Setting This parameter:
WAVE SHAPE adds bottom to the sound by
adding a second pitch, one
octave down, to Partial 1 when
it's using one of the first five
WAVE options, as described in
the OSC Controls table below.
TONE LEVEL determines the overall volume
of the SYNTH sound.
The Partial Switches and SELECT Buttons
The Partial switches turn each of the sound's three partials on or off.
When a partial is turned on, its switch lights yellow.
You program a single partial at a time. To select the partial you want to
work on, touch its SELECT button so it lights orange.
As you work on a partial, you can temporarily turn the sound's
other partials off to better hear what you're doing.
Programming a Partial
Once you've selected a partial to program, you can set up the chain of
virtual devices through which its sound passes. Each device in some
way shape's the partial's sound.
OSC
FILTER
(Oscillator)
Here's what the controls for these devices do.
Can be set to:
0-127
0-127
Partial
switches
AMP
OSC Controls—These controls set the basic sound, pitch, and
shape of the partial.
Setting This parameter:
WAVE determines the most basic
aspect of the partial's
sound: the type of sound
wave it produces.
VARIATION selects one of three
variations available for the
selected wave.
PITCH sets the pitch of the partial
in semitones.
DETUNE adjusts the pitch of the
partial in fine increments.
MOD turns Ring Modulation on
or off. Ring Modulation
combines the first two
partials to create a
complex timbre.
Can be set to:
•
—sawtooth wave
•
—square wave
•
—pulse/PWM
•
—triangle wave
•
NOISE
•
SUPER SAW
•
PCM—these are
sampled sound
waves. With PCM
selected, touch the
PCM number to
display a menu from
which you can select
the desired sound
wave.
A, B, C—The WAVE
button's color shows
the current variation:
•
A—Unlit
•
B—red
•
C—green
-24 to +24
-50 to +50
