The Operator module consists of a sine-

wave oscillator in combination with a

Level & Rate amplitude envelope gener-

ator and a keyboard level scaler. The Op-

erator module has the same functionality

as an ‘operator’ in the well-known DX7

synthesizer. Several Operator modules

can be used together with the DXRouter

module to form a six operator FM syn-

thesis engine. See page 168 for example.

/F/F

Select Ratio to set the frequency as a mul-

tiple relative to the input value on the

Pitch input. Select Fixed to set the fre-

quency as a fixed number of Hz relative

to the Pitch input value. If the KBT button is on, the value is relative to the note played on the keyboard

(or received via MIDI). If KBT is not active and no Pitch modulation is present, the value is relative to

the note E4.

Here you can fine adjust the pitch in even smaller steps than with the Fine knob. Range -7 to 7.

FM FM

A modulator connected to the FM input will modulate the operator frequency in a linear fashion.

PM PM

Input for pitch modulation. An input value of +32 units will generate zero modulation. An input value

of 0 units will generate 0 Hz pitch output from the Operator and an input value of +64 units will generate

a pitch twice as high as the Operator pitch. If left unconnected, the modulation will be zero.

Select velocity sensitivity with the arrow buttons for the velocity signal received at the Vel input. Range

0-7 where 7 is the highest sensitivity.

Select the envelope rate scaling with the arrow buttons for the note signals received at the Note input.

Range 0-7. The higher the RateScale value, the faster the envelope rates at higher notes.

A signal at the Gate input will gate the envelope.

A signal present at the Note input will affect all the rates of the envelope if the RateScale value is higher

than 0 (see above). It will also affect the Keyboard Level Scaler (see below).

R1-R4 & L1-L4

R1-R4 & L1-L4R1-R4 & L1-L4

R1-R4 & L1-L4

Here you set the rates (R) and Levels (L) of the envelope. The lower the Rate values, the longer it will

take for the envelope to reach the next Level. L3 is the level at which the envelope will sustain. Note that
