Glide
The SUNSYN has a glide feature. What self-respecting synth would be caught without one?
This changes the pitch between two successively played keys changes without steps. The
duration of the pitch change depends on the distance between the two successively played
keys. If the two tones are near eachother, the pitch will be reached faster than when the two
tones are far from eachother.
By pressing the
(Glide)
-button, the Glide function is activated. The
(Intensity)
-knob sets the
time in which the pitch change takes place over.
You can reach to further parameters through a menu (these features aren’t implemented yet)
1. Press the
(Menu)
-button until the display shows:
2. Press the
(Soft Button) < Edit >
two times.
3. Press the
(Soft Button) < Glide >.
4. Leave the Glide menu by pressing
(Menu)
-button or by pressing
the
(Exit/Cancel)
-button several times.
VCF Filter
The filter is the central element for sound creation in most synthesizers. It influences the
sonic characteristics of all signals. Additional modules like envelopes and LFO’s can be used to
change the sound dynamically in relation ot the filters. With the help of the filter, a sound is
”carved“ out of the raw signal of the oscillators, etc. The filter layout determines the sound and
character of a synthesizer to a considerable degree. The SUNSYN filter distinguishes itself
from other filter designs by providing exceptional flexibility. To explain its possibilities, we’ll
first explain the way filters work in general.
Principle:
A filter is used to remove frequency ranges (and thus harmonics) out of a signal. This
changes the sound. You can define what frequency ranges are filtered out and by what amount,
therefore, you define the characteristics and type of filter by what you’re doing with them.
Lowpass:
Filters out high frequencies and lets low frequencies pass.
Hi(gh)pass:
Filters out low frequencies and lets high frequencies pass
