54 S4 Plus Reference Manual
Level
Each sound in a program can have its own level, pan position, and output
assignment. With up to four sounds per program, this allows for a wide variety of
stereo effects and level balances between the sounds.
Volume (00 to 99)
This sets the overall volume for a sound. Higher numbers give higher levels.
Pan (<3 to 3>)
There are 7 available pan locations in the stereo (two-channel) field: Far left (-3), mid
left, near left, center (0), near right, mid right, and far right (+3). The pan value is
maintained, even if the Output value is changed (see below).
Output (Main, Aux, or Off)
The Output parameter has three settings: Main, Aux, or Off. To send the sound’s
output to the Main outputs, select Main. To send the sound’s output to the Aux
outputs, select Aux. To turn off the sound’s output, set this parameter to Off.
(Note, however, that the sound may still feed an Effect Send).
To send a sound to an individual output, use Output in conjunction with Pan.
Example:
Panning a sound full left and selecting the Aux outputs means that the
sound will appear at only the left Aux output.
Effect Level
The S4 Plus isn’t just a synthesizer; it also has a built-in effects system and mixer,
with four effect buses and sends. This section lets you feed the sound to one of the
effect buses for processing. See Chapter 7 for more information on editing Effects.
Level (00 to 99)
Determines how much of the sound feeds the chosen effect bus (see below). Higher
values mean that the sound will be more effected.
Bus (1 to 4)
Selects which of the four buses the sound will feed, thereby determining which
effect(s) will process the sound. Each Program has its own unique arrangement of
effects.
Example:
In Program #12, bus 1 may be a Chorus/Delay/Reverb, while in
Program #27, bus 1 may just be a Flanger.
Pitch
Pitch (Page 1)
Semitone (-24 to +24 semitones)
Sets the oscillator pitch in semitone steps, from -24 (transposed down two octaves) to
+24 (transposed up two octaves).
Detune (-99 to +99 cents)
Sets the oscillator pitch in cents, from -99 (transposed down 99/100 of a semitone) to
+99 (transposed up 99/100 of a semitone).
