First of all, you need to create or open a Patch to be able to create
Patch parameter Variations. Let’s use the Patch we created in the
‘Getting Started’ chapter:
Locate the row of Variation buttons to the right of the Voice Mode arrow buttons at the top of the Patch
window. As you can see, the Variation 1 button is already focused. This is because as soon as you create
a Patch, you have automatically also created a Variation within that Patch. This Variation contains the
parameter data for the Patch. Now, to create more Variations, do like this:
1. Click on the Variation 2 button at the top of the Patch win-
dow. The Variation 2 button is focused to indicate it’s the
currently active Variation in the Patch
On the synth front panel, the
V
ARIATION
2 LED
lights up to
indicate it’s the focused Variation.
2. Change the settings on a couple of parameters in the Patch.
Note that modules that have a drop-down selector, for exam-
ple Oscillator C and LFO B, can only have one waveform for
all eight Variations. This is because when changing wave-
form in these types of modules, the Sound engine has to
recalculate the whole Patch the same way as if you replaced the entire module. If you want to have
different Oscillator or LFO waveforms in different Variations, use modules with radio button
selectors instead, e.g. Oscillator A and B and LFO A.
3. Click the Variation 1 button to focus Variation 1 again. On the synth front panel, the
V
ARIATION
1
LED
lights steadily to indicate it’s now in focus. As you can see, the parameters you changed in Var-
iation 2 now get their Variation 1 values again. You have now created two Variations in the Patch.
If you want to have more Variations in your Patch, click another Variation button and change parameter
settings. Each Patch contains eight different Variations. When you save your Patch (on your computer
or in the synth), all Variations will automatically be saved within the Patch.

All Variations are automatically saved when you save the Patch. You can’t save Variations as separate files.

To copy the parameter settings in one Variation to another in the
Patch, right-click the Variation button and select the destination
Variation from the pop-up window.

The last selection in the Copy pop-up window described above
is the ‘Var Init’. Here you can paste parameter values of a selected
Variation to be used as a “default” parameter setup for your
