2–2: OSC1 Pitch
This page contains all of the settings for Oscillator 1’s pitch
modulation. For example, you can:
• Set up pitch bend from Joystick X (with separate settings
for bending up and bending down).
• Use Pitch Slope to control how the pitch changes when
you play up and down the keyboard.
• Set up Portamento.
• Assign AMS modulation for pitch.
• Set up initial amounts of pitch modulation from the Pitch
EG and LFO1/2, as well as AMS modulation of LFO and
EG amounts.
2–2a: Pitch
Pitch Slope [–1.0…+2.0]
Normally, this should be set to the default of +1.0.
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.
Pitch Slope, pitch, and note
JS (+X) [–60…+12]
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.
For example, if you set this to +12 and move the joystick all
the way to the right, the pitch will rise one octave above the
original pitch.
JS (–X) [–60…+12]
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.
For example, if you set this to –60 and move the joystick all
the way to the left, the pitch will fall five octaves below the
original pitch. You can use this to create guitar-style
downward swoops.
AMS (Pitch) [List of AMS Sources]
This selects a modulation source to control the pitch. For a
list of AMS sources, see “Alternate Modulation Source
(AMS) List” on page 901.
Intensity [–12.00…+12.00]
This controls the depth and direction of the pitch
modulation, in semitones. When this is set to “12.00,” the
pitch will change over one octave.
2–2b: Pitch EG
Intensity [–12.00…+12.00]
This controls the initial effect of the Pitch EG on Oscillators
1’s frequency, in half-steps, before any AMS modulation.
The Pitch EG’s shape can swing all the way from +99 to –
99. When the Intensity is set to a positive (+) value, positive
values from the EG raise the pitch, and negative values
lower the pitch.
