OSC 2 to 3 FM Manual Level (Menu Page 7 ‘OSC 23 FM Level’)
Controls the amount that Oscillator 3 is directly Frequency Modulated
by Oscillator 2. Whilst playing a note, adjust this value by using the
PERF / PROG / DATA knob. Notice that increasing amounts of modula-
tion level make the sound more metallic.
OSC 2 to 3 FM Amount from AD envelope
(Menu Page 8 ‘OSC 2>3 FMADEnv’)
Many sounds have complex harmonic movements at the start of the
sound. Introducing envelope modulation with a fast attack and decay
time to control the FM amount will simulate this fast changing harmonic
effect.
There is a dedicated Envelope - See below - that can be applied to
control the FM amount between the oscillators 2 and 3.
The amount of modulation from the envelope can be adjusted by using
the DATA / VALUE knob. Notice how the ‘spit’ at the beginning of the
sound may be accentuated. Experiment with Oscillator 2’s pitch using
the OCTAVE button and the SEMITONE and DETUNE knobs.
Adjusting the AD Envelope Attack and Decay Times
Changing the AD Envelope attack and decay times (which is used as
the FM modulation envelope) is done by selecting the AD Envelope
using the AMP / MOD / ENV 3 button and using the ATTACK & DECAY
sliders as described on Page 40.
OSC 2 to 3 FM Amount from LFO 1
(Menu Page 9 ‘OSC 2>3 FM Lfo1’)
Allows the FM amount between Oscillators 2 and 3 to be modulated by
LFO 1.
Osc Fixed Note Replay (Menu Page 10 ‘OSC Fixed Note’)
Rather than playing chromatically across the keyboard (as is the usual
case), a sound may be set to just play a fixed note - pitch - when ANY
note is played from the Keyboard or when triggered from an incoming
MIDI note on event.
Use the DATA / VALUE knob to change the pitch of the sound. If
desired, save the sound in the normal way.
The Mixer Menu
To complement the Mixer LEVEL controls in the Osc / Mixer section,
there are other Mixer functions located within the Mixer Menu.
This is selected by pressing the GATE button in the
Amp Env section on the front panel. Use the BANK /
PAGE up/down buttons to scroll through the Menu func-
tions available - See the table below.
Overall Mixer Level (Menu Page 1 ‘MIXER Out Level’)
Sets the audio output level of the mixer. Here the level of the pre-
effects signal can be boosted or cut. It is sometimes useful to adjust
this setting if the synth patch is exceptionally quiet or is distorting while
being processed by the Effects.
It is likely that if a monophonic factory sound is changed to polyphonic
sound that playing more than one note at a time will cause the effects
processor to clip. In this situation reduce the mixer level.
LFO1 to OSC 1 Level Mod (Menu Page 2 ‘MIXER Lfo1>Osc1’)
Controls the amount of modulation applied from LFO 1 to Oscillator 1.
The amount of modulation from the LFO is adjusted by using the DATA
/ VALUE knob. At a central setting of 0, no modulation is applied.
LFO2 to OSC 1 Level Mod (Menu Page 3 ‘MIXER Lfo2>Osc1’)
Controls the amount of modulation applied from LFO 2 to Oscillator 1.
The amount of modulation from the LFO is adjusted by using the DATA
/ VALUE knob. At a central setting of 0, no modulation is applied.
LFO2 to OSC 2 Level Mod (Menu Page 2 ‘MIXER Lfo2>Osc2’)
Controls the amount of modulation applied from LFO 1 to Oscillator 2.
The amount of modulation from the LFO is adjusted by using the DATA
/ VALUE knob. At a central setting of 0, no modulation is applied.
A/D Env to OSC 3 Level (Menu Page 5 ‘MIXER ADenv>Osc3’)
Controls the amount of modulation applied from the AD Envelope to
Oscillator 3. The amount of modulation is adjusted by using the DATA /
VALUE knob. At a central setting of 0, no modulation is applied.
