Distortion
Sequential
To choose aftertouch (pressure) as a source for modulation:
1. In the modulation section, press the source button. Use the Soft Knob
1 to scroll to Mod Slot 1 if it’s not already displayed.
2. Use the Soft Knob 2 (source) to scroll through the various mod sources
and choose pressure.
3. Use the Soft Knob 4 (destination) to scroll through the various mod
destinations and choose a parameter (such as cutoff).
4. Hold down a note on the keyboard. Then, press harder.
5. Use Soft Knob 3 (amount) to set the amount to your preference. Higher
amount settings add greater modulation the harder you press a key. A
negative amount setting will apply modulation in the negative direc-
tion.
The Pro 3 provides four different aftertouch/pressure response settings. The
default setting provides a linear response. To choose a different response curve, use
the aftertouch curve parameter in the global menu.
Distortion
The Pro 3 features analog distortion which can be used to add warmth,
harmonic complexity, and an aggressive edge to sounds. The character of
the distortion is affected by the harmonic content of a program. Sounds
with more high-end will sound different than sounds with fewer harmon-
ics. To add distortion, use the front-panel distortion knob.
DISTORTION
Distortion: 0…127—Sets the distortion amount.
