LIST/ORGANIZE
To display a list view of the Sample Synth samples, or to change the order in which they are
stored, use the LIST/ORGANIZE functions:
1 Press SHIFT while turning the SAMPLE SELECT dial to enter LIST mode and display a list view
of the samples. Turn the dial to navigate through the list.
2 Hold down VALUE to enter ORGANIZE mode and enable moving the selected sample to a
different location. Two arrows indicate that turning the dial will move the sample up or down
the list.
3 Release the VALUE button to drop the selected sample at the desired location. Navigate to
a different sample in the list and repeat from step 2. Press EXIT to leave the LIST/ORGANIZE
view.
EFFECTS 1
Effects 1 offers Tremolo, Pan, Wah and
Ring Modulator effects. The RATE knob sets
the rate of each effect, or in case of the
Wah the frequency of the peak resonant
filter.
TREM (Tremolo) is an effect which modu-
lates the volume of the sound at a variable
rate. The effect has three selectable depths
ranging from moderate to more dramatic
volume modulation. The Rate range is
0-10.
The PAN effect provides a cyclic panning
modulation that smoothly moves the sig-
nal between the left and right sides of the
stereo image. There are three different Pan
settings, ranging from small to full amounts
of panning. The Rate can be varied be-
tween 0-10,5 Hz.
The WAH effect consists of a resonant low-
pass filter, which can be swept across the
frequency range, using the Rate control.
The effect is sensitive to the volume of the
sound, which means that the velocity with
which you play determines the amount of
“Quack” achieved. The Rate range is 0-10.
At slow rates, the RM - Ring Modulator - effect has a Tremolo-like quali-
ty. Higher rates will give an increasingly inharmonic, metallic sound. The
pitch, or rate of the effect is controlled with the Rate control, and ranges
from 0-10.
The CTRL PED function lets you control any of these effects using a
Control Pedal. For the Tremolo and Pan effects, the pedal will alter the
effect amount, whereas the Ring Modulator will have its rate altered
when using the pedal. The Wah effect - just like a real Wah Wah pedal -
has its filter frequency altered by the position of the pedal.
EFFECTS 2
Effects 2 provides a selection of modulation
effects, including two types of Phaser, a
Flanger, two Chorus types and a Vibe ef-
fect. Each effect has its rate altered by the
RATE control.
The PHASER effect produces a characteris-
tic sweeping, or “phasing” sound. There are
two Phaser types to chose from and the
Rate range is 0-10,5 Hz.
The FLANGER effect will give any sound
source a “swooshy” and resonant quality.
Its Rate range is 0-10,5 Hz.
The versatile CHORUS effect gives the
impression of slighthly widening, or with
more extreme settings severely detuning
the sound. There are two Chorus types, the
second being more bold in character. The
Rate can be varied between 0-2,7 Hz.
The classic VIBE effect produces a sound
with both pitch-bending and phasing qual-
ities. The Rate of this effect has a range of
0-10,5 Hz.
The Effects 2 section has an additional
DEEP mode, which will give each effect a more pronounced character.
