Opening or Closing the Filter using the Modulation Wheel
(Menu Page 6)
The filter Cut off frequency may be raised (opening the filter) or low-
ered (closing the filter) directly from the modulation wheel using this
menu option.
Positive values from 1 to 63 will open the Filter when the wheel is
pushed forward. A negative values from -1 to -64 will close the Filter
when the wheel is pushed forward.
Filter Frequency Modulation from LFO 2 using the Modulation
Wheel (Menu Page 7)
Enables LFO 2 to modulate the Cutoff FREQUENCY of the Filter,. The
popular ‘wow-wow’ effect will be heard if LFO 2 waveform is set to
Triangle.
A positive value 1 to 63 will open the filter in time with LFO 2 above the
basic Cut off frequency. A negative value -1 to -64 will close the filter in
time with LFO 2 below the basic Cut off frequency.
Using a high value and setting LFO 2 to different waveforms will intro-
duce dramatic effects when moving the modulation wheel.
Control of Main Volume from the Modulation Wheel (Menu Page 8)
By routing the Modulation wheel to the amplifier, the overall volume of
the sound may be controlled. Positive values of 1 to 63 increase the
output volume of the Amp Envelope as the Modulation Wheel is
pushed forwards. Negative values from -1 to -64 decrease the output
volume of the Amp Envelope as the Modulation Wheel is pushed for-
wards. At a setting of 0, the wheel will have no effect.
To complement the front panel controls in the Arpeggiator section,
there are many other functions located in the Arpeggiator Menu. This is
selected by pressing the keypad ‘0’ button when the K-Station is in
Menu Mode. Use the PAGE up/down buttons to scroll through the
Menu functions available - See table below.
Pattern (Menu Page 1)
This determines the Arpeggio pattern played by the Arpeggiator. There
are six types of pattern available :
Up
The arpeggio starts at the lowest note played and sweeps up through
the notes until it reaches the highest note. It then starts at the bottom
again and repeats the sequence.
Down
The arpeggio starts at the highest note played and sweeps down
through the notes until it reaches the lowest note. It then starts at the
top again and repeats the sequence.
Up/Down
The arpeggio starts at the lowest note played and sweeps up through
the notes until it reaches the highest note. It then sweeps back down.
This is useful when playing three notes in songs with a 3/4 time signa-
ture.
Up/Down - end repeat
The arpeggio starts at the lowest note played, plays it twice, and
sweeps up through the notes until it reaches the highest note. It then
plays the top note again and sweeps back down.
Order Played
The arpeggio plays the notes in the order they were played on the key-
board. Once at the end of the notes played it repeats the sequence.
Random
Notes played will be arpeggiated in a random order.
Octave Range (Menu Page 2)
Sets how many octaves the Arpeggio pattern will sweep through. The
sweep range is selectable from 1 to 4 octaves.
Gate Time (Menu Page 3)
Sets the gate time or duration of the notes being played by the
Arpeggiator. Small values of gate time produce a Staccato effect.
Large values produce a Legato effect. Anticlockwise and the gate time
is very short, clockwise and the gate time is long.
Latch (Menu Page 4)
When activated, remembers notes played on the keyboard, even after
the notes have been released.
Once all notes on the keyboard have been released, the next chord to
be played on the keyboard will clear the existing latch memory and
only the newly played chord will be arpeggiated.
Note : It is possible to control the Arpeggiator Latch On/Off from an
external Computer/Sequencer/Keyboard. Transmit MID CC 64
(Sustain) with a value of 127 to turn the Arpeggiator latch ON and
transmit controller number 64 with a value of 0 to turn the latch OFF.
Keysync (Menu Page 5)
When activated, the arpeggio pattern will re-start whenever a new note
is played on the keyboard.
Sync Type (Menu Page 6)
Allows the Arpeggiator to be synchronized with an external sequencer.
A range of synchronization values are available :
When a sync interval is selected, the tempo of the Arpeggiator is con-
trolled by the Arpeggiator TEMPO knob when MIDI Clock Source is
set to INT, or by the external sequencer’s tempo when MIDI Clock
Source is set to EXT. See Page 35 for information on setting the
Global MIDI Clock Source.
