Oscillator Mixer (OSC MIX) Section
In the Oscillator Mixer section you control
the volumes of the three oscillators. If an
oscillator volume dial is turned fully coun-
terclockwise, no signal is passed. The LED
below the dial doesn’t light up.
Level Osc 1 / Osc 2 / Osc 3
Determines the volume of the corresponding
oscillator.
Glide Section
Press the
On
button to activate the Glide
effect. ‘Glide’ or ‘Portamento’ describes the
continuous gliding from one note to
another. This effect can be created on fret-
less stringed instruments or some brass
instruments (e.g. trombone). It is very
common on synthesizers and used throug-
hout all music styles. Please note that Glide
affects the pitch of all oscillators.
Rate
Use
Rate
to determine the glide time. Low values will give
a short glide time in a range of milliseconds that gives a
special character to the sound. Higher values will result in
a long glide time of up to several seconds which can be
useful for solo and effect sounds.
Type
Press this button to switch between two Glide modes:
•
Onset
means that a continuous glide is performed on
all new notes.
•
Legato
means that a continuous glide is performed
only when notes are played legato. Staccato played no-
tes start on the exact pitch of their note.
