PRESET PROGRAMMING
FUNCTION GENERATOR
The Function Generator is another kind of modulation source which is
much more programmable than an envelope generator or an LFO
although it can function as either. The function generator can be used
when you want the type of complex control that a normal AHDSR
envelope cannot handle. Refer to the diagram below.
The function generator can have up to eight segments, each with a
Level and a Time parameter. The level parameter can be either positive
or negative. Each segment of the function generator can also have a
different
Shape . There are 63 different shapes to choose from, many of
which have unusual shapes or are random in nature.
The function generator also has the ability to jump from one segment
to another based on certain programmable conditions. For example,
the function generator could be programmed to jump back to segment
5 if the key is held, but jump to segment 8 whenever the key is
released.
