menu 1. feedback, algorithm and
velocity control
menu 1 gives you access to important parameters that shape the sound of your FM
synthesizer. this menu has two submenus
once you press the right switch you enter the first submenu. in this submenu 1 the left
knob controls the feedback or the degree of modulation of operator 1 to itself, adding
complexity and depth to your sound.
the right knob lets you choose the algorithm or how the operators interact with each
other. modulators are the operators that modulate the carriers, which are the operators
you can hear. choosing the right algorithm can completely transform the character of
your sound.
if you select the second submenu with the right knob and press the right switch you
enter the velocity control submenu. here the right knob controls the on/off switch for
MIDI velocity-controlled operators. this allows you to shape the sound based on how hard
you play the keys, adding expressiveness to your performance.
