This rather fanciful instrument voice takes advantage of the FM tone generator's
VOICE 2: remarkabie ability to accurately simulate plucked string sounds. This voice makes
ELECTRIC LUTE full use of FM modulation, by using ALGOTITHM 2, which provides two levels
of modulation as well as the additional modulation of the 1st modulator (OP2)
by 2 more modulators (OP3 and OP4).

Note that in this voice, the EG settings are the same for each operator. In this case,
Start by setting the OP1 EG parameters to their respective values, and then use the
EG copy function to copy these parameters to OP2, OP3 and OP4 (the EG COPY
function also copies the keyboard rate and level scaling parameters). This saves
a lot of programming time and effort.
The OP4 KEYBOARD SCALING LEVEL setting of 30 reduces the "bite" of the voice
in the high range, producing a more mellow plucked- string type sound over the
entire range of the keyboard.
Since it is better to use a subtle vibrato effect for this type of voice, the MODU-
LATION SENSITIVITY, PITCH is set to 5 and the FUNCTION mode WHEEL RANGE,
PITCH parameter is set to 50. With these settings, rotating the Modulation Wheel
to its maximum position will produce just the right amount of vibrato to enhance
the voice.
