Mod wheel
The Mod Wheel can be used for controlling the LFO modulation amount of the pitch and/or amplitude. PX7 also
responds to ModWheel MIDI data from a connected MIDI master keyboard. You set the desired LFO pitch
modulation amount with the
knobs (individually for each operator).
Note On LED
This LED lights up as soon as MIDI Note On data is sent to PX7.
Bend Range
Set the desired Pitch Bend range for the
D
Range: +/-12 semitones in steps of +/-1 semitone.
Transpose
Click the up/down buttons to transpose the global pitch up or down.
D
Range: +/-24 semitones in steps of +/-1 semitone.
Mono
Click to play the PX7 in monophonic mode.
D
Legato
Legato only works in Mono mode (see above). The Legato function works as follows:
Hold down a key and then press another key without releasing the previous.
D
Notice that the pitch changes, but the envelopes do not start over. That is, there will be no new "attack".
Portamento
Portamento can only be used in Mono mode (see above) with or without Legato.
• In Mono mode without Legato, the pitch will glide between consecutive notes, with the time set with the Por-
tamento knob.
• In Mono mode with Legato on, the pitch will glide between consecutive notes only when you play legato.
If you release the previous key before hitting the new key, there will be no portamento effect.
Algorithm controls
The PX7 features six operators (sinewave oscillators). Depending on if an operator works as a sound generator
(carrier) or modulator, the functionality is quite different. If an operator should work as a sound generator or
modulator is determined by the Algorithm selector in the lower right corner of the PX7, so lets begin by describing
this.
