1ST^
So, from left to right:
This sets ihe synthesizer volume level for the selected Patch only (as opposed to the VOLUME
knob
which seis the volume for the GR - 1 as a whole).
This means that when you change Patches, this
volume will also change.
You can store a setting made with this knob in the GR - I's memory using Patch Write (c7 P. 3-14)
That way.
you can switch between two Patches and instantly compensate for differences in volume;
or. alternatively, have two Patches with the same sound, but set one with back-up volume level and the
other with lead level.
"For most purposes, you should set this knob as high as practicable to achieve the best
signal-to-noise ratio.
STZ/2ND
BALANCE
This sets the balance between the volumes of the Ist and 2nd Tones in a Patch. Rotating the knob
counterclockwise increases the Ist Tone volume: clockwise rotation increases the 2nd Tone volume.
*Note
that if you
rotate
the
knob
completely
counterclockwise,
2nd
Tone
notes
will
completely disappear, and vice versa.
ISTZ?2ND
INTERVAL
This sets the difference in pitch between the {st and 2nd Tones (in semi-tone intervals). However, it
does this by changing the pitch of the 2nd Tone only, leaving the pitch of the 1st Tone for each string
unchanged, When
the ist and 2nd Tones' pitch are set to the same value, if you rotate the knob
completely clockwise.
the 2nd Tone will be an octave above the Ist Tone, and conversely, if you
rotate the knob completely counterclockwise,
the 2nd Tone will be one octave below the Ist. The
center position gives you the same pitch for both Tones.
* Note that what you do with this knob will also change the Edit mode setting called "2nd
Tone Note Shift" (<> P.4 — 7).
