PROG LEVEL Knob
The value of this function adjusts the program output level. This is used to maintain a
consistent volume level, avoiding distortion throughout all sound programs. Delicate sounds
(such as those which use just one oscillator and closed filter settings) can be increased in
volume using this control. Conversely, sounds that use all oscillators and high polyphony (6 to
8 notes played at once), can be reduced in volume to avoid distortion. Using a mixing desk as a
comparison, this control can be thought of as the gain or trim control for the channel.
If a sound appears to be distorting unintentionally, especially when complex chords are being
played, reduce the value of this setting.
FM ATTACK Knob
When FM synthesis is being used, this value determines the FM Envelope’s Attack time.
Note : The FM Envelope is used only for FM synthesis and should not be confused with the
Amp or Mod Envelopes available on the V-Station’s MAIN panel.
FM DECAY Knob
When FM synthesis is being used (see Pages 23 and 24), this value determines the FM
Envelope’s Decay time.
Note : The FM Envelope is used only for FM synthesis and should not be confused with the
Amp or Mod Envelopes available on the V-Station’s MAIN panel.
