Choose "PRESET D-8". The sawtooth wave is selected.
2 Since bass involves low frequencies, turn the [PITCH] knob on the OSC section all the way
to left, and set to (-12). Now the sound is lowered by 1 octave.
3 Turn the [CUTOFF] knob on the FILTER section all the way left and set to (MIN).
The sound becomes inaudible.
4
Let's create the initial attack of the sound. Raise the [D] slider of the FILTER ENV a little.
5
Let's determine the timbre of the sustained note. Raise the [S] slider
of the FILTER ENV a little.
6
In order to achieve the effect of sliding over the frets while holding the string down
(glissando), press the [SOLO] button.
7 Slightly raise the [DEPTH] slider of the FILTER ENV to determine the overall timbre.
The attack is weakened, and sound will be darkened.
8 Press the [SLOPE] button and select -24dB. The core of the sound is retained,
yet it sounds a little darker now.
9 Turn the [RESONANCE] knob and add a little bite to the sound as you like.
10
Press the [FX ON] button.
11 Turn the [TIME] knob in the EFFECTS section all the way left to (MIN).
Turn the [DEPTH] knob and fatten the bass timbre.
12 Lastly, fine adjust the [DEPTH] slider of the FILTER ENV to determine
the overall sound.

Let's create the initial portion of the sound. Raise the [A] and [D] sliders
of the FILTER ENV a little.
5
Determine the overall timbre by raising the [DEPTH] slider of the FILTER ENV.

The sound gains more bite by doing so.
7
Press the [PORTAMENTO] button.
8 To further enhance the lead synth sound, press the [SOLO] button.
Now it plays monophonic (a single note at a time). Also when you hold a key while pressing
another key, the two notes will transition smoothly.
9
Press the [FX ON] button.
10 Position the [TIME] knob at "twelve o'clock". Turn the [DEPTH] knob and add some echo
effect to the lead sound (delay).
