PROGRAM > MOD-7: Oscillator
5–1: Osc Main
This page includes:
• Pitch slope and portamento settings
• Pitch modulation applied equally to the PCM Oscillator
and all six VPM Oscillators (note that individual
oscillators have their own pitch modulation, as well)
• Macro parameters, for quick edits to VPM sounds
• Carrier/Modulator settings for the six VPM Oscillators
• Noise Generator settings
• Audio Input settings
5–1a: Pitch
These parameters let you modulate the pitch of the PCM
Oscillator and all 6 VPM Oscillators simultaneously, so that
the modulation applies equally to all of them.
Pitch Slope [-1.00…+0.00…+2.00]
Normally, this should be set to the default of +1.00.
Positive (+) values cause the pitch to rise as you play higher
on the keyboard, and negative (–) values cause the pitch to
fall as you play higher on the keyboard.
When this is set to 0, playing different notes on the keyboard
won’t change the pitch at all; it will be as if you’re always
playing C4. This can be useful for special effects sounds, for
instance.
If you want to create more complex effects, you can assign
key tracking as an AMS source.
Pitch Slope, pitch, and note
JS+ X [-60…+60 semitones]
This sets the maximum amount of pitch bend, in semitones,
when you move the joystick to the right. For normal pitch
bend, set this to a positive value.
JS- X [-60…+60 semitones]
This sets the maximum amount of pitch bend, in semitones,
when you move the joystick to the left. For normal pitch
bend, set this to a negative value.
Analog [000…100]
This models the instability of an analog system by adding
subtle randomization to the oscillator and filter frequencies.
The PCM Oscillator, each VPM Oscillator, and Filters A and
B each receive different random values, and the values are
different for each new note as well.
Pitch AMS [List of AMS Sources]
This selects an AMS source to modulate the pitch of all
oscillators simultaneously. For a list of AMS sources, see
“Alternate Modulation Source (AMS) List” on page 901.
