GLIDE RATE

Glide Rate: 0...127—Sets the oscillator glide (portamento) amount.
Glide causes the pitch of a note to glide smoothly up or down from the
pitch of the previously played note. It can be set independently for each
oscillator. Low values are shorter/faster. The glide switch must be on to
hear t he effect of glide rate. For a detailed explanation, see “Glide” on
page 83.
Mixer
The Mixer section is where you set the levels of the various sound
generators on the Pro 3. These include oscillators 1-3, the noise genera-
tor, and an external input when connected to the rear panel input of the
Pro 3. You must turn up at least one of these sources in order to make
sound with the Pro 3. Alternatively, when using Low-pass 1 or Low-
pass 2, you can make the lter generate its own sine wave by turning up
resonance all the way so that it self-oscillates. The State-Variable lter
doesn’t self-oscillate.
Rather than limit the outputs of the Pro 3 to keep the instrument from clip-
ping, we allow you to adjust levels at various points in its signal path. This gives you
the option of “overloading” things in interesting ways, if you wish to do so. If not, try
reducing the levels of the oscillators in the mixer section, turning down the drive and
resonance parameters in the Filter section, or the amount parameter in the Amp Enve-
lope section.
