will sound one octave
below.
0: The second wave will sound at the same
pitch.
SubLvl 0–127 Specifies the output volume of the second
wave.
Detune -63– Specifies the amount of detuning for the
+63 second wave.
The following parameters will be displayed if the oscillator
type is PCM.
Parameter Value Explanation
Wav — Selects the wave.
* The available waves will depend on the
patch algorithm.
Level 0–127 Adjusts the output volume.
Pan L64– Specifies the pan of the patch. "L64" is far
0–63R left, "0" is center, and "63R" is far right.
Offset 0–15 Adjusts the precise point at which the
wave is to begin sounding.
OSC1Pitch
Parameter Value Explanation
Octave -4– +4 Adjusts the pitch of the OSC1's sound up
Shift or down in units of an octave (+/-4 oc-
taves).
OSC2Pitch
Parameter Value Explanation
Coarse -48– Adjusts the pitch of the oscillator up or
(Coarse +48 down in semitone steps (+/-4 octaves).
