(2)
Coarse
Function
Set the approximate frequency (pitch)
Settings
0.5 – 27.57 in ratio mode, 8 – 32640 in fix mode.
Explanation
This determines the approximate pitch produced by
the operator. (Make exact settings using the next item,
(3) Fine.)
Note:
For fix mode, the "range", and the "shift", setting give
you additional control over the range of the fixed
frequency. See page 44.
(3) Fine
Function
Set the exact frequency (pitch).
Settings
0.5 – 27.57 in ratio mode, 8 – 32640 in fix mode.
Explanation
This adjusts the exact pitch produced by the operator.
(The size of each step will depend on the frequency
range selected by the coarse setting.)
(4)
Wave
Function
Select the wave produced by each operator.
Settings
W1 – W8
Explanation
Select one of the following eight waves.
(5) Detune
Function
Make fine adjustments in the pitch of each operator.
Settings
– 3 ~ + 3
Explanation
When this is set to 0, the operator will produce the
exact pitch indicated by the coarse and fine frequency
settings. Detune allows you to make fine adjustments
in the pitch of each operator. The exact range will
differ for different pitches, but in the case of C3, a
detune setting of -3 results in a pitch change of -2.6
cents, and a setting of +3 results in a pitch change
of +2.6 cents. (1 cent is 1/100 of a half step.)
By setting slight differences in the pitch of oper-
ators, you can create chorusing effects to broaden the
sound.
Note:
Detune is intended to create differences in
the relative
pitches of the operators. Setting all operators to the
same detune setting is not very useful.
(6) Shift
Function
In “fix” mode, select a broad frequency range.
Settings
LO, HI
Explanation
When LO is selected, the fix range will be
1Hz – 100Hz. When HI is selected, the fix range will
be 255Hz – 32KHz.
(7) Range
Function
In “fix” mode, select a frequency range.
Settings
When shift = LO, 1Hz- 100Hz, when shift = HI,
255Hz – 32KHz
Explanation
When shift is set to LO, a range of 1Hz – 100H can
be selected. When shift is set to HI, a range of
255Hz – 32KHz can be selected.
Envelope generator (AR,
D1R, D2L, D2R, RR, shift)
Press (EG).
The envelope generator changes the output level of each
operator over time, and creates changes in volume and
tone from the time the note is played to when the sound
disappears. Two words are especially important to un-
derstand when setting the envelope generator.
Rate ..... The speed of change from one level to another
level.
Level .... An output level.
