Synth [SYN]
The Axe-Fx II
Synth
block contains a three-voice monophonic
synthesizer that can be used as a tone generator or to track the pitch
of your playing for synth leads with a guitar or other instrument. Each
voice has its own resonant filter and may be set to produce any of
seven different oscillator waveforms. The global ADSRs or LFOs may be
used to modulate a variety of functions. Each Axe-Fx II preset can use
two fully independent
Synth
blocks.
Parameters
The synth has three voices, each with the following parameters:
TYPE
– Sets the waveform to Sine, Triangle, Square, Sawtooth, Random, White Noise, or Pink Noise.
TRACK
– Selects the type of input tracking.
OFF
– Allows the frequency and level to be set manually via the FREQ and LEVEL controls.
ENV ONLY
– Selects the level to be controlled by the envelope while frequency is set manually.
PITCH+ENV
– Selects the frequency and level to be controlled by the pitch and envelope of the input.
FREQ
– If input tracking is set to “OFF” or “ENV ONLY,” this parameter sets the oscillator frequency.
SHIFT
– Shifts the frequency of the oscillator up or down in semitone steps.
TUNE
– Detunes the oscillator slightly up to +/- 50 cents.
DUTY
– When using the TRIANGLE or SQUARE waveforms, this parameter controls the symmetry or pulse
width of the waveform.
LEVEL
– Controls the output level of the oscillator.
PAN
– Controls the panning of the oscillator.
FILTER
– Sets the cutoff frequency of a low-pass filter after the oscillator.
Q
– Sets the Q or resonance of the post-oscillator filter.
ATTACK
– Sets the attack time of the envelope follower on the input.
