Portamento

This parameter makes the pitch glide between the notes you play. The parameter

setting determines the time it takes for the pitch to glide from one note to the next.

Turn the knob clockwise for longer glide time.

The Mode switch allows you to apply glide only if you play a legato note. Legato

mode only works with monophonic parts.

Ring Modulation

Ring modulators multiply two audio signals. The ring-modulated output contains

added frequencies generated by the sum of, and the difference between, the

frequencies of the two signals. In Prologue, Osc 1 is multiplied with Osc 2 to

produce sum and difference frequencies. Ring modulation is often used to create

bell-like sounds.

• To hear the ring modulation, turn down the output level for Osc 1 and 2, and

turn up the R.Mod level all the way.

• If Osc 1 and 2 are tuned to the same frequency and no modulation is applied

to the Osc 2 pitch, nothing happens.

However, if you change the pitch of Osc 2, drastic changes in timbre can be

heard. If the oscillators are tuned to a harmonic interval, such as fifth or octave,

the ring modulated output sounds harmonic, other intervals produce

inharmonious, complex timbres.

• Deactivate oscillator sync when using ring modulation.

Noise Generator

A noise generator can be used for simulating drum sounds and breath sounds for

wind instruments, for example.

• To hear only the sound of the noise generator, turn down the output level for

the oscillators, and turn up the Noise parameter.

• The noise generator level is routed to Envelope 1 by default.
