affects the slave VCOs. The MG1 wheel can modulate VCO1 or the slave VCOs.
Pitch – the BEND wheel can pitch bend all VCOs. The MG1 wheel can modulate the pitch.
VCF – the BEND wheel directly affects the filter cutoff frequency, and the MG1 wheel modulates it.
8. OUTPUT – adjust the overall volume level of the main and headphone outputs. Turn this down before turning
on power, or connecting headphones or external amplifiers and equipment.
9. FREQUENCY MG1 – adjust the frequency of Modulation Generator 1 (MG1). The LED will flash at the current
frequency.
WAVEFORM MG1 – select the wave shape of MG1 from: triangular, reverse sawtooth, sawtooth, or pulse.
10. FREQUENCY MG2 – adjust the frequency
of Modulation Generator 2 (MG2). The LED will flash at the current frequency. The MG2 waveform is triangular.
11. X-MOD/FREQ-MOD/MODE – use these controls to setup the effects, and then use the EFFECTS switch to turn
these on or off. The various effects are based upon the relationship between a master VCO, and slave VCOs.
X- MOD – adjusts the level of cross-modulation when in X-MOD or S & X mode.
FREQ MOD – the knob and switch control the frequency modulation given to the slave VCOs only (as set by the
SINGLE/DOUBLE switch).
MOD MODES
SYNC – the slave VCOs are synchronised in tune with their respective master VCO.
S & X – a combination of synchronised oscillators (S) and cross-modulation (X).
X-MOD – cross-modulation, where VCOs are frequency-modulated by another VCO.
SINGLE – VCO1 is the master and VCO2-4 are all slaves
DOUBLE – VCO1 is a master and VCO2 its slave. VCO3 is a master and VCO4 its slave.
12. PWM– if you select PWM as a waveform
for the VCOs, use these controls to make adjustments:
VCO EG/MG1/MG2 – selects the source used to modulate the pulse width.
INTENSITY – adjusts the modulation intensity.
13. PW WIDTH – if you select PW as a waveform for the VCOs, use this control to adjust the pulse width from
narrow to wide.
14. TRANSPOSE – this switch raises or lowers the keyboard by one octave, without having to adjust any VCO
settings. It also affects the rear panel CV OUT, and the VCF’s KYB TRACK control.
UP – raises the keyboard by one octave. NORMAL – this is the normal octave position. DOWN – lowers the
keyboard by one octave.
15. PORTAMENTO – adjust the amount of Portamento (or Glide), between notes as they are played.
16. DETUNE – adjust this control in Unison mode to detune the 4 VCOs in opposite directions to produce a fatter
sound. Reset to zero to return all the VCOs for polyphonic playing.
17. MASTER TUNE – adjust the frequency of all VCOs 1 to 4.
18. VCO 1, 2, 3, 4 – the MONOPOLY has four voltage controlled oscillators (VCO), with similar controls. An LED
indicates when each VCO is on.
TUNE– adjust the frequency of VCO 2, 3, or 4. WAVEFORM – select the wave shape from: triangular, reverse
sawtooth, PWM, or PW. OCTAVE – select the VCO octave from 2′, 4′, 8′, and 16′.
LEVEL – adjust the output level of each VCO.
19. VCF – the voltage controlled filter (VCF) is a low-pass filter, where audio frequencies above the cutoff frequency
are attenuated.
CUTOFF – adjusts the cutoff frequency.
RESONANCE – adjusts the amount of volume level boost given at the cutoff frequency.
EG INTENSITY – adjusts how much the Filter Envelope affects the VCF.
KYB TRACK – adjusts how much the cutoff frequency follows (tracks) the keyboard. (For example, if you play
higher notes, does the cutoff frequency also increase, or stay fixed.)
20. VCF EG – these knobs adjust the envelope generator (EG) affecting the voltage controlled filter (VCF). The
controls affect the change in cutoff frequency with time. ATTACK – adjust the time for the cutoff frequency to
reach the frequency set by the CUTOFF control.
DECAY TIME – adjust the time for the cutoff frequency to decay down to the SUSTAIN frequency after the
attack time is over. SUSTAIN – adjust the cutoff to a frequency which is sustained after the attack time and
initial decay time have been reached. RELEASE – adjust the time taken for the cutoff frequency to release after
the note is released.
21. VCA EG – these knobs adjust the envelope generator (EG) affecting the voltage controlled amplifier (VCA). The
controls affect the change in volume with time.
ATTACK – adjust the time for the amplitude to reach its maximum level.
DECAY TIME – adjust the time for the amplitude to decay down to the SUSTAIN level after the attack time is
over.
