TEMPO SYNC [ON, OFF]
Touch the text/LED area to turn TEMPO SYNC on and off.
On (LED lit): When TEMPO SYNC is On, the MG
synchronizes to the system tempo, as set by either the Tempo
or MIDI Clock. The MG speed is controlled by the
combination of the BASE NOTE and
FREQUENCY/TIMES parameters, below.
Off (LED dark): When TEMPO SYNC is Off, the
FREQUENCY/TIMES knob determines the speed of the
MG, and the BASE NOTE setting has no effect.
This parameter is not modulatable via AMS.
KEY SYNC [ON, OFF]
Touch the text/LED area to turn KEY SYNC on and off.
If this setting is ON, the phase is reset for the first note-on in
each legato phrase. Subsequent notes in a chord, or notes
played legato, do not cause the phase to be reset.
This parameter is not modulatable via AMS.
BASE NOTE [1/1…1/32]
When TEMPO SYNC is ON, this sets the basic speed of the
MG, relative to the system tempo. The values range from a
32nd note to a whole note, including triplets. This value is
then multiplied by the FREQUENCY/TIMES knob, below.
When TEMPO SYNC is OFF, this parameter has no effect.
This parameter is not modulatable via AMS.
WAVEFORM[……]
This controls the waveform of the MODULATION
GENERATOR. The MG always generates both the
Rectangle and Sawtooth/Triangle waveforms, and each is
available simultaneously via the Patch Panel. The
WAVEFORM knob controls the pulse width of the
Rectangle wave, and makes the Sawtooth/Triangle “lean”
from left to right, as shown in the graphics.
FREQUENCY/TIMES [0.00…10.00/16…1]
If TEMPO SYNC is OFF, this controls the frequency of the
MG.
If TEMPO SYNC is ON, this multiplies the length of the
BASE NOTE. For instance, if the BASE NOTE is set to a
sixteenth note, and Times is set to 3, the MG will cycle over
a dotted eighth note. Note that higher values mean a faster
MG.
Frequency/Times LED
This LED gives a visual indication of the LFO speed. Note
that the LED is on when the MG’s pulse/square waveform is
low. Initially, this seems like the opposite of what one might
expect. When using the MG to trigger the EGs, however, this
makes perfect sense: the EGs start when the LED goes on,
and release when the LED goes off.
5–1c: ENVELOPE GENERATOR 1
By default, EG 1 is triggered by note-ons. However, you can
use the Patch Panel’s TRIG IN or EG 1 TRIG IN jacks to
trigger it from a different source, such as the MG, AMS
sources, or the ESP’s TRIG OUT jack. For more
information, see “TRIG IN jack” on page 271.
EG1 is normalled to VCO frequency modulation (scaled by
the EG1/EXT knob), as well as the MVCA control input
(see “6–1f: Modulation VCA (MVCA)” on page 271).
DELAY TIME [0.00…10.00]
Adjusts the time from when the trigger occurs (e.g., note-on)
until the ATTACK TIME starts.
For standard attack-release behavior, set the DELAY TIME
to 0.00.
ATTACK TIME [0.00…10.00]
Adjusts the time from the end of the DELAY TIME until
the EG reaches its maximum value.
RELEASE TIME [0.00…10.00]
Adjusts the time from when the trigger is released (e.g.,
note-off) until the level decays to zero.
5–1d: ENVELOPE GENERATOR 2
By default, EG 2 is triggered by note-ons. However, you can
use the Patch Panel’s TRIG IN jack to trigger it from a
different source, such as the MG, AMS sources, or the ESP’s
TRIG OUT jack. For more information, see “TRIG IN
jack” on page 271.
EG 2 is hard-wired to the VCA, and also normalled to
control the HPF and LPF. You can easily use other EGs for
the filters, via AMS; using other EGs for the VCA is
possible but slightly more tricky, as described under “Using
EGs 3–6 to control the amplitude” on page 265.
