SHAPE Range: various
Here you select which of the 16 tracking curves will be applied to the modulator selected as SRC-
2. You can use one of the convex or concave shapes to make the modulator’s effect come in
earlier or later than it ordinarily would; you can use one of the quantized shapes to make the
modulator’s effect sound “stepped”; or you can use the smoother (which is similar to a “lag
processor” in some older analog synths) to smooth the effect of the modulator, to round off the
edges. The diagram below shows the 16 Shaper tracking curves:
