THE ORIGIN STRUCTURE

6.1

Overview of the global structure of Origin

The Origin synthesizer uses 2 different kinds of presets:

The Program preset

uses a modular structure as a base of its synthesis. This modular structure

allows you to easily create new and rich sounds, sequences and effects. These program presets can
be played by the step sequencer or the arpeggiator and be connected to up to three effect slots.

The Multi preset

allows you to assign up to four Programs for layering sounds, as well as to assign a

specific MIDI channel to each Program for four parts of multitimbral operation.

The global Origin architecture

6.2

The program preset

The Program preset includes the modular synthesis structure, which is the main part of the Origin
instrument. You can access this area by pressing the [EDIT] button, just below the LCD screen.

The modular synthesis structure allows venturing in one of the most powerful technology for sound
creation.

First, you can choose the basic audio modules:
