Meaning

PWM

85

On: 64-127
Off: 0-63

Controls the parameter [PWM 1&2].

Pitch

86

On: 64-127
Off: 0-63

Controls the main pitch.

Filter

87

On: 64-127
Off: 0-63

Controls the parameter [Filter Cutoff Digital].

Amp

88

On: 64-127
Off: 0-63

Controls the parameter [OSC Volume].

The integrated low frequency oscillator (LFO) can effect up to five destination parameters. The LFO speed will synchronise 
automatically to an externally applied MIDI clock.

Bitpattern

Up to seven destination parameters can be effected by the modulation 
wheel:  [ADRS Release], [OSC Volume], [Filter Resonance], [Filter Cutoff 
Analog, [PWM 1] and [PWM 2] can be assigned in form of an bitpattern 
to  any possible combination. The desired combination can be taken 
from the “Bitpattern“ table chart.

Meaning

Filter Cutoff

18 or 74

0-127

Adjusts the digital filter cutoff frequency.

Filter Resonance

15 or 71

0-127

Amplifies the digital filter resonance area.

DC Offset 
(Post Filter)

22 or 94

0-127

Bitshifter. The waveform after the digital filter can be shifted upwards 
by a level set here. As soon the upper limit is reached the truncated part 
will be inserted at the lower limit again. Thereby experimental sounding 
tones can be generated here once more. 

Filter Type

28 or 79

LP: 0-63
BP: 64-95
HP: 96-127

LP = low pass filter 
BP = band pass filter
HP = high pass filter

Filter Cutoff 
(Analog) 

14 or 70

0-127

After the digital filter and DA conversion, an additional analog low-pass 
filter follows.  The analog filter cutoff frequency is adjusted here. 
Note : this parameter isn‘t useful for dynamic control because disturb-
ing noises can occur while playing notes and changing this parameter 
at the same time.

Filter Link ADSR

29 or 80

On: 64-127
Off: 0-63

The amplifier envelope can control the digital filter cutoff frequency if 
linked. [On] will activate the link.
