OSCILLATOR SECTION
When this knob is turned anticlockwise one click from the -1 oct 0 semi setting position the display shows:
Of course the upper data knob should alter octaves & scale the semitones appropriately. Similarly the semitone values of +/- 12
should be interpreted as octave shifts & the semitone value returned to 0.
The Cents knob will shift the selected oscillator up 63 cents when turned fully clockwise & down 64 cents when turned fully anti-
clockwise. These parameters are memorised with a Program.
Menu - Button ( Voice control section )
When this button is pressed a series of pages is available on the display containing parameters relevant to this section.
In the Oscillator section there are 5 pages available. These are selected using the page Up & page Down buttons to the left of the
display.
There are a maximum of 2 parameters displayed on any page. One for each line on the display. The upper & lower Data knobs on
the right of the display are used to alter these parameter’s values.
Page 1 looks like so:
The higher parameter is “Porta type”. In this case with a value of Glissando.
This parameter determines If the Portamento effect is smooth or stepped in semitones. Use the upper Data knob to adjust the
value of this parameter. In the Porta position the Portamento effect is smooth, notes glide smoothly from one pitch to another deter-
mined by the Porta Time setting. In the Gliss position the Portamento effect is Glissando, notes glide in semitone steps from one
pitch to another determined by the Porta Time setting. The range is Porta & Gliss. This parameter is memorised with a Program.
The lower parameter is “Porta mode”. In this case with a value of Exp.
This parameter determines if the glide of the Portamento effect is Linear or Exponential. Use the lower Data knob to adjust the
value of this parameter. Some synthesisers like the TB303* have an Exponential curve which gives them a “Character” to the way
slides are performed, on the other hand for Portamento lead Linear is the norm. The range is Lin & Exp. This parameter is memo-
rised with a Program.
Page 2 looks like so:
The higher parameter is “Poly mode”. In this case with a value of Mode 1.
This parameter determines If new voices are used when the same note is played. Use the upper Data knob to adjust the value of
this parameter. In the “Mode 1” position the voice allocation behaves like most modern synthesisers. i.e. a new voice is allocated to
every new note played even if the new note is being already played by another voice. In the “Mode 2” position the voice allocation
behaves like vintage 8 / 6 voice analogue synthesisers. i.e. If a new note is played that is already being played by another voice
the existing voice is soft retriggered & plays the new note. No new voice is allocated. The range is Mode 1 & Mode 2. This parame-
ter is memorised with a Program.
The lower parameter is “Osc mode”. In this case with a value of Percussive.
This parameter determines if the Oscillators are reset on note on or not. Use the lower Data knob to adjust the value of this para-
Poly mode Mode 1
