(10) VCF Cuto – controls the cuto frequency of the low pass lter.
(11) VCF Emphasis – controls the resonance of the lter.
Each of the voices of the Wave synthesizer is equipped with a 24dB per octave
voltage-controlled low-pass lter, based on the reproduction of the SSM2044 chip.
The VCF-Cuto knob sets the lter cuto frequency: frequencies below
this threshold pass unchanged, while frequencies above it are attenuated.
Turning the VCF-Cuto knob clockwise increases the cuto frequency, so when
the knob is turned fully clockwise, the sound passes unchanged.
The Emphasis control adjusts the lter resonance, emphasizing the frequencies
around the cuto frequency set by the VCF-Cuto knob. If the resonance is
increased signicantly, the lter will start to self-oscillate, generating a sine
wave whose frequency depends on the VCF Cuto. You can experiment the
eect of the resonance by increasing the Emphasis knob. Setting the emphasis
to values below 50%, produces the typical bright sound. Please note that one of
the characteristics of the SSM2044 is the dependency between resonance and
output signal level: as the resonance increases, the lter output level decreases.
The operation of the lter is depicted in the image below.

Filter Modulation
Filter Cuto frequency can be modulated by the following sources:
• • Pitch bend (Option BD in Digital menu)
• • Modulation Wheel (Option MF in Digital menu)
• • Low Frequency Oscillator (Option MF in Digital menu)
• • Keyboard (Option KF in Digital menu)
• • Velocity (Option VF in Digital menu)
• • Envelope 1 (Default)
• • Expression Pedal (Option EXP-PED in USER menu)
• • Channel Aftertouch (Option TL in Digital menu)

(12) Waves Osc – steps through the waveforms of the selected wavetable for the
main oscillator, from 00 to 63.
(13) Waves Sub – steps through the waveforms of the selected wavetable for
the sub oscillator, from 00 to 63.
If the selected waveform is a transient one (31-63) then controls

set the sample playback start points for the main and sub oscillators.
Waves Modulation
Main and Sub oscillator waves can also be modulated by:
• • Pitch bend (Option BD in Digital menu)
• • Modulation wheel (Option MW in Digital menu)
• • LFO (Option MW in Digital menu)
• • Keyboard (Option KW in Digital menu)
• • Aftertouch (Option TW in Digital menu)
• • Expression pedal (Option EXP-PED in USER menu)
• • Envelope 1 or Envelope 3 (Option SW in Digital menu)
