reface dX features four operators. twelve algorithms
ensure variable interconnections of the operators to each
other. such an algorithm is shown in the display like this
example:
so the functional diagram of fM looks like this:
for each operator
a separately control-
able feedback is
available.
a newly developed
feedback process
provides two shapes of feedback, square and sawtooth.
with a controllability between
0-127 each individual operator
can already be assigned an
individual sound character.
memorY &
operating ConCept
reface dX is equipped with a Voice memory which is
organised into four Banks with eight Voices each.
the four Banks are sequentially selected using the Bank
button, the buttons 1-8 select the respective Voice. all
32 memory slots contain a Voice on delivery. these are
overwritten when you save your own creations. Using a
factory reset you can restore those "factory Presets". of
course there is a module for reface dX within the capture
app, making data exchange possible.
Between display and Bank section the fM keypad can
be found. this section gives justice to the generic term
"Quick edit". Here it's child's play to explore the "research
area" fM. the link between the touch panel and the
display is perfectly implemented. addictive potential:
extremely high!
the buttons of the fM keypad allow direct access to the
following parameters:
[FREQ] - Frequency selection for each Operator
[LEVEL] - Volume for each Operator
[ALGO] - Selection of the Algorithm
[FB] - Feedback Level and Shape for each Operator
