Quick-Start
If you are eager to start making music with Mono right now, this couple of
pages should get you started.
Panel Layout
Synthesis section
A
Oscillator section :
2 oscillators with quantized frequency, bipolar
detune and continuously variable waveform controls. Mod section with
Thru-Zero Frequency Modulation (TZFM) and hard-sync from oscillator
1 to oscillator 2.
B
Mixer section :
set oscillators level. Above a certain oscillator level,
the filter will softly saturate said oscillator, resulting in interesting
timbres.
C
Filter section :
state Variable Filter with cutoff, resonance,
continuously variable state, and bipolar envelope amount controls, as
well as a keyboard tracking “Follow” switch. Filter is self-resonant at
maximum resonance.
D
Main envelope :
a classic ADSR envelope. It is rettringering,
meaning a new note will restart the cycle.
E
Output volume :
pretty self-explanatory, although it’s a digital control
so it can also be modulated (Audio rate amplitude modulation ? Oh
yes.)
F
X-Modulator :
parameter-dedicated modulation oscillators with 4
types - low frequency, low frequency synced, audio-rate, audio-rate
quantized -, 4 waves - sine, triangle, square, sawtooth-, rate control
and bipolar amount control.
G
X-Envelope :
parameter-dedicated AD envelope with attack, decay,
and amount controls.
Each of the 20 synthesizer parameters have their own dedicated X-Mod
and X-Env (even sync and follow). To access it, just gently move the knob of
the parameter you want to select and the parameter LED will turn on.
