TUNE (Osc 1 Tune) sets the tuning of oscillator 1. Value 0 corresponds to note C-2.
DET (Osc 2 Detune) sets the tuning of oscillator 2, relative to oscillator 1.
DEC1 (Osc 1 Decay) sets the decay time of oscillator 1 level.
DEC2 (Osc 2 Decay) sets the decay time of oscillator 2 level.
CNFG (Osc Config) selects the waveforms and interaction of the two oscillators. There are two
dierent waveforms for oscillator 1 (sine, sinesaw) and five dierent waveforms for oscillator 2 (sine,
skewed sine, triangle, sinesaw, saw).
“+” = Mixes the oscillators.
“R” = Ring modulation.
“FM” = Frequency modulation (linear) with osc 1 as the carrier. (Does not pitch track 100% correct)
“F+R” = Frequency modulation (linear) and Ring modulation (Does not pitch track 100% correct)
Waveforms that begins with a small square = The oscillators are reset when trigged.
BEND (Bend) sets the depth of a fixed time pitch envelope and increases the volume of a short
transient.
BAL (Balance) controls the levels of the two oscillators. At a value of 0, both are 50%. Negative values
attenuate oscillator 2. Positive values attenuate oscillator 1.
OVER (Overdrive) sets the gain amount into the analog overdrive.
MIDI
The parameters for the MIDI machine are split over the SYN, FLTR and AMP PARAMETER pages.
MIDI (SYN page)
Here you can set the MIDI channel that the MIDI machine should use to send data. Bank and program
change values are also set here, together with a few standard CC parameters. The default value of
the parameters on this page is OFF, meaning they are disabled and do not send out any data. Press
and hold [FUNC] and then press the DATA ENTRY knobs to enable them. You can then use the DATA
ENTRY knobs to set the parameter values as usual. Disable the parameters again by repeating the
activation procedure.
Press [SYN] once to access this parameter page.
CHAN (Channel) sets the MIDI channel the track sends MIDI data to. If you set this parameter to
OFF, it turns the MIDI track o. Please note that this parameter cannot be parameter locked. (OFF,
1–16)
BANK (Bank) sends a bank change message on CC 0 MSB. (OFF, 1–128)
SBNK (Sub Bank) sends a bank change message on CC 32 LSB. (OFF, 1–128)
PROG (Program Change) sends a Program Change message. (OFF, 1–128)
PB (Pitch Bend) controls the pitch bend data sent on the MIDI track. (OFF, 128.00–128.00)
AT (Aftertouch) controls the aftertouch data sent on the MIDI track. (OFF, 0–127)
MW (Mod Wheel) controls the modulation wheel data sent on the MIDI track. (OFF, 0–127)
BC (Breath Controller) controls the breath control data sent on the MIDI track. (OFF, 0–127)
