Chapter 6: Hyperpreset Menu 65
HYPERPRESET MENU
Hyperpresets contain a slightly different version of the function genera-
tor called a Free-Running Function Generator or Free-Run FG. There is
one Free-Run FG per hyperpreset (effectively one per MIDI channel).
What the Free-Run FG actually controls is programmed in the preset
itself.
The Free-Run FG differs from the other FGs in two fundamental ways.
There is one Free-Run FG per Hyperpreset which can modulate any
presets in the hyper which have the Free-Run FG assigned. This differs
from the 2 function generators in the preset which are completely
independent from note to note. Because the Free-Run FG is like a global
modulation source, it can be used when you want to modulate multiple
sounds in the same way. The Free-Run FG is only active when
playing a Hyperpreset.
For example, you could program the Free-Run FG to be an LFO and
modulate the pitch. All the voices in all presets in that hyperpreset
with Free-Run FG assigned would modulate up and down in
unison.The Free-Run FG begins the instant the hyperpreset is selected
and continues to run until stopped by its programming or when an-
other hyperpreset is selected. If the Free-Run FG is not pro-
grammed to loop, it simply runs to the last segment and
stops! Because it continually runs (if so programmed) and is not
started at the beginning of a note like the preset function generators, it
is called “free-running”.
