Edit the Tone of the Synthesizer
Now, let’s try editing sounds on the miniKORG700s Software synthesizer.
Using the Traveler controller
The Traveler is a type of tone controller that controls how much over-
tone to apply. This controller is designed so that the upper-side slider
cuts higher overtones than the slider position, and the lowerside slider
cuts lower overtones than the slider position. Combining these functions
produces a tone that emphasizes overtones between the upper-side and
lower-side sliders.
TIP If you minutely move the slider from left to right while performing,
it will create a tremolo effect. If you move the slider significantly, it
will produce a swelling sound. If you move the slider synchronously
with keying, wah and mute effects will be created.
Attack control and percussion
The attack control is used to adjust the rising time of the sound
using the slider. The percussion/singing control is used to adjust
the tone decay after producing a sound, using the slider.
Using the arpeggiator
This instrument has an arpeggiator function. To set the arpeggiator,
follow the procedure described below.
1. Switch the ARP switch on the front panel to ON.
2. In ARPEGGIATOR MODE, select the arpeggiator type.
• Arpeggiator types
UP: The arpeggio goes up from the lowest note you play to the
highest note, and repeats.
DOWN: The arpeggio goes down from the highest note you play to
the lowest one, and repeats.
ALT1: The arpeggio goes up from the lowest note you play to the
highest note, and then goes back down.
ALT2: Both the highest and lowest notes played in ALT1 play twice.
RANDOM: The notes you play will sound in random order.
SINGLE: The last note you play is played repeatedly (same as the
original synth).
MANUAL: The arpeggio plays in the order that you played the keys.
3. In ARPEGGIATOR RANGE, select the range over which the arpeg-
giator sounds.
