sound at all.) Also, since the cutoff frequency will change
depending on the key that you play, the noise will change.
The cutoff frequency will rise as you play higher notes, and
will fall as you play lower notes.
[2] RESONANCE:
This regulates the emphasis that is applied to the region at
the cutoff frequency. As the knob is rotated to the right, the
sound will have a greater sense of pitch. If the knob is rotat-
ed to the right all the way, a sine wave will result.
● Characteristics for high values of RESONANCE
When RESONANCE=127, a sine wave will result, produc-
ing a pitched sound. At this time, setting CUTOFF
FREQ=64 will cause the pitch to correspond to the key that
is played. As the CUTOFF FREQ value is changed in steps
of one, the pitch will change in semitone steps. You may
find it convenient to use the Edit Scope (p.64) to view the
value as you make settings.
■ FEEDBACK OSC (Feedback Oscillator)
This sound is similar to electric guitar feedback. It is suit-
able for creating hard and aggressive sounds that stand out.
* If FEEDBACK OSC is selected, SOLO SW [MONO] or
[LEGATO] will be turned on, and notes will play mono-
phonically. It will not be possible to turn off [MONO] or
[LEGATO]. Nor will it be possible to turn [UNISON] on.
[1] HARMONICS:
Vary the sound of the harmonics.
[2] FEEDBACK AMOUNT:
Adjust the amount of feedback to adjust the level of the har-
monics.
■ (Square wave)
This sound is similar to a woodwind instrument. It also
widely used in making typical “synthesizer” sounds.
[1] PULSE WIDTH:
Set the width (pulse width) of the square wave. As the knob
is rotated to the right, the pulse width will change, produc-
ing a sound with more overtones.
[2] PWM DEPTH:
The technique of applying LFO 1 (p.77) to the Pulse Width
is referred to as Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). PWM
Depth determines how greatly PWM will be applied. As the
knob is rotated to the right, Pulse Width will be modulated
more greatly, creating a broader and more “smeared”
sound.
■ (Sawtooth wave)
This waveform is used for nearly all instruments except for
woodwinds. Many sounds unique to synthesizers can be
created using this waveform.
[1] SHAPE:
Specify the degree to which the sawtooth wave will be
deformed. When the knob is at either end of its range, the
sound will have a strong fundamental, and will be suitable
for thick bass sounds etc. When the knob is in the center
position, the sound will be thin, as though an HPF were
applied to it.
[2] LFO 1 DEPTH:
When LFO 1 (p.77) is applied to Shape, this parameter spec-
ifies how greatly Shape will be affected. As the knob is
rotated to the right, Shape will be affected more greatly.
