Behringer WAVE - Digital Menu

22 WAVE User Manual
V – indicates the current Firmware version Firmware updates are available
through the SynthTribe app; and it is advisable to run the app regularly to check if
there are updates available.
PAR-COM – the PAR-COM setting determines if the Wave receives and transmits
MIDI CC messages that adjust the sound parameters.
0 = No Sound Parameter Changes are transmitted or received
1 = Sound Parameter Changes are transmittedonly.
2 = Sound Parameter Changes are receivedonly.
3 = Sound Parameter Changes are both transmitted and received
A good example of how to use PAR-COM would be the recording of MIDI CC data in a
DAW: switch the Wave to Local O and connect to the DAW using USB. Use the Wave's
keyboard to play the selected sound and the controls to modify it. All MIDI data will be
recorded into the DAW, and the DAW will control the Wave in real time. The recording
can then be edited if necessary until you are happy with it; and played back as required.
FIRM – indicated the rmware emulation setting:
0 = Original rmware: this setting reproduces the original accurately.
1 = Enhanced: this setting introduces some enhancements:
• • Disables LFO delay completely when DELAY=0
• • Increases LFO->Loudness modulation range
• • Leaves ADSR envelope 2 shape intact when ML=1and adds Mod
Wheel control (see Digital Menu below).
• • Reduces Wave sweep range for MW=½(see Digital Menu below)
OSC – indicated the oscillator quality setting:
0 = Original rmware
1 = Enhanced (less aliasing and improved wave sweeping)
LFO – indicated the LFO precision setting:
0 = Original rmware (LFO is quite wobbly, especially at high speeds)
1 = Modern (Improved timing and precision)
Digital Menu
The Digital Menu, selected by Digital button
(30)
, shows the digital parameters of
your selected program, and allows them to be edited. Parameters are navigated
using the left and right cursor controls on the numeric keypad
(28)
.
The two character control abbreviations refer to the source (rst character) and
destination (second character) of each setting, with the exception of the rst two
options, which reference the Upper wavetable and the Sub-oscillator. The sources are:
K – keyboard, or incoming MIDI notes.
M – modulation from the LFO.
B – pitchbend from the internal bend wheel, or from an external MIDI source.
T – aftertouch from the keyboard or from an external MIDI source.
V – velocity from the keyboard or from an external MIDI source.
These are variously applied to the following destinations:
W – Wavetable position.
F – the voltage controlled lter.
L - the VCA (loudness).
M – modulation intensity from the LFO.
With the exception of the pitchbend options, where D represents pitchbend
destination and I represents its interval or range.
From left to right / top row:
PROG – shows the current program number, which can be changed in this menu
UW – changes from normal wavetable to Upper Wavetable. The settings are:
0 – The selected Wavetable is used. WT Positions 60 - 63 and table
wrapping is enabled
1 – The upper Wavetable is used, which contains the most interesting
waves from all 30 wavetables
2 – The selected Wavetable is used. Wavetable locations 60 - 63
and wavetable wrapping are disabled. (Very useful for
Wavetable sweeping)
SW – indicates the sub-oscillator waveform status. There are seven settings:
0 – waveform is the same as the main oscillator, plus any modication
made using the Waves Sub control
(13)
.
1 – the sub-oscillator waveform is set only by the Waves Sub control
(13)
.
2 – replaces envelope generator 1 with envelope generator 3 to sweep
through the waves in the wavetable, as set by Env 1 – waves control
(24)
.
3 – switches the sub-oscillator o.
4 – The sub-oscillator output is muted and used to hard-sync the main
oscillator. The frequency of the main oscillator can be adjusted with the
Waves Sub control
(13)
5 – The sub-oscillator waveform is set only by the Waves Sub control
(13)
.
Its output is used for ring-modulation with the main-oscillator
6 – The Sub-oscillator turns into a noise generator. The Noise level can be
adjusted with the Waves Sub control
(13)
KW – the keyboard controls the waveform for each note played. There are eight settings:
0 – the keyboard eect is switched o. All notes will have the
waveform selected.
1-3 – as higher notes are played the waveform will shift to a higher
waveform in the wavetable.
4 – each note will have its own waveform. The lowest C on the keyboard will
have the waveform selected by the Waves Osc control
(12)
; each subsequent
key will take the waveform below that in the table. If the rst waveform is
reached then the next note will take the highest waveform (63).
5-7 – stronger versions of 4, whereby waveforms are skipped.
