The included VST instruments
• If you want to random calculate a spectrum filter curve,
you can choose the Randomize function from the Preset
pop-up menu.
Each time you choose this function, a new randomized spectrum appears.
Cut I and II
These work much like cutoff frequency controls on a con-
ventional filter: With the Cut controls at the maximum set-
ting, the full frequency range is used for the spectrum
filter; lowering the Cut controls gradually moves the entire
contour down in frequency, “closing” the filter. Please
note the following:
• If a 2 oscillator configuration is used, you can set differ-
ent “cutoffs” for the two oscillators with Cut I and Cut II,
respectively. Similarly, if more than two oscillators are
used, they are internally divided in two groups, for which
you can set independent “cutoffs” with Cut I and II.
For example, in the “6 Osc” modes Cut I affects the sound of oscillators
1, 3 and 5 while Cut II affects the sound of oscillators 2, 4 and 6. In the
“1 Osc” mode, the Cut II control is not used.
• If the Spectrum Sync (link symbol) button between the
Cut controls is activated, the two knobs are synced and
follow each other and are set to the same value.
Morph
This controls the mix between the sound of spectrum fil-
ters A and B. When the Morph knob is turned fully left,
only the “A” sound is heard; when it is turned right only the
“B” sound is heard. This allows you to seamlessly morph
(manually or using an LFO or an envelope) between two
totally different sounds.
Master Volume and Pan
The master Volume controls the master volume (amplitude)
of the instrument. By default this parameter is controlled by
Envelope 1, to generate an amplitude envelope for the os
-
cillators.
The Pan knob controls the position in the stereo spectrum
for the instrument. You can use Pan as a modulation des
-
tination.
Modulation and controllers
The lower half of the control panel displays the various
modulation and controller assignment pages available as
well as the effect page. You switch between these pages
using the buttons below the Morph section.
The following pages are available:
• The LFO page has two low frequency oscillators (LFOs)
for modulating parameters – see below.
• The Envelope page contains the four Envelope genera-
tors which can be assigned to control parameters – see
“Envelope page” on page 114.
• The Event page contains the common MIDI controllers
(Mod wheel, Aftertouch, etc.) and their assignments – see
“Event page” on page 116.
• The Effect page has three separate effect types avail-
able; Distortion, Delay, and Modulation – see “Effects
(EFX) page” on page 116.
