Varying the pulse width

4) "ONE-TOUCH" EFFECTS SECTION
The "One Touch" Effects section is
a
powerful addition
to
the Mono/Poly
incorporating such dynamic sounds as
SYNC {Synchronised Swept Oscillators!.
X-MOD (Cross Modulation), and
other
special effects.
Two
different
types
of
SYNC
and X MOD functions
are pro-
vided,
and the SYNC and
x
MOO
func-
tions may
even
be
combined,
to
create an
entirety
new
r jnge of sounds.
The entire Effects section
is des-gned as a
presettable "One
Touch" system, where-
by all
necessary oontrol changes
can be
pre-set
by
the
user, and
then broughi
instantly into play by
simply
depressing
the orange EFFECTS LED
pushbutton
switch. Depressing me EFFECTS
button
again cancels the selected
effect and
instantly returns the synthesizer to
normal operation.
Note: Operation of the EFFECTS
LEO
pushbutton switch also selects the Unison
Key Assign mode, since these effects will
most often
be used
monophoniceNy. The
user is free
to
select other
modes
(e.g..
Chord Memory. Unison/Share, etc.).
»f
desired,
by
pressing the Appropriate
switch
after pressing
the EFFECTS LED

All of
these effects
depend upon
master/
slave VCO
relationships, in
which one
oscillator
(the
"stave"! is
modulated
by
and/or
synchronized
to
another oscillator
!the
"master")
