Editing with the OPERATOR MIXER
In the OPERATOR MIXER section, you can use the RATIO OP 1–6 knobs to edit the pitch (RATIO)
parameters for each Operator, and the LEVEL OP 1–6 sliders to edit the output levels.
1.
Turn the PROGRAM knob to select a program to edit.
2.
Move the RATIO OP 1–6 knobs and the LEVEL OP 1–6 sliders of the OPERATOR MIXER.
e eect will change depending on whether the Operator you are editing is a carrier (the RATIO
knob LED will light up red) or a modulator (the RATIO knob LED will light up blue).
RATIO knob: Changes the pitch of each Operator. Mainly the pitch changes for carriers, and the
brightness of the sound or the position of harmonics changes for the modulators. Raising the
pitch of a modulator will emphasize the sparkling harmonics that are characteristic of FM tone
generators.
LEVEL slider: Change the output level of each Operator. e volume changes for carriers, and
the brightness of the sound or the strength of the harmonics changes for the modulators. When
the carrier is in FM mode and the output level of the modulator is brought way up, you can get a
heavily distorted sound that’s something like a distorted guitar.
Tip:
On sounds that use user algorithms, a single Operator may act as both a carrier and a
modulator. If this is the case, the LED on the RATIO knob will light up purple.
Note:
e eects of V.PATCH (→p.65) and MOTION SEQ (→p.31) can still be heard if the
LEVEL slider is set to “0”.
