Page 9 om01basicoperation0350 Tone generator block The tone generator block is equipped with a hybrid sound engine combining three synthesis systems. AWM2 sound engine The AWM2 sound engine features waveforms containing sampled wave data you can assign to each element, and then modify the sound by using Filters and EGs (envelope generators). Each Normal Part uses up to 128 elements to generate a wide range of rich sounds that help you create expressive sounds.
Page 10 Drum Part The Drum Part has a maximum of 73 drum keys you can use for creating desired drum kits by assigning the waveforms of percussion sounds to each key on the keyboard. Individual drum sounds (different for each key) (C0 to C6) FM-X sound engine The FM-X sound engine uses eight oscillators (Operators) to modulate the frequency of the waves generated by each Operator to create rich harmonic overtones.
