Tochangethetuningoftheoscillators,asemitoneanddetunecontrolforeachoscillatorisavailable.The
controlsarelabeledTUNE1andTUNE2.Fromthecenterpositionoftheknob,detunetheoscillator+/-100
cents.Thenattheouterextremes,thetuneadjustmentswitchestoquantizedsemitonestotransposethe
oscillator.
ToadjustthelevelsofOSC1,OSC2andthenoisegenerator,holdtheOSCbuttonfor1secondunitltheOSC
LEDstartsblinking.NowtheknobsadjustthevolumesforOSC1,OSC2andNoise.
Theoscillatortuningisdigitallycontrolled.Thetuningisupdatedatstartupandthenautomaticallyduring
momentsofinactivity.YoucanalsotunetheoscillatorsmanuallybypressingtheALT+TUNEbuttons.
4.1.2–FilterRow
Thefiltercolorsthesoundoftheoscillatorsinasynthesizer.
TheUNOfilterisa2-polemultimodefilter.Itfiltersfromthecutofffrequencyat12dBperoctave.
TheUNOSynthhasadedicatedfiltercutoffknob.TurningCUTOFFisthemostimmediateandeffectivewaysto
changethesound.
ThentheFILTERrowcontainsthesecontrols:
MODE:selectsbetweenLowPass(LP)wherehighsabovethecutofffrequencyarereduced,HighPass(HP)
wherelowsbelowthecutofffrequencyarereducedandBandPass(BP)wherebothhighsandlowsaroundthe
cutofffrequency(theselected“band”)arereduced.
RES:adjusttheresonanceofthefilterwhichistheleveloftheresonantpeakatthecutofffrequency.
DRIVE:adjuststheamountofsaturationappliedtothesoundgoingfromsubtleoverdrivetodistortion.
ENV AMOUNT:setstheamountthatthefilterenvelopewillmodulatethefiltercutofffrequencywithboth
positiveornegativevaluesavailable.TheFilterEnvelopeisapowerfultoolandanessentialpartofthesoundof
asynthesizer.Itssettingsandamountletsyoucreatealltypesofsounds.
