PRESET PROGRAMMING
To access the Random Delta parameter, turn the level value of a
function generator one unit past r +127. The random delta (r ∆) sym-
bol appears in the value field.
FUNC GEN F1S1
Level r∆-127
A Random Delta level allows the function generator to change by a
random amount which does not exceed the random change specified.
If a random delta of +16 were programmed, the level could change by
any value between 0 and +16. If a value of -16 were programmed, the
level could change by any value between 0 and -16.
In the example above, the random delta values are set to +16 and -16
and segment 2 always loops back to segment 1. Note that the level
may exceed the values of ±16 as long as the amount of change in one
segment does not exceed these values. The example above shows a
smooth random generator whose rate of change is limited to ±16.
FREE-RUNNING FUNCTION GENERATOR
Hyperpresets contain a slightly different version of the function gen-
erator called a Free-Running Function Generator or Free-Run FG. The
Free-Run FG is only active when a Hyperpreset is in use, even though
its destination 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 Hyperpreset which have the Free-Run FG assigned. This
differs from the 2 function generators in the preset which are com-
pletely independent from note to note. Because the Free-Run FG is like
a global modulation source, it can be used when you want to modu-
late multiple sounds in the same way.
