CRAVE Controls CRAVE Controls
Oscillator (VCO) Section
(1)
FREQUENCY - adjust the frequency of the oscillator,
approximately one octave either side of center.
(2)
PULSE WIDTH - adjust the pulse width of the
oscillator (when in pulse mode) from narrow, to square
(center position), to wide.
(3)
SHAPE
- select the waveform of the oscillator from pulse
or reverse sawtooth.
(4)
OSC MOD - select the depth of modulation applied to
the oscillator.
(5)
MOD SOURCE - select the modulation source from the
envelope (or an external modulation source), or the LFO.
(6)
MIX - adjust the mix between the VCO output and the
internal noise generator. If an external audio input is used,
then this is added to the mix, instead of the noise.
(7)
MOD DEST - select the modulation destination from pulse
width modulation, or frequency modulation.
Filter (VCF) Section
(8)
CUTOFF - adjust the cuto
ff frequency of the filter.
(9)
MODE
- select the VCF filter from low-pass or high-pass.
(10)
RESONANCE
- adjust the amount of enhancement given
to the signals at the cutoff frequency.
(11)
MOD SOURCE
- select the modulation source of the VCF
from the envelope generator or the LFO
(12)
VCF MOD - adjust the depth of VCF modulation.
(13)
MOD POLARITY
- select the polarity of the VCF modulation.
Output (VCA) Section
(14)
VOLUME
- adjust the overall synthesizer output level.
(15)
VCA MODE
- select envelope, and the VCA is modulated by
the envelope. In the ON position, the VCA output is the last
key played, and is independent of envelope.
Envelope Section
(16)
ATTACK
- control the amount of time taken to reach the
maximum level after a key is pressed.
(17)
DECAY - control the amount of time taken to decay from
the current level to minimum.
(18)
SUSTAIN
- control the level of the envelope that is
sustained after the attack time has been reached.
(19)
SUSTAIN ON/OFF
- in the OFF position, the level will start
to decay after the attack time is over. In the ON position,
the sustain level will be held for as long as the key is held.
Modulation Section
(20)
LFO RATE
- adjust the frequency of the low frequency
oscillator. The LED wil
l flash at the LFO rate.
(21)
SHAPE - select the LFO waveform from squarewave or
triangular wave.
Utility Section
(22)
GLIDE
- adjust the amount of Glide time (Portamento),
between notes on the keyboard. (If SHIFT is held, then
the knob also adjusts the “ratchet” during sequencer
operation.)
(23)
VC MIX - adjust the VC MIX from LO/Mix 1 to HI/Mix 2.
This control requires patch cords to operate, as it is outside
of the internal sythesizer signal path.
Sequencer Section
(24)
TEMPO/GATE LENGTH - this controls the sequencer
and ARP tempo when the clock source is set to internal.
If USB or MIDI clock is used, it also controls the value of
clock division.
During step editing, it controls the gate length. If SHIFT is
held and sequencer played, then it also adjusts the swing.
If SHIFT is held and ARP played, then it also adjusts the
ARP gate length.
(25)
HOLD/REST - during pattern playback, this allows you to
hold the current step. During step editing, it allows you
to enter a rest. During ARP mode, it allows you to enter/
exit ARP-Hold mode. During keyboard use, it allows you to
hold the keys. (A footswitch connected to the HOLD input
will also do this.)
(26)
RESET/ACCENT - during playback, this allows you to reset
the pattern back to step 1. During step editing, you can
add an accent to a step.
(27)
ARP (SET END)
- In ARP mode, an arpeggio will play,
based on the held notes using the CRAVE’s 13 keyboard
switches. Double-press ARP, or press HOLD and ARP,
to play and hold an arpeggio. In Sequencer mode,
pressing SHIFT and SET END together, followed by a STEP
switch, will allow that step to become the end of the
current pattern.
(28)
PATTERN (BANK) - This button is used to access either the
current pattern, or bank number, as follows:
PATTERN : Press PATTERN, and one of the 8 LOCATION
LEDs will show the current pattern number (from 1 to
8). To change to a di
fferent pattern number, keep the
PATTERN button held down and press any of the STEP
buttons (1 to 8), or press <KYBD to decrease, or STEP> to
increase the pattern number.
BANK: Press SHIFT and PATTERN, and one of the 8
LOCATION LEDs will show the current bank number
(from 1 to 8). To change to a different bank number, keep
both SHIFT and BANK held down, and press any of the STEP
buttons (1 to 8), or press <KYBD to decrease, or STEP> to
hincrease the bank number.
