• Sustain slider: Sets a level that is held until the MIDI note is released.
• Release slider: Sets the time it takes to reach a level of zero, after the MIDI note has
been released.
• Modulator Pitch knob: Determines the impact of the modulation envelope on the pitch
of the modulator oscillator.
• Turn the knob clockwise to increase the effect of the modulation envelope. Turn the
knob counter-clockwise to invert the effect of the modulation envelope: the envelope
slopes down during the attack phase, and slopes up during the decay and release
time phases.
• At the center (0) position, the envelope has no effect on the pitch of the Modulator
oscillator. Click the “0” to center the Modulator Pitch knob.
• FM Depth knob: Determines the impact of the modulation envelope on FM intensity.
• Turn the knob clockwise to increase the effect of the modulation envelope. Turn the
knob counter-clockwise to invert the effect of the modulation envelope: the envelope
slopes down during the attack phase, and slopes up during the decay and release
time phases.
• At the center (0) position, the envelope has no effect on FM intensity. Click the “0”
to center the FM Depth knob.
• LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) knob: Determines the amount of modulation applied to
FM intensity or pitch.
• Turn the LFO knob clockwise to increase the effect of the LFO on FM Intensity. Turn
it counter-clockwise to introduce a vibrato.
• At the center (0) position the LFO has no effect. Click the “0” to center the LFO knob.
• Rate knob: Sets the speed of the LFO.
Adjusting Global EFM1 Parameters
The global parameters are used to set the tuning, number of voices and other aspects of
the EFM1’s overall sound.
• Transpose pop-up menu: Sets the base pitch. You can transpose the EFM1 by octaves
with this control.
