Event page
The Event page is opened by clicking the EVENT button
at the top of the lower half of the control panel. This page
contains the most common MIDI controllers and their re-
spective assignments.
The following controllers are available:
To assign any of these controllers to one or several pa-
rameters, proceed as follows:
1. Click in the “Mod Dest” box for one of the controllers.
A pop-up menu appears in which all possible modulation destinations
are shown. All Sound parameters as well as most LFO and Envelope pa
-
rameters are available as destinations.
2. Select a destination.
The selected modulation destination is now shown in the list. Beside the
destination, a default value (50) has been set. The value represents the
modulation amount when the controller is at its full range.
• You can set positive and negative modulation values by
clicking on the value in the list, typing in a new value and
pressing the [Enter] key.
To enter negative values type a minus sign followed by the value.
3. Using the same basic method, you can add any num-
ber of modulation destinations for the controllers.
They are all listed in the “Mod Dest” box for the respective controller.
• To remove a modulation destination click on its name in
the list and select “Off” from the pop-up menu.
Effects (EFX) page
This page features three separate effect units: Distortion,
Delay and Modulation (Phaser/Flanger/Chorus). The Ef-
fect page is opened by clicking the EFX button at the top
of the lower half of the control panel.
• Each separate effect section is laid out with a row of
buttons that determine the effect type or characteristic
and a row of sliders for making parameter settings.
• To activate an effect, click the “Active” button so that a
dot appears.
Clicking again deactivates the effect.
Distortion
You can select between 4 basic distortion characteristics:
• Distortion provides hard clipping distortion.
• Soft Distortion provides soft clipping distortion.
• Tape Emulation produces distortion similar to magnetic tape
saturation.
• Tube Emulation produces distortion similar to valve amplifiers.
The parameters are as follows:
Delay
You can select between 3 basic delay characteristics:
• Stereo Delay has two separate delay lines panned left and right.
• In Mono Delay the two delay lines are connected in series for
monophonic dual tap delay effects.
• In Cross Delay the delayed sound bounces between the stereo
channels.
Controller Description
Modulation
Wheel
The modulation wheel on your keyboard can be used to
modulate parameters.
Velocity Velocity is used to control parameters according to how
hard or soft you play notes on your keyboard. A common
application of velocity is to make sounds brighter and
louder if you strike the key harder.
Aftertouch Aftertouch, or channel pressure, is MIDI data sent when
pressure is applied to a keyboard after the key has been
struck, and while it is being held down or sustained. Af
-
tertouch is often routed to control filter cutoff, volume,
and other parameters to add expression. Most (but not
all) MIDI keyboards send Aftertouch.
Key Pitch
Tracking
This can change parameter values linearly according to
where on the keyboard you play.
Parameter Description
Filter This parameter sets the crossover frequency of the dis-
tortion filter. The distortion filter consists of a low pass fil-
ter and a high pass filter with a cutoff frequency equal to
the crossover frequency.
Tone This parameter controls the relative amount of low pass
and high-pass filtered signal.
Drive Sets the amount of distortion by amplifying the input signal.
Level This controls the output level of the effect.
